Luxury Perth Apartments: Breathtaking Mounts Bay Views! – A Review from Someone Who Actually Stayed There (And, Let's Be Honest, Needs a Vacation)
Alright, alright, buckle up, because this isn't your typical, perfectly-polished hotel review. I, your humble (and slightly sleep-deprived) reviewer, just spent a glorious, or perhaps not-so-glorious, week at Luxury Perth Apartments, those guys boasting “Breathtaking Mounts Bay Views!” Let's break it down, shall we? And believe me, I need to, to sort through the sheer amount I experienced.
SEO & Metadata (Because Apparently, We Need That):
- Keywords: Perth, Luxury Apartments, Mounts Bay, View, Accessibility, Spa, Pool, Restaurant, Wi-Fi, Cleanliness, Safety, Amenities.
- Meta Description: Honest review of Luxury Perth Apartments, including accessibility, dining, spa, views, safety, and quirks. Is it worth it? Find out! (Spoiler: Maybe.)
First Impressions (aka, the Jet Lag Talking)
The 'breathtaking' view? Yeah, it’s there. Mounts Bay is undeniably beautiful. Seriously, the first morning, I cracked open the blackout curtains (a lifesaver, by the way – see Available in All Rooms below) and just… stared. Stunning. Actually took my breath away. Then I remembered I hadn't had coffee and promptly ran to the Coffee/tea maker in my room. Winning!
But getting to the view? That's where things start to… well, get real.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (and My Knee Hurts)
Okay, let's be brutally honest: I'm not in a wheelchair, but I've got a bum knee that thinks it is. The apartment itself seemed pretty good, though it wasn't perfect. The Facilities for disabled guests are there, listed, but the true test would be someone who needs them; like the elevator – obviously useful. They mention the Car park [free of charge] on-site, which is useful. Getting around the property? A few slopes here and there. I hobbled, but I managed. Others, might need to know every detail for.
The Rest of the Amenities – Diving In (and Possibly Drowning in Options)
Internet & Tech Stuff:
- Wi-Fi [free]: Phew! Thank god for *Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!. A must-have, especially after a long travel. Worked brilliantly which the big screen TV streaming Netflix at night was amazing. *Internet Access – LAN* is also there for the old-school networkers, but I stuck with the wireless, which was quick and reliable for work and streaming.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Big Picture
- Room sanitization opt-out available: This is a nice option. Great for my paranoia. If you’re like me, and slightly (okay, very) obsessed with germs, you'll appreciate the Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Staff trained in safety protocol. The Daily disinfection in common areas made me feel a little less like I was living in a petri dish.
- Cashless payment service: Handy. Who carries cash anymore? Essential condiments.
- Hygiene certification: Good to know, I guess. I'm still going to use hand sanitizer every five seconds.
- Doctor/nurse on call: peace of mind.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Fueling the Experience
- Restaurants: there is Restaurant, and Coffee shop for basic needs.
- Room service [24-hour]: Amazing! Great after a long day, or when you just don't feel like putting on pants.
- Snack bar: because you will need snacks.
- Breakfast in room: a total guilty pleasure – the Breakfast takeaway service is also great if you're in a hurry. I may or may not have ordered this every single morning.
- Bar & *Poolside bar: good for a sundowner, maybe? I think I had one, or two…or three. Blame the jet lag.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa, Pool, and the Pursuit of Bliss
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The pool with view is seriously Instagrammable. And the Poolside bar makes it even better!
- Spa/sauna: Spa, Sauna, and Steamroom options. Did I really have a Body scrub? Probably should have…
- Fitness center: Yep, it exists. I looked at it. From a distance. (I swear, I was going to go. Tomorrow. For sure.)
The Room: My Fortress of Solitude (and Chaos)
My apartment? Gorgeous, actually. The Mounts Bay views were truly everything. The Air conditioning is great, Blackout curtains are a must. I loved the Desk and Laptop workspace (I actually managed some (forced) work).
- Slippers: A nice touch.
- Hair dryer: Essential.
- Bathtub: I love a good soak.
- Coffee/tea maker: My best friend, honestly.
- Daily housekeeping: They're good at what they do.
More Observations, A Rambling Detour, and the Truth
- Check-in/out [express]: Efficient. Too efficient? Maybe. I like dawdling. I'm a dawdler.
- Services and conveniences: Concierge was helpful, especially for booking tours.
- Pets allowed: unavailable – Phew! The Food delivery options were a lifesaver – especially on the days when my brain refused to function.
- For the kids: Babysitting service: They're Family/child friendly.
- Parking Nice to be able to park without having to pay a fortune although at busy times the Car park [on-site] could be a little bit crowded.
The Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real)
- The Elevator: A bit slow, sometimes felt like being stuck in a tin can.
- The "Luxury" Factor: While the views were undeniably high luxury, the service felt a tiny bit… impersonal. Not rude, just… business-like.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Ultimately, yes. Despite the minor foibles, the Luxury Perth Apartments delivers. The view alone sells it. Add in the convenience of the location, the cleanliness (always a plus), and the decent amenities, and it’s a solid choice. Just remember to pack your own sense of humor, and maybe a good book. You'll need it for the inevitable jet lag-induced existential crises, and you'll forget about any niggles when you stare into Mounts Bay.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sterile, corporate travel itinerary. This is… my potential Perth apartment adventure. And let's be honest, it's already looking less "perfect" and more "slightly chaotic," which is exactly how I like it.
Destination: Apartments on Mounts Bay, Perth, Australia. The dream, right? Well, let's see if the dream holds up…
Duration: Honestly? Still figuring that out. Probably a long weekend? Maybe? Don't hold me to it. (Procrastination is my superpower, yo.)
Day 1: Arrival, Awkward Hugs, and the Mystery of the Missing Key
- 11:00 AM: Arrive at Perth Airport. Breathe. Okay, deep breaths. Remember to smile. Try to remember why I thought this was a good idea in the first place.
- Potential Anomaly: Flight delays. Because, let's be real, whose flight isn't delayed these days? I vow to remain calm… probably fail.
- Emotion: Anticipation laced with a healthy dose of "oh-god-what-have-I-done?"
- 12:00 PM: Taxi (or, depending on my budget, potentially public transport, which, let's be honest, is a whole experience in itself) to Apartments on Mounts Bay. Pray I booked the right place. (I’ve been known to make a mistake or two)
- Quirky Observation: I'm already imagining the taxi driver's sigh when I inevitably start asking about anything and everything on the drive. They'll know… they'll just know.
- 1:00 PM: Check-in. The moment of truth. Will the apartment be as advertised? More importantly, will the key work? (I have a history with keys. It's a long and tragic story involving a very angry landlord and a mysteriously vanished spare key.) This is going to be good/bad/both.
- Messier Structure: What if I can't find the place? What if I lock myself out immediately? What if the welcome package includes something revolting? (I'm talking about you, questionable coffee sachets)
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, my stomach flips. I'm getting a bad feeling.
- 2:00 PM: Unpack. Survey the situation. Where's the Wi-Fi password? The real question. Is the bed too soft? Too hard? Just right? (This is crucial).
- Rambling: I'm so hungry right now. I'm always hungry. Maybe I should order Uber Eats? But then again, I should be exploring. The dilemma of the perpetually hungry traveler.
- 3:00 PM: Stroll along Mounts Bay Road? Maybe? Or, maybe I just lay in bed and cry a little. Depends on how the unpacking goes.
- Opinionated Language: If the view isn't stunning, I'm going to be extremely disappointed. I'm expecting to be blown away by beauty.
- 6:00 PM: Find a pub. Any pub. Preferably one with good beer and (fingers crossed) decent pub grub. This is non-negotiable. I need to decompress and celebrate the successful arrival, regardless of any key-related dramas.
- Anecdote: Remember when I tried to order a beer in… [insert city here]? The bartender looked at me like I'd sprouted a second head. Lesson learned: learn the local lingo for beer!
- Minor Category: Survival Skill: Finding a decent pub. Is it a skill? I think so.
Day 2: Kings Park and the Battle for the Insta-Perfect Photo (and the Ice Cream Calamity)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast? Probably toast. Or cereal. Or, let's be real, just whatever I can scavenge.
- 10:00 AM: Explore Kings Park. Apparently, it’s gorgeous. I’m hoping for a massive panorama, possibly a kangaroo sighting (unlikely, but hey…).
- Doubling Down on experience: Okay, Kings Park. Let's talk about Kings Park. I MUST. GET. THAT. PHOTO. The one with the city skyline, the blooming flowers, and the gorgeous backdrop. This photo will be the bane of my existence. I will stalk that perfect shot for hours. I will annoy everyone within a five-mile radius. This is now my goal.
- Emotional Reaction: Ugh. I feel the Instagram pressure creeping in. It's not even funny anymore.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. Picnic in Kings Park! (If I've managed to get my act together and actually pack a picnic. Expecting failure here, but I'll try.)
- Quirky Observation: I will probably spill something on myself. It's practically a given.
- 2:00 PM: Ice cream. Crucially Important.
- Ice Cream Calamity (Stream of Consciousness): Okay, ice cream. The most important part of the day. I will get ice cream. I deserve ice cream. Chocolate? Vanilla? Maybe a sorbet for a change? Oh, the choices! Wait, is there a good ice cream shop nearby? I'll need to look that up. Oh, I might spill the ice cream. I know I'll make a mess – drips down my hands, melting down my shirt… I can already see the disaster unfolding! But, I won't care. I will eat the ice cream. And I will enjoy it. (I hope). I'll probably get it all over my face. I might even drop it. But I will not let the ice cream defeat me. This is war, my friends. War.
- 4:00 PM: Consider a visit to the Perth Zoo. Or, perhaps… take a nap?
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and relaxation. (Pray I'm not still covered in ice cream.)
Day 3: Ferry Fiascos, Fremantle Fun, and The Great Souvenir Hunt
- 9:00 AM: Attempt to arrange a ferry trip to Fremantle. (Let's see if I can actually follow through with this one.)
- Minor Category: Potential for Disaster: Ferries. Boats. Water. I'm not exactly known for my navigational skills. I've gotten lost in a supermarket. A supermarket.
- 10:00 AM: Actually (hopefully) get on the ferry to Fremantle.
- 11:00 AM - 3 PM: Explore Fremantle. Historic streets, maybe a museum, definitely a decent lunch.
- Anecdote: Remembering a time in… [another city] when I tried to haggle prices with a street vendor and ended up arguing about the meaning of "discount." Oh, the embarrassment.
- Rambling: I should buy souvenirs. I always say I'll buy souvenirs and then I completely forget. I need to think about what kind of souvenirs. Magnets? Keychains? Random, weird trinkets? I might have to bring home an entire container filled with stuff that I won't have any use for. But I love that stuff!
- 4:00 PM: Ferry back to Perth. Hopefully, I don't get seasick. (I'm prone to it.)
- 6:00 PM: Farewell dinner. Celebrate. Or, cry in a corner. Depends on how things went.
Day 4: Departure (and the inevitable packing panic)
- Morning: Pack! The dreaded chore. Realize I have way too much stuff and nothing fits into my suitcase. Panic sets in.
- Messier Structure: Where's my charger? Did I remember to buy souvenirs? Did I actually find the key? Did I forget my passport?!
- Emotional Reaction: The anxiety is real. The "I-didn't-do-enough" feeling creeps in. Did I have enough fun? Did I see everything? I want to stay, but I also just wanna go home.
- Later: Last-minute coffee. One final panoramic view from my apartment window (if I didn't lock myself out.)
- Afternoon Head to the airport and wait for my flight.
Post-Trip: Debrief with myself. "Was it worth it?" (Spoiler alert: probably yes, even with the inevitable mishaps). Regret not getting even more ice cream. Start planning the next adventure!
So, there you have it. My (tentative) Perth apartment itinerary. It's messy. It's probably going to go off the rails. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? Wish me luck… I'm gonna need it.

Luxury Perth Apartments: Mounts Bay Views - Your Burning Questions (And My Semi-Coherent Answers!)
So, are the views *really* as amazing as they look in the pictures? I mean, come on, they're always Photoshopped, right?
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because I'm about to get REAL. The pictures? They're… pretty darn accurate. I went in there, right? Fully expecting some serious embellishment. Like, "the ocean's blue, but in reality, it's more of a slightly less depressing grey" kind of embellishment. Nope. You walk in, and BAM. Mounts Bay just explodes into your face. It's like a giant, shimmering postcard. I'm not even exaggerating; I actually gasped audibly the first time I saw it. My *ex-husband* was with me then. (Don't ask. Let's just say, the view was the best part of that particular day.) Anyway, back to the view... it totally changes with the light. Sunsets? Forget about it. They're basically a religious experience. I once saw a double rainbow arching right *over* the city. I swear, I nearly burst into tears. Okay, I *might* have burst into tears. Don't judge me. Views are emotive things, alright?
What's the deal with the "luxury"? Is it actually luxurious, or is it just fancy wallpaper and a tiny, overpriced fridge?
Alright, luxury is subjective, innit? It depends what you consider luxurious. Is it the kind of luxury where a butler silently follows you around, polishing your monocle while you read the Financial Times? Probably not. But. The appliances? Top-notch. The finishes? Solid. Like, I’m talking granite countertops you could *murder* someone with (metaphorically speaking, of course). My friend Deb had a *very* good cry over a bad breakup in the kitchen (again, metaphorically…ish). The point it, everything feels well-made. You're not getting IKEA, that's for sure. There’s a feeling of… solidity. Which, honestly, these days, is a luxury in itself. And the fridge? Surprisingly spacious. You could probably fit at least three bottles of champagne in there. Minimum. (Pro-tip: always have champagne on hand in a luxury apartment. It's the law, I think).
Can you walk to the shops and restaurants? Because I *need* my coffee fix. Like, *need* it.
Okay, coffee-obsessed friend. I get you. Coffee is life. And yes. The location is pretty darn good. You're not *right* on top of everything, which is an absolute blessing because you wouldn't want the riff-raff getting in your way, would you? But a decent walk, or a quick taxi ride/Uber, and you're golden. There are some cute little cafes nearby. Seriously, some of the best coffee I've ever had was a short stroll away. Think trendy, artisan places with baristas who actually know how to make a decent flat white. And dinner? Same deal. Perth's food scene is pretty hot right now (minus the price tag. Gotta factor that expense as well). So, yeah. Coffee: covered. Restaurants: covered. You're basically set for a life of delicious caffeination and gourmet dining.
Is there a gym? Because I might *pretend* to use it…
Heh. I knew this question would come up. Yes. There’s a gym. A *very* nice gym. Probably with machines that look like they came straight from the future. It had all the things. Treadmills with built-in TVs, weights that probably weigh more than I do, yoga mats… you get the picture. Now, *did* I actually use it? Okay, confession time… once. I went once. I lasted about ten minutes. I spent most of that time admiring the view from the window (yes, even the gym has a stunning view – it's a curse, I tell ya!). The only thing I lifted was a bottle of water. So, the gym is there. It's fancy. It has a view. Will *you* use it? That's entirely up to you… but no judgement if you mostly just admire it from afar like I did.
What's the vibe of the residents? Are they stuffy, or are they… well, normal?
Ugh, good question. Okay, here's the thing: luxury apartments tend to attract a certain… type. I didn’t get to do any nosy neighbour gossiping (thankfully!), but from what I could gather, there was a mix of people. Early retirees, successful professionals (the kind who probably have a private jet), and maybe a few secret socialites. I didn't see too many people in tracksuits, if that helps paint a picture. The people I saw were polite. Too polite, almost. I'm sure they're lovely people. I'm just not sure I'd want to be neighbors with them. It just feels… curated. Like everyone's putting on an act. You know, the kind of place where you quietly judge each other's designer handbags. And I’m all for nice things, but I’m not sure I could handle that long-term. It just requires an awful lot of effort. So, "normal"? Maybe not. "Polite"? Definitely. "Rich"? Probably.
Anything I should know about parking? Because finding parking in Perth is a *nightmare*!
Oh, the parking. Right. This is important. *Generally*, yes, there's secure parking. It’s probably underground. It’s probably accessed via a fob or a code. It’s probably *expensive*. (Everything is expensive). But, yes. Parking is usually provided. Double-check the specific apartment details, obviously. Because the last thing you want is to arrive with your brand-new Aston Martin and find yourself circling the block for an hour like a lost seagull. I've heard horror stories. I've lived them. Just… make sure parking is sorted. Seriously. Do it now. Before anything else!
Okay, spill. The worst part? The thing that makes you go, "Ugh, never again"?
Alright, let's get real. The *absolute* worst part… was the feeling of… well, it's hard to explain. It’s a bit like wearing a perfectly tailored suit that’s slightly too tight. Everything looks amazing, but you're constantly aware of it. You feel like you constantly need to be ‘on.’ Because everything is so… pristine. You spend your whole time tiptoeing around, afraid to make a mess. I get this weird anxiety that I'm going to spill wine on the pristine white carpet and cause a crisis. It’s exhausting. I prefer my own, slightly scruffier surroundings, where I can kick my feet up, eat pizza on the couch without judgment, and generally just be… myself. Perhaps it makes me sound less than sophisticated. Still, real life is more messy, more forgiving, and more *me*. And that's what matters inBordeaux Luxury Getaway: KYRIAD Hotel Unveiled!
