Pension of Perth

Perth


Pension of Perth lays the belle époque luxury on thick, with rich floral rugs, brocade curtains, open fireplaces and gold-framed mirrors. It's a 120-year-old red-brick house, with two bay-window en suite doubles looking out onto a magnificent Moreton Bay fig across the street in Hyde Park, which has a good kids' playground, and a third room with spa bath. Free on-street parking. Includes continental breakfast.
