    Rottnest Island, Western Australia | Sails & Spices

    It’s exciting planning a trip to Rottnest Island, or Rotto, as the locals call it.   You know you’re in for an amazing day! There’s no wonder it was recently voted the Top Destinations in Australia to Experience.  After a short Rottnest Express ferry ride from Perth or Fremantle, pick up your bike and a sandwich and spend the day exploring. Along the way you will find the most serene, deserted beaches.  Take a dip, and savour the sparkling turquoise views… all while knowing there is an ice-cold cider and some cute little quokkas waiting for you at the pub when you finish your ride.

    Salt Cay, Turks & Caicos, is the tiniest, saltiest, donkeyest island we have found!

    After a challenging year at work with a relocation and new role, we had one goal: ultimate relaxation.  The turquoise waters of the Turks & Caicos Islands beckoned.  Not content to settle in with the holiday crowds, we opted to go off the beaten path passing up the popular island of Providenciales (Provo) for Salt Cay and Grand Turk.
