Fremantle (Freo), Perth’s maritime center, offers a pleasant change of pace from the nearby state capital. From the Victorian Fremantle Markets to the convict-built History Museum to the strikingly modern Maritime Museum, Fremantle is an elegant and energetic spot. Head south and enjoy patio dining on the Cappuccino Strip, famous for its great beaches and boisterous nightlife.

Little Creatures

Want to learn about all things brewing along with the Little Creatures story? Brewery Tours with one of our resident hop heads include learning about the brewing process and the great ingredients we use as well as the Little Creatures story. Finish with a guided tasting of the full range of beers. Brewery tours run daily at 12, 1, 2 & 3pm and Fridays at 6pm. Book on our website or drop into the brewhouse bar just before the start and sign up. Brewery Tours are $25pp and 18+ only. Duration approx. 1.5 hrs. No time for a tour? We also do self-guided tasting trays ($15) or you can drop in to the Little Creatures Great Hall for a bite to eat and beer served straight from the conditioning tanks, it doesn't get any fresher! You can also pick up a six pack or some Little Creatures swag to take home, or hire a free bike hire to explore Fremantle.

Did the brewery tour and the guide was very insightful about beer production and super friendly. Got to try all of their types of beers in a chill setting. On the harbour too so the view was nice as well.

Fantastic location for a few night's stay. Close enough for access to facilities, but private enough to feel like you have the island to yourself. Great family style cabins too with plenty of privacy and a stunning view.

Made this our last last spot when cycling around Rottnest island. Spent the most time here after a long day of exploring. Good to spend some extended time on the nice beach, does get pretty popular sometimes but it's so nice. Great snorkeling and diving too at each end around the rocks.

Wide white sand and areas that are dog friendly. Easy access from the train or plenty of parking bays. Good swimming and a safe, clean beach looking out over the Indian Ocean. Enjoy the sunsets.

Quite an interesting place to visit. Lots of colour and noise. We took a short walk to bathers beach and south mole to watch a container ship come in. Lots of eateries and breweries nearby. A bonus is the bon scott statue.

Port Beach

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

In days gone by, we would pack our beah umbrella and Esky in our station wagon and head for Port Beach. We would have our picnic and then, after waiting half an hour, we would head for the water. Today Port Beach is much the same. The water is usually placid and it's a favourite picnic spot for young families. It's one of the best beaches in the Metro area. The beach gets a battering in the Indian Ocean's winter storms, but the new barrier seems to be working. It is in North Femantle, near the port, as the name implies. It's a great place to see the sun set in the West.

Took myself on Rottnest ferry after being picked up in Scarborough Bch by courtesy bus.Included coffee & muffin while waiting to board.Staff were very friendly & views of coastline stunning.Had a tour booked & after arriving headed off to get tour under way. Although the train was under repair we boarded a mini bus & with excellent commentary we toured part of the island.Stopped for a picnic lunch then back onto bus to other side of island which included lighthouse tour & war history tour of the big guns & tunnels which protected Fremantle in the war.Great people excellent history info & got some great photos.Back onto bus & saw dolphins sea lions birds & Whales off the coast with photo ops.Ending in town had time for a cold one at bar on water before boarding ferry for return trip & courtesy bus back.Excellent day out highly recommend tour????Tks will return.The quotas are everywhere & don’t mind posing for a selfie.
