So what is it like staying at the Southern River Bed & Breakfast ? "a typical scenario " Away from the bustle. By Nasus Rekab “Home away from Home!” says the TripAdvisor review. Gosnells is not exactly a tourist precinct but I had some work to do in the area and I soon discovered there is only one Bed & Breakfast here in this South Eastern Suburb of Perth Western Australia. Booking in to the Southern River B & B is quick and painless. No booking buttons nor form filling. Just pick up the phone and speak to the Owner. Now there’s a novel idea in this technical age. I chose the single room with a shared bathroom for $95 per night. On arrival I was pleasantly surprised. With easy access to major roads and highways, 30 minutes from the airport and free off street parking, I was feeling at home already. Unlike other B & B’s Southern River is a separate fully self contained home. The hosts – Sue & Don live next door which is great if you have an additional requirements or just need information on the local area. Check in is simple. Each room has its own key. Great!. I could come and go as pleased. I followed Sue through the house - sitting room, dining, kitchen – ahh fresh coffee smells – Sue explained that breakfast is included in the Tariff and there are supplies of cereal, tea, coffee, milk, juices, yoghurts and fresh fruit here. If I had any special requirements I should just ask. . Next is the TV room, where a young guy is slumped on the couch, remote in one hand Iphone in the other. Both hands tap tapping rapid commands. Matt is down from the Wheatbelt to attend a TAFE course. I couldn’t see a problem sharing a bathroom with him. He is in the double room at $130 per night. Sue explained that he needed a larger room ‘to spread out’. He seems to have already done that! The guided tour continues through the hallway to laundry, bathroom now my room, which has a king single bed, bedside table, tv, built in robe, bathrobe, towels and slippers. I unpack my bags and glance around, no frilly, flowery décor here just tasteful, practical and homely. I set off back through the home to investigate outdoors. Cathy and Bruce, a Canadian couple visiting their son in Perth, pop out of a doorway to my left. They are in the King Room with ensuite. This is the most expensive room here at $150 per night. I can see why – it had a bed big enough to sleep a whole family! Cathy says it was so comfy that they slept in the first morning and missed their cooked breakfast. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac the B & B is ‘far from the hustle and bustle’ as promised online. Happy noises are wafting from the pool and from the patio, the sizzle of sausages and onions is taunting me. I was going to eat out at one of the many restaurants or café’s in Gosnells, but Don offered me a snag and a beer as Cathy, Bruce & Matt appeared through the door. Maybe a pleasant night in is what I need right now!
