The Lodge Wadjemup is not just a stay—it’s a pause. A recalibration. A quiet immersion into island life, where Rottnest’s raw beauty meets the considered comfort of one of WA’s most iconic properties, now reimagined for every season.
Cradled between tamarisk trees and the soft mirror of Garden Lake, this freshly transformed retreat sheds the tired lodge vibes of old, instead offering a quiet luxury that feels effortless, soothing, and unmistakably Rottnest—even as the island slows and cools through winter.
If you caught our earlier feature on The Lodge Wadjemup’s Winter Wine Series, you’ll know the island’s off-season scene is steadily gaining momentum. Now, the island’s newest hotel is doubling down on winter with a suite of seasonal packages designed to make the cooler months feel like something truly special—whether you’re after a romantic weekend, a midweek pause, a family-friendly break, or a relaxed weekend away.
Consider the Cosy Up package your invitation to a romantic weekend, a girls’ retreat, or simply some well-deserved ‘me time.’ Imagine slow evenings by the fire with a bottle of WA wine and a gourmet cheese plate, tickets to the island’s intimate cinema, and a shared set menu dinner at Sunsets Bar & Dining—only to then wake in the morning to a generous breakfast buffet affair.
If the week’s starting to feel a little same-old, the Midweek Moments package is the perfect way to hit pause and shake things up. Book three nights between Sunday and Thursday and you’ll only pay for two. With daily breakfast and a shared set menu dinner to look forward to, it’s the perfect midweek escape to break you out of your winter rut.
While you’re there, make the most of a few extra perks. Slow things down with a round of golf or an afternoon of lawn balls—both 10% off when you’re staying at The Lodge Wadjemup. Back at home base, ease into the evening with Sunset’s aperitivo hour: $2 oysters and $10 wines and schooners served from 3–5pm on weekdays.
Don’t fret if a weekday escape isn’t on the cards, the Winter Weekends package offers the perfect alternative. Enjoy 25% off stays from Friday to Sunday, late checkout, and the same breakfasts and fireside dinner as offered in the midweek package.
Got kids? The Lodge has got you. When you’re desperate to break up the monotonous dinner-bath-bed routine, the Family Winter Escape welcomes kids under 12 with free meals, a special welcome pack, a round of mini golf, and plenty of soft serve treats at Pelican—making for a getaway the whole family can enjoy.
Whichever package you choose, it’s the full Lodge experience that lingers. From the moment you arrive, the pace shifts. Rooms are sun-drenched and spacious, dressed in burnt orange and baby blue—a nod to the island’s palette. The heated pool in the newly unveiled Poolhouse precinct makes winter swims not just possible, but irresistible. And your days on the island unfold however you choose.
This is luxury that whispers, not shouts. And in winter—cooler, quieter, slower—it’s all the more worth tuning in to.
