Western Australia travel restrictions: Where you can go in April 2021
What you need to know before you pack up to go exploring in your own backyard
Travel Restrictions By State
What Is Open In...
We’re reader-supported and may be paid when you visit links to partner sites. We don’t compare all products in the market, but we’re working on it!
Travel restrictions are easing across Western Australia, allowing residents the freedom to roam around the state in search of sun, surf and adventure.
The only exception is travel to remote Australian communities, which still remains off limits.
So what can you expect when you head out? Well, physical distancing measures and increased hygiene practices will be in place. This means a slightly different travel experience to what you're used to.
If you're in or travelling to Perth we recommend checking out our guide to what's open for up-to-date details on restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping centres and open spaces. For everything else, keep reading.
Accommodation in Western Australia
All accommodation, including hotels, motels, campgrounds, private and rented holiday homes and staying with friends and family, is allowed in Western Australia.
Staying with friends and family
Western Australians can stay overnight with friends or family unless you're in a restricted region.
That being said, anyone who's 70 or over or in a high-risk category may wish to reconsider travelling or having friends over.
Staying at a hotel
Hotels, hostels and private accommodation such as homeshares and holiday homes are open across WA.
When you arrive, there may be extra physical distancing measures in place such as a booking system to use the pool and gym in order to limit numbers.
Your hotel should let you know of any COVIDSafe details when you book. Alternatively, head to its website for the latest information.

Staying in a holiday home
Western Australians are free to travel to and stay in holiday homes, unless they're in a restricted region.
Booking a holiday home through Airbnb or Stayz is also permitted, though it's advised that you seek out entire homes or apartments to avoid any shared spaces.
Airbnb has placed a worldwide limit of 16pax for rentals, excluding boutique hotels and event venues.
Staying at a hostel
Hostels are open and, similar to hotels, strict measures are in place to align with physical distancing and hygiene requirements.
Multi-share room capacities have been reduced to comply with the 2-square-metres-per-person rule. Increased cleaning measures are in place, as are hand sanitisation stations for guests and workers.
You may also discover that communal areas, such as kitchens and lounges, are either closed or have their capacity limited.
Camping and caravanning
Campsites across the state are back up and running, including their communal facilities. There are no maximum limits to the sites; however, you should still maintain physical distancing when socialising with anyone outside your party.
Group limits in Perth and Peel are currently set at 20pax.
Some campsites might require pre-booking. Visit the Parks and Wildlife Service site to find out more.
Tours in Western Australia
From wine tours and tastings to tour buses and scenic flights, tours have all started up again. Outside of restricted areas, there are no gathering limits but the 2-square-metre-per-person rule is in place.
Scenic flights, charter boats, buses, skydiving and other transport-based tours are exempt from this physical distancing rule.
Tourist attractions in Western Australia
Galleries, museums, historic sites, cinemas and amusement parks have all reopened across Western Australia, as have major tourist experiences such as cycling around Rottnest Island and whale watching in Augusta.
