Worst Brothel Conversion
Long time Perth residents will remember this building on the corner of Guilford and Garrett road Bayswater as one of Perth’s most famous brothels, The Happy Haven . Obviously some of us will remember the inside, others just the outside, but it was always a dismal and dispiriting looking place, certainly neither happy, nor haven like. How surprising then that it should look more depressing after being converted to a hire car joint.
Please note: The cars have a strict no kissing policy.

What used to amuse me most about it was the signage that said “Rear Entrance”
Yeah, “side door’ wouldn’t have have cut it.
Definitely no birds in there now
Maybe the girls were included in the sale – permanent fixtures or something like that.
Still, nobody wants to hire a car from a surly prossie.
Andrew #3. Damn, I forgot “No Birds”. Thanks.
Surly is the new “pouty”.
Really? What is the new surly?

On its busier nights, the divan base at the front could be lowered
into its current position by the use of the cables visible in the picture. I’m curious as to why the new owners chose to leave it
in this “open air ” position and not folded neatly against the wall but at least the mattress has been removed. Said to be the largest foam bed in the Southern
Hemisphere and also the stickiest, it was affectionately known
as Bed Zepp due to the Stairway to Heaven approach in order to access it. Would- be lovers leapt the two and a half metres down to what was often a multi-couple situation and cracks were not only visble from the other side of the road but also audible as nose and cheek fractures were commonplace. Interestingly, a few years ago, two American jetfighters flew into and destroyed a cable car and its cable during low flying manoeuvres in Europe. This very same cable was used to hold
“Bed Zepp”. I think the pilots must have just hit a weak spot.

Your missing the best gag! Bayswater hire cars uses the slogan
“No Birds!” .. and the moment everyone noticed it empty for a short period of time someone painted in yellow across the front “No Birds!” It was king!
sadly this building is now demolished
perhaps the car rental place was tired of people asking:
“am I gonna get screwed for mileage?”
its still ther now?
Went past it 2 days ago. Really gone!?? The small shops next door have gone. I think the rest still there.

All the cars from this place say No Birds on the side. I dont think you noticed that but you say people driving them all the time and on the back they say Bayswater Car Rental so this is where there coming from.
Thanks for bringing this little gem again to the collective attention TL101.Once the cheapest establishment in Perth, it had a room called the the “Pamper Parlour” aka the “Poodle Parlour”. The disappearance of the old establishments is one of the untold mysteries of new policing.
just to clear up the “no birds” chat,the bloke who owns the car hire company used that slogan as a pun ie we dont need birds(females) to help hire cars out the ads featured slender legs etc,nothing to do with the ex knocker shop,good cross reference but…..no cigar
Dude?
I’m guessing your mates usually explain their jokes to you.
I regularly drove through that intersection to and from my work at the airport.
Parking was at the back of the “parlour” and the sign advised “Rear Entrance”.
Shit! I’m repeating myself!

I used to live on Garratt Rd. Passed that place practically every day. Always had such a desolate air to it. I’m finding it incredibly weird that this photo is making me nostalgic. Wtf brain? o_0
