Why Tradewinds Is Ideal for a Fremantle Staycation
A relaxed Fremantle staycation with river views, dining and easy escapes.
What makes a staycation better than travelling far away
One of the biggest advantages of a staycation is how effortless it feels. There’s no packing stress or travel fatigue, and you can start unwinding the moment you check in. Staying local also means more flexibility. You can sleep in, enjoy long meals, head out for a walk along the river or through Freo and return whenever you like.
A Fremantle staycation lets you treat yourself in ways that matter. Whether it’s a better room, an extra night or lingering over dinner and drinks, staying close to home makes indulgence feel simple and unhurried.
Staycation ideas for couples, families and solo visitors
Tradewinds Hotel suits a wide range of staycation styles, making it easy to plan a break that fits how you want to relax.
Couples love the calm, riverside atmosphere. Enjoy a relaxed dinner overlooking the water, retreat to your room for a quiet night in, then make the most of a late checkout the next day. Suites with generous space and luxurious bathrooms add an extra layer of comfort for a romantic escape.
Families benefit from spacious rooms and apartments, on site dining and thoughtful extras that make travelling together easier. With the pool on hand and Fremantle’s attractions just minutes away, it’s simple to keep everyone entertained without over planning.
Solo travellers can truly switch off. Start the day with a riverside walk, enjoy breakfast at your own pace, then spend the afternoon reading, swimming or exploring Fremantle’s quieter streets. Tradewinds’ relaxed setting makes it easy to recharge.
On-site dining. The ultimate convenience.
Deciding where to eat and drink while you’re travelling can often be overwhelming – endlessly scrolling through a list of saved places, navigating opening hours and trying to secure a booking once you’ve finally settled on the perfect place.
Skip the stress and join us in the Beer Garden and Restaurant, open daily from 7.00am. Known for its seasonal menus, WA sourced ingredients and uninterrupted river views, it’s a well-loved spot for locals and visitors alike.
The open air courtyard is perfect for long lunches and sunset drinks, while the indoor dining room offers a cosy option for smaller gatherings. The bar features local craft beers, WA wines and classic cocktails, making it just as appealing for a casual drink as it is for dinner.
Best of all, it’s right downstairs, so once you’ve settled in, there’s no need to go anywhere else unless you want to.
Make the most of your time in Freo
Staying with us gives you the best of both worlds. You’re close to Fremantle’s centre, markets, museums and waterfront, while enjoying a quieter base to return to at the end of the day.
Take a stroll along the Swan River, browse George Street’s cafés and boutiques, or head into Fremantle to explore its galleries and heritage sites. After a day out, the calm riverside setting of Tradewinds feels like a welcome retreat.
