        Lovely Hidden Gem”

        Located back from the beach near the salt lakes, this accommodation is simply stunning. We stayed in a ground level lake view room and couldn't have been happier. The view was wonderful, inside the room was modern, clean and well maintained and there were plenty of Quokkas in the evening coming for a visit to make it that little bit more special. Definitely great value for money and would happily stay there again. The only issue I had is that the luggage transfer to the ferry off the island occurs at 12pm and I couldn't access my bags to get my bathers (my fault), an option for forgetful people like me would be a bonus. All in all a wonderful place with wonderful staff.

        It is a lovely resort with fantastic location. You can hop on a shuttle bus which is like 1 minute walk away. The room are nice and clean and staff are attentive. Buffet breakfast was delicious and has good selections to choose from. I could see lots of qoukkas right out of my room. Had such a great time and definitely will stay here again.

        Stayed for 1 night with a group of family & friends for a birthday celebration. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and made sure we had a lovely stay. The location is magic - easy walk to ferry, shops & Rottnest attractions. The rooms in the old part are a bit tired but they were clean and comfortable with clean linen & towels and the buffet breakfast was great, as was the sparkling pool. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Karma.

        This is the oldest accommodation on the island formerly the old prison. Now it's a boutique resort but still has old world charm. Great staff and service. Conveniently located within walking distance to the ferry and all amenities at Thompson Bay. We enjoyed our stay and would come back another time.

        Premium Lakeside Room was spacious and comfortable. Quokkas visiting the patio door was a lovely bonus. Breakfast was usual buffet choices and left us full beyond lunch time. Had a lovely quiet night then could hear our neighbours the following night but would stay again.

        Karma is in a great location. Its older but has large rooms. Having the pool is a bonus for relaxing without going back to your room. We were unable to get Wifi in our room. The room was very clean however we had a problem with ants. The included buffet breakfast was very good. We are vegans and by bringing our own plant based spread and soy milk we had heaps of food. Dinner options for us were few so not having cooking facilities was difficult but we managed well enough! Would stay here again.

        Christmas Lunch was the Best”

        Had Christmas lunch at the Lodge 20 years ago ... until this trip I have kept saying it was the best Christmas lunch I have ever had. 20 years later ... this was the Best I have ever had. We stayed for 3 of the most relaxing nights and days that I can remember having for a long time. The staff were very friendly and always happy to help. The food was fantastic and extensive. The weather was very Hot, but when the sea breeze came in it was great. All in All a very good and memorable holiday. Will definitely go again ... but will not wait 20 years for next time.

        Exceptional”

        We had friends visit us while we were there and it would have been nice to sit and chat away from the bar.

        Really good place to stay”

        We really enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable (We will try for a lakeside room next time) and breakfast was excellent. Staff were always helpful. We definitely plan to stay there again.

        A little dated but very clean and comfortable ”

        Karma is very conveniently located. The rooms are very clean although dated and the tv wasn’t tuned in. The bed was comfortable and the pool area was nice and well maintained.

        Brilliant stay again on Rotto”

        A great stay before Christmas, we love Rottnest and Karma is perfectly situated when you have young children and elderly members of your group. It’s close to everything and has terrific facilities for young children and good access for those less able. A huge shout out for the gophers too from the bike hire place. My mum loved it! The trailers on the bikes were perfect for our one year old. We would go back in a heartbeat. Oh and the best massage I’ve ever had at the Karma spa with Nyoman. You have to book with her!

        Great location”

        We had two nights on Rottnest Island and had the best time. Karma is a great location to everything the down side is they have a pub attached which was quite loud and kept me awake
