Having evolved since its indigenous and colonial era beginnings, Fremantle is a cultural center worth exploring today, with a wide range of dining experiences, an alfresco dining culture, some of the country’s largest fish and chip shops, and even hosting the Fremantle Festival, Australia’s longest-running community festival.

8. Cool house
Whimsy is the catchphrase of the 19th-century Cool house, the former abode of Fremantle iconic artist Rebecca Cool. If you appreciate the quirky and the avant-garde, head to the Cool house!

The four homely bedrooms and two bathrooms are adequately furnished, with the fourth bedroom opening to the rear garden. The front porch, alfresco dining area, larger-than-life abstract artwork, colorful chandeliers, brick fireplace, muralled walls, and vintage mirrors and coat racks are what make the Cool house so singularly exceptional. Located on McLaren street in South Fremantle and a stone’s throw from the beach, this heritage-listed timber worker’s Stayz Fremantle cottage makes for an exceptional stay!
