Don’t leave the kids behind: How to enjoy Fremantle pubs with the whole family

Just because you have kids, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on an ice-cold pint on a hot summer’s afternoon.

Come and discover a space where everyone can relax, with the best atmosphere and drinks that Freo pubs have to offer. The Tradewinds Hotel is a boutique hotel and restaurant that’s among Fremantle’s favourite family-friendly venues.

Situated right on the river, we’ve created a laid-back, welcoming environment for everyone, with unique experiences (and exquisite food) for adults and kids alike.

A truly family-friendly venue

We know that kids can have their own—shall we say—preferences, when it comes to meal times. So to help you make lunch and dinner a breeze, we’ve created a special menu that delivers kid-friendly dining.

Our special Kids’ Menu features all their favourites. From a classic cheeseburger, or spaghetti and meatballs, to fish and chips. And, of course, a selection of desserts to top it all off (we reckon you can’t beat the chocolate sundae served in a waffle cone). It’s sure to keep them entertained while you tuck into decidedly more adult fare, like our seafood grazing platter, beef carpaccio, or grilled Atlantic salmon.

There are plenty of activities to keep them occupied, too. Discover our selection of extra-large garden games, which they can get creative on the lawn. Our kid-friendly pool is just made for long, lazy afternoons splashing around playing Marco Polo, or trying to get your attention as they do their 23rd handstand in the shallow end.

And our rooms are perfect for families. Particularly our two-bedroom apartments, with spacious bedrooms that give you all the room you need on your own—while the kids have their own private space to experience the joy of hotel living, the only way kids know how.

Explore the charm of Fremantle with the kids in tow

Take a trip into the heart of Fremantle as a family, and discover your inner child.

Explore the bustling, crowded Fremantle Markets. Duck into the mysterious toy stores, sample Morish Nuts, or dig around and buy the most ridiculous-looking candy bar you can find at the Fremantle Candy Store.

Be prepared to get a little spooky at the Fremantle Prison. Take a tour of the prison, and learn about how it operated— or if you dare, descend into the darkness of the tunnel tour, and learn all about the even creepier underside, shrouded in the shadows.

Or keep things light, and spend the afternoon at the Esplanade Park. Enjoy a family picnic on the grass, or run around and let off steam at the playground as the sun drops down to the horizon.

For something a bit different, see the city from a bird’s eye view in a tilt around the Fremantle Tourist Wheel. Or immerse yourself in Fremantle’s seafaring history at the Maritime Museum.

Sunday morning made easy

At Tradewinds Hotel, we love to have the family come together and celebrate. So on one Sunday a month (you can see the exact dates here!), we host a special Family Brunch from 12pm to 3pm.

It’s made for busy families like yours. We’ll take care of entertaining the kids, while you sit back, relax, and indulge in bubbles, cocktails, and a spread of mouthwatering food options.

For the kids, they can get their hands dirty in a range of art and craft activities. A kids’ entertainer keeps the fun going, and there are kids’ movies playing on the big screen (but far enough away so you don’t have to watch them). There’s also a $15 all-you-can-eat buffet, so they can pick and choose to their heart’s content.

For the adults, we’ve got you covered too. You can take it easy in our relaxed riverside bar setting, with $12 cocktail and champagne specials. Choose from our special a la carte menu, while you soak up the sounds of some of Fremantle’s best live music all afternoon.

Discover one of the best Freo pubs where the whole family is welcome
