perth stay w/ ocean view
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g255103-i531-k1550536-Desperate_Accommodation_with_a_sea_ocean_view-Perth_Western_Australia.html
For shopping you almost need one day. It's on Murraystreet downtown and another street (I forgot the name) with big stores. Next to the shopping center is the trainstation. Here you can take a train to Freemantle. They run frequently. Before the trainstation (in the shopping area) is the tourist information. Maybe you can find some suggestions for other activities or maybe other TripAdvisors can inform you in this. I wish you a nice stay in Perth.

outdoor movies!
Hi Ian, not much of a "nightclub" person which is why I maybe like Perth so much. ;)
But, how about some of our outdoor concerts/movies. I just went to the Joondalup Pines movies last weekend. Get some takeaway dinner from the nearby restaurants in Joondalup, stake out your spot with a couple of cushions in the theatre, then have a picnic dinner out on the lawns, glass of wine (Margaret River if you have it!). Once the movie is about to start, settle into your cushions with more wine, cheese platter and watch the movie under the stars.
Same deal with lots of concerts in Kings Park over summer. I think the zoo does a few of these as well (they used to, not sure about this year).
As far as Margaret River goes, lovely but sadly overpriced (and mostly over-rated...as much as I love it). If you are into wine and food, try Pemberton, Denmark and even the Swan Valley (right on Perth's doorstep). (Still quite a few little gems in Margaret river to find though)
If you are going to be here permanently, I would suggest getting involved in our many sporting clubs.
I don't know much about the north of our state, but I know it is huge. Incredible unspoiled views and landscapes If you can afford it I hear cruises along the north coast are wonderful.
Best of luck!

5 days in perth
That would be a very long five days if you were to fit that all in!
Perth and Fremantle could possibly fit in one day depending on how much you wish to see or do and can be done easily by public transport.
Rottnest Island is a day trip. Ferry approx 8.45am and return 4.25pm. You could do this depending on the weather - Wouldn't be very nice if it was forecast to rain the whole day!
Swan Valley - You can get to Guildord (the beginning of the Swan Valley) by train but from here you run out of options. You can book a shuttle around for $30 for the day to take you around if you didn't wish to do a tour. This would be a day also unless you joined an afternoon tour.
The Pinnacles - You can technically get here by the Greyhound bus (not public transport) for around $50 but these do not run reguarlly and I doubt you can do a return trip in the same day with this service. I suggest joining a day tour for this one (it is over a 3 hour drive each way).
Margaret River is approx a 4 hour drive. Once again not a great day trip with 8 hours of driving!
If it were me - I would see Perth and Freo in one day, a trip to Rottnest Island the next (weather dependent), join a day tour to the Pinnacles and spend the last 2 days in Margaret River. No need to do BOTH Margaret River and Swan Valley in this time. You can get a bus to MR. (www.transwa.com.au)

suggested 4 day itinerary
hi there, thanks for the replies!
we have came up with a few alternatives for our itinerary, hopefully you guys can give your opinion about which on is better!
14th may: arrival in perth at 12am (not sure what to do yet, to wait in airport or???)
14th may morning: check into settlers' rest, tour swan valley (i'm not sure what activities are included in the package for settlers' rest)
15th may morning: check out of settlers' rest, day tour of boshack
16th: fremantle
17th: city tour
OR
14th: boshack day tour, then check into a park (are there any family parks that we can stay in?)
15th: tour swan valley, check into settlers'
16th: check out of settlers at 11am, fremantle
17th: city tour
we decided to do a farm stay at settlers' instead as the 1 night farm stay at boshack is quite expensive for us at $189 per person, with everything included though. but the activities at boshack are very attractive and so we decided to do a day tour there, which is at about $65. we will be driving. i am more inclined to option 1. what do you guys think??

farm stays
There are a couple of farmstays located in the Swan Valley only a 1/2 hour drive from Perth: The River Retreat http://www.theriverretreat.com.au/ and Settlers Rest Farmstay http://www.settlersrest.com.au/ and a little further north in the Chittering Valley about 1 hour drive from Perth: Orchard Glory Farm Resort http://www.orchardglory.com.au/ and Bindoon's Windmill Farm http://www.ausbusiness.net/windmill/. These are all within relatively short driving distance from Perth city and Fremantle so if you choose you could stay at the farmstay for the duration of your trip but as mentioned above a hire car would be a necessity.
