Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
I have stayed at this hotel over 50 times first time back in 1981. I have always enjoyed the location, the hotel and especially the pool. Unfortunately this time around the pool was closed for renovation with reopening date unsure according to the staff at reception.
