Originally a corner store, the space has been stylishly repurposed into a one bedroom apartment for holidaymakers to relax and enjoy their stay. Located close to the lively Wray Avenue precinct the apartment offers a quiet retreat just a fifteen minute stroll to the hustle & bustle of the port city of Fremantle.
The apartment is entered from Edmund Street through a garden gate. The gate leads to the french doors and a small but charming garden and courtyard. Both the garden and the apartment provide a cosy and private space. Choose between a cosy garden nook to read or enjoy a tea/coffee break or have a BBQ in the courtyard. The accommodation is best suited to couples, a single visitor or family with one small child.
For those that love the ocean Fremantle Sailing Club and South Beach are a 10-15 minute walk away.
The neighbourhood
Our house is located in Fremantle, Western Australia. Fremantle blends the old with the new in its intriguing pedestrian-friendly cityscape where you can explore maritime, convict and colonial history in one of the best preserved examples of a 19th century port, while buzzing markets, lively bars and casual street cafes offer something for every taste and budget.
The bustling Cappuccino Strip and South Terrace is at your doorstep and there is always a festival, an art exhibition, a theatrical performance or a comedy show to enliven your stay. But make sure you indulge yourself with the shopping, dazzling beaches and vibrant nightlife as well.
Fremantle is famous for the Fremantle Doctor, a cooling afternoon sea breeze that takes the edge off the hottest day and provides consistent wind for offshore racing. Crewing on a keel boat at the local yacht club is readily available for the more adventurous.
Getting around
Our house is located at the top of Wray Avenue close to South Terrace bars and restaurants as well as the port city. There are buses available from South Street and Edmund Street into Fremantle - there are some printed schedules kept in the handbook - however timetables vary so please do check online. The railway line provides a quick link to the city of Perth or you can book a leisurely scenic cruise on the Swan River, either one way or return, if you prefer. Two of the best ways to enjoy the historic port city and explore its culture and heritage is by foot or bicycle.
Your key is located in a Key drop off box
We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of the apartment and your safety and enjoyment of the space is important to us therefore all door handles, switches and the key box will be wiped with methylated spirits in addition to general cleaning products between stays.
Your hosts Karen & Clive live in the adjoining house and are readily available should you need assistance. Some guests like to say hello and you are welcome to do so but it’s not expected.
In the spirit of the Vbro community cleaning costs have been kept to an absolute minimum. This is only possible by asking guests to do their dishes and leave the space tidy prior to departure.
Please note: It is our experience that the property is not well suited to more than 3 adults or families with more than one child (with the. exception of a baby)
