Easy to use and got me the accomodation I wanted saving time and effort. Worth the $ as it performed perfect for its exact purpose.

Why people use it
Missed out on Rottnest Open Day?
On Open Day, demand is high and Rottnest uses a virtual queuing system. You can log in, join the queue and still find yourself a long way back. By the time you get through, the accommodation you wanted may already be gone.
That does not always mean your trip is over. Bookings change, people cancel and accommodation can reappear later.
Quokka Watch keeps checking after Open Day, so you do not have to keep logging back in and refreshing the site yourself.
Open Day can be competitive
High demand means popular dates and accommodation can disappear quickly.
Missing out is not always final
Cancellations and booking changes can make accommodation available again later.
Checking manually gets frustrating
Repeatedly logging in and refreshing the site takes time and is easy to forget.
We keep watching after Open Day
Set up a watch and Quokka Watch keeps checking for something that matches your trip.

Reviews
Trusted by Rottnest travellers
Quokka Watch has taken the stress out of trying to secure bookings through the main Rottnest booking system. It is insanely easy to navigate, and the instant notifications you receive when units become available for your preferred dates, means you aren’t needing to continuously check online for cancellations from the main Rotto booking website. Highly recommend!

Real situations
How people actually use it.
Different trips need different kinds of flexibility. See how people use Quokka Watch to give themselves more chances of finding a stay.
StarterThe dates are locked in
Ferry booked for a long weekend, nowhere to stay. One watch on those exact dates, one area, no more nightly refreshing.
FlexibleAny weekend that autumn would do
Three areas, a three-week window, 2 to 4 nights. Hundreds of date combinations covered instead of one hopeful guess.
PowerSchool holidays with the kids
The hardest window of the year. Several watches across different weeks and areas, so whichever cancellation lands first, you hear about it.
The more options that could work for you, the more chances Quokka Watch has to find a match.
