Cathedral Rocks Viewing Platform
Observation deck
๐ซค Bit of a harsh rating I know but if youโre on a tight timeline, you can probably give this a miss and save a bunch of time (particularly if youโre on a bike). We were happy to see it as we gave ourselves 12hrs on the island but if you got anything less than that it gonna be hard to achieve as itโs o...

Geordie's Cafe & Art Gallery
Cafe
๐ One of the worst services ever. We waited 30 minutes for two small and simple orders of chips. When we checked with the cashier, they didn't pay attention to us and we had to wait an additional 5 minutes. Furthermore, the food wasnโt good, the fries were soft, like when you unfrozen and continue in...

Narrow Neck
Tourist attraction
๐๐ Great part of Rottnest... The narrowest section being only 200m across .... In around 30 years erosion will apparently cause the island to be seperated at this section into 2. Surely they will build a bridge so we can still get to the west end. Might make for some great fishing though.
