At
the end of a wharf, these attractive, two-storey, sandstone and brick one- to three-bedroom

car park to the Fishing Boat Harbour, while the others directly front the marina. Down-
stairs, rooms are light and simple, and kitchens are fully equipped.

; 9 John St; apt from $320; )
Pier 21 is in a tucked-away
spot on the riverside in North Freo. It's more like a motel than you'd expect for the price,
but there's a tennis court, pool and spa.

Eating
Although it doesn't have Perth's variety of fine-dining places (or, thankfully, its prices),
eating and drinking your way around town are two of the great pleasures of Freo. The
main areas to browse before you graze are around the town centre, Fishing Boat Harbour
and East Freo's George St and riverbank. People-watching from outdoor tables on South
Tce is a legitimate lifestyle choice. The Fremantle Markets are a good place to stock up on
fruit and other picnic items.
