🇦🇺 Why Staying in Fremantle is a Perth Travel Hack!

Before my WA trip, I read that Fremantle was a "must-see"—but this historic port town (with its 200-year-old streets and vintage charm) ended up being the perfect base for our Perth adventures! 🏡 Our Stay Airbnb on Suffolk St. with FREE parking 🚗💨 Secure key-access apartment (felt super safe!) By night, the streets empty out—just a nostalgic arcade and a few ice cream queues 🍦✨ 🚢 Key Perks 5-min drive to Rottnest Island ferries (vs. 1hr from Perth!) ⛴️ Swan River estuary location = easy drives to: Perth CBD (30min) Cottesloe/Coogee beaches (20min) 🏖️ Late-night IGA supermarket for snacks & essentials 🛒 🍽️ Food Notes Bread in Common (Jay Chou’s fave! 🎤) Cassia (top local eats) ⚠️ Asian food here = hit or miss (stick to Aussie/European!) 🎪 Markets & Vibe Weekend markets are tiny but lively (go for the atmosphere, not shopping). Prison-turned-hostel, maritime museums, and sunset fish & chips by the docks 🏛️🐟 Verdict: Fremantle blends convenience + old-world charm—perfect for explorers who want history by day, peace by night! #PerthTravelTips #FremantleLiving #WestAustralia #HiddenGems #NoTouristTraps #SlowTravelWA 🌊🔑
