BED AND BREAKFASTS

There is nothing better than staying in a B&B for that relaxed holiday feel, and Fremantle has some of the best bed and breakfast accommodation in Perth. Experience the old-world charm of staying in a converted flour mill that now resembles a French provincial manor at Port Mill B&B or bunker down in a Bavarian style building in the historic West End at Fremantle Bed and Breakfast.

If you value breath-taking scenery, then why not stay in a bed and breakfast on Monument Hill with views overlooking the whole city and the ocean. Fothergills of Fremantle is made up of three heritage listed grand Colonial 19th century houses. Their exteriors are stunning examples of colonial architecture and nothing has been spared on their interiors, filled as they are with a rich collection of art, paintings, glass, woodcraft and pottery from local, national and international artists. Take a short stroll outside and you'll find yourself at the world heritage listed Fremantle Prison where you can see where some of the city's least fortunate citizens stayed, or you can take a leisurely stroll for a few more minutes and arrive at the cappuccino strip, fishing boat harbour, railway station or ferry terminal.

Hamptons Inn B&B is not lacking in history by any means. The inn is a fully restored single level cottage, built in 1913 and listed on the State Heritage Register. The façade, with original tuck-pointed brickwork, and large wrap around veranda is typical of Fremantle homes of that period, and the interior, with its polished jarrah floor boards, high ceilings and spacious rooms completes the effect of transporting visitors back in time.

With centrally located positions and comfortable amenities Fremantle's B&Bs are the perfect base for an extended stay.
