Sarina's Guidebook
Small Bar
This is the new way to experience Fremantle's heritage in an intimate cafe.
A small corner bar built into the ground floor of one of the Warders Cotteges. Step back in time to recall a classic little gin and apertivo bar. On the door step of Freo's famous markets. Start your day off with a fresh, delicious breakfast from our kitchen before exploring the city or enjoy the parisian atmosphere in the heritage surrounds for pre dinner drinks.
The Warders’ Cottages were built in 1851. The history of the site is scattered around the site on plaques and historic signage. More information about Fremantle’s Prison History can be found at the Fremantle Prison Museum.

The Fremantle Roundhouse is the oldest public building in the state of Western Australia. Opened in January 1831, it was built to hold any person convicted of a crime in the settlement until 1886. Since then it’s been a Police Lock up, accommodation for the Water Police, and a storage facility for the Fremantle Ports. Today it’s a popular historical tourist attraction, with sweeping views over the city, Fishing Boat Harbour and the Indian Ocean. The Fremantle Roundhouse is open between 10.30am and 3.30pm every day except Christmas Day and Good Friday. The ‘Fremantle Volunteer Heritage Guides’ office is also manned every week day between 10am and 3.30pm. The cannon is fired daily at 1pm. If you attend you may even be able to trigger the shot!

Kenny McHardy has serious credentials. His career includes stints at London’s two-Michelin-star mainstay Petrus, Walter’s Wine bar in Melbourne and Due South in Albany. With Manuka Woodfire Kitchen, his first solo venture, the Kiwi is literally playing with fire.
McHardy works his tiny kitchen alone, using the wood-fired oven for everything from bread and pizza to vegetables and meat. Away from the oven he’s fermenting more than just his bread dough – vegetables bolster the pantry stocks.
The menu consists of just a few dishes each day because McHardy’s approach is to mine the seasonal possibilities of Western Australia by creating relationships with producers, whether they’re growers, or makers of wine, cider and beer.

Experience Freo by bike
You can leave your car behind and walk just about anywhere in downtown Fremantle,the West End and the port area; however why not hire a bike to still feel part of the scenery as well as get A to B in no time. There are many places to hire traditional and e-bikes - in fact there is a bike hire shop a few metres away on Point Street
