On entering the amenities block at Cervantes, I was blasted (perhaps not blasted) by modern type music and wondered why would you have music in the amenity block. I contemplated a little and thought perhaps it was to drown out the moans and groans of the grey nomads!!! Not that I have heard any noises, only perhaps the happy squeals of very young children in the bath tubs. We have not had to wait for showers or toilets throughout our holiday, although we do rate each block on water pressure, hooks for hanging clothes, shelves and how wet you’re cubicle gets with the spraying of water and if you need to remember to take a key or not.. Oops I tell a little white lie, we did have to line up for the toilets in Karajini but that was in a National Park where there was only one loo per 30 or so people. So that is one thing I am looking forward too when I get home – my keyless ensuite!
Edit by Emma: Be careful what you wish for … we have arrived in Karrinyup Waters Resort (a northern suburb of Perth) and after Digby showed us the sites we could choose from, he advised us of the closest amenities blocks (both quite close) on inspection one block has at least 6 ensuites and 2 additional toilets AND we DONT need keys!! We are obviously in the most recently developed area of the park and are not letting on to the other nearby residents that this particular block is imaginarily entirely OUR castle to enjoy, we see them walking down this way and surreptitiously send vibes or low murmurs of “don’t go there, they are ours”.
Another Update:
Hmm, those vibes and low murmurs from the girls may have come back to bite us on bum. We got home today from our sightseeing in Perth to find the following message on the each door of the beloved “keyless ensuites”:
“There is NO HOT WATER in this ablution block until Friday afternoon due to plumbing works. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
And because we couldn’t possibly lower our standards and use the also-close-by communal showers, it’s no showers for us tonight. Probably just as well because our towels are still saturated from being out in the rain today while we were out.
Must inform you-we all DID have a shower yesterday, in Kings Park and we all got wet together. xxx
