THREE DAYS IN
SOUTH FREO
DAY ONE
3pm check in
You've arrived in South Fremantle and what better way to celebrate than with a glass of wine.
Make your way to Madelena's Bar, an award-winning local favourite.
Madelena's upstairs offers an effortlessly refined space to unwind with a glass of wine and shared bites to ease into your holiday.
Follow it up with one of Western Australia's best dining experiences with the chef's menu and paired wines in the main restaurant downstairs.
Be sure to book ahead to secure a table, especially on weekends.
day two
9am
Good morning! After a well deserved sleep in, do as the locals do and head down to South Beach.
Fremantle's beaches are best enjoyed in the morning, when the wind is at its lowest and the water is calm.
In the warmer months, the famous red pontoon is out - a sure sign of summer!
After a dip, head to South Terrace for coffee and brekky.
Third Wheel Cafe is a short stroll from the sand, filled with locals enjoying their morning routine. Sandy feet and wet bathers welcome here!
12pm
You can't visit South Freo without trying one of the bagels at Staples.
This place draws the crowds and for good reason.
Pull up a spot in the sun and enjoy one of these holy bagels. The hardest part is choosing!
1pm
Time to walk off some of that food with a stroll down South Terrace browsing local boutiques.
Treat yourself to a new outfit at Ginger Morris, grab a gift for those back home (or yourself!) at Terrace Greenhouse, make your own jewellery at Izuba, get some new swimwear at Iridescent Sea or spoil the little person in your life with locally-designed children's wear at Sunny & Beau - just to name a few! There's plenty more down this buzzing strip to discover.
5.30pm
After shopping up a storm it's time to enjoy a cocktail or two - you're on holiday after all!
Make your way to La Cabana, a fun Mexican tapas bar with delicious cocktails and yummy food.
Grab a seat in the leafy outdoor courtyard to soak up the afternoon sun.
day three
7am
Rise and shine! Your trip to South Fremantle wouldn't be complete without a South Beach Sauna session.
The sauna has one of the best views in South Freo overlooking South Beach.
Enjoy some hot and cold therapy, working up a sweat in the sauna before jumping in the ocean.
The friendly folk here embrace the salty life - so you can run in out of the sauna for an ocean dip as many times as you like during your session.
8am
Time to treat yourself - you're on holidays right!
Head down to Wild Bakery to enjoy some delicious locally-made sweets and pastries.
Think fresh croissants, sweet danishes and decedent chocolate brownies. You won't be disappointed.
Look for the iconic yellow door and sunflowers inside a quaint Fremantle cottage. It's the sweetest way to end your stay in South Freo before checkout at 10am.
But don't worry, your next stay is only a few clicks away below.
