There’s an environmental edge to Sal Salis with its design tailored to preventing erosion, and to foster an environment that’s friendly to echidnas, goannas and the like. Just 67km from Exmouth the land isn’t the main draw here, this eco-tent resort being metres from the Ningaloo Reef. The main draw there being the Whale Sharks and Humpback whales. salsalis.com.au

You could argue that a stay at Samphire isn’t exactly regional, Rottnest Island being just 33km off Perth but it’s a world away from the mainland. You may opt to discover the charms of Wadjemup, it’s beaches and bays or relax in the Samphire Club a guest only lounge, dine at Lontara with its take on South-East Asian cuisine using produce from Western Australia’s land and sea, take an in-room spa treatments or just push the boat out and relax in a Signature Beachfront room. samphirerottnest.com.au

A collection of three-bedroom chalets which can be rented as one bedroom and upward, the charm of Parry Beach Breaks isn’t necessarily the modern, light filled residences but the age-old equation of location, location, location. Twenty minutes outside of Denmark in the wild and expansive Great Southern region, owners Angie and Darren Williams have positioned each chalet, so you wake in the master suite with an elevated, panoramic view of the Southern Ocean. parrybeachbreaks.com.au

You’d expect a restoration like the Premier Mill Hotel to sit in the likes of industrial Fremantle, not a small wheatbelt town like Katanning, known more for its sheep auctions than boutique accommodation. But this was the vision of one man, Nigel Oakey, the owner of café chain Dome. A history buff and it’s fair to say visionary, Oakey saved the former roller mill from dereliction, imagining a hotel with the help of spaceagency’s Michael Patroni, also known for the likes of Alex Hotel and a swathe of Perth’s best hospitality venues. As you walk the halls of Premier Mill you may see mechanical gears turning overhead and stay in rooms crafted into structures like the wooden grain silos. premiermillhotel.com

Could this be WA’s most instagrammed regional stay? What was a down at heel chalet park, 7.5 hours’ drive from Perth, has been reborn with imagination, and a good deal of spit and polish. Think whitewashed coastal A-Frames, complimentary cruiser bikes, all set between a fishing creek and the beach. This wild stretch of WA’s Southern Ocean coastline is known for its immaculate beaches, Lucky Bay to the east said to be Australia’s whitest sand. But Esperance has started to forge a reputation in recent years for its burgeoning food scene, with bakers, brewers, coffee roasters and distillers adding to the draw of this coastal gem. esperancechaletvillage.com.au

Glamping conjures up thoughts of well-appointed bell tents but there’s something mission to Mars-like when you see Mile End Glamping’s geodesic domes. You’ve got all those glamping must-haves like a private bathroom and kitchen, and a good night’s sleep awaits with a king bed. A private outdoor bath just adds to the off grid feel as you relax on the private 144 acre estate. Just 20-minutes from Margaret River, Dunsborough, and Busselton. It’s actually less of a mission when you want to delve into the region’s wineries and restaurants. mileendglamping.com.au

Another project from the team behind Premier Mill Hotel, Northam is just 90 minutes from Perth. With just sixteen rooms it’s truly boutique. As with its sister property there’s a desire to retain the history of not just the building but the town. First opened as The Farmers Home Hotel in 1866 it’s had other names and its fortunes have ebbed and flowed. A little tongue in cheek perhaps, The Temperance Bar, serving a strong selection of craft beer and wine from the Perth Hills and Swan Valley, is named for the period in the mid 1800s when Northam was a model Temperance Town. farmershomehotel.com

Already a name that says luxury in the Margaret River region, Cape Lodge is in the next chapter of its history under the wing of ZIZ the hospitality group, owned by the Forrest family, that includes iconic sites in WA and Gaia Retreat in Byron Bay. With lakeside rooms, the property set amongst the Lodge’s own vineyards is a perfect stay wine region stay. While change is undoubtedly underfoot, the most noticeable is the appointment of Adam Robson Chew as head chef. Last seen at Nomad in Sydney his relocation to the west coast, and this dining mecca, is of note. capelodge.com.au

Close to iconic Matso’s Brewery The Conti as it’s known locally has undergone a makeover and while it has the prerequisites for Broome – a balcony, pool and the like -it’s secret weapon is Papa Fuego, the South American bar come eatery which is one of Broome’s newest culinary openings. A raucous vibe, big flavours and cocktails that beg to be papped before the first sip are all on the menu. theconti.com.au

A stay at Wooleen Station is both a step back in time as well as a glimpse of the future. The original homestead was built in around 1918 and now listed by the Australian National Trust. Owners, David and Frances Pollock, have built a name for themselves in their quest to tackle the damage of conventional pastoral thinking and set about restoring the station’s, as well as the Murchison’s, fragile ecology through destocking. A 150,000-hectare property there’s space to explore as well as communal meals. wooleen.com.au
