Perth · Where to Stay in Perth and Fremantle

Should I stay in Perth or Fremantle for my first visit?

I want easy access to Perth attractions, cafes, beaches and a Rottnest day trip. How should I compare the two bases before booking a summer stay?

    Choose Perth if most of your days focus on the CBD, cultural venues and trips that begin there. Choose Fremantle if its streets, markets, dining and nearby coast are the main draw. Compare actual accommodation prices for your dates rather than assuming either area is always cheaper.
