Located just three blocks from South Beach and a short stroll from Fremantle, The Painted Fish boasts sustainable accommodation in a beautiful seaside garden.

Three uniquely "Freo" dwellings, set amongst air cooling ponds and organic vegetable gardens offer guests the perfect setting for relaxation and contemplation; an oasis within a stone's throw of the excitement of Fremantle.

Sustainability is a focus at The Painted Fish. Guests will experience developments such as photovoltaics, rain water harvesting, and innovative heating and cooling systems in a series of climatically sensitive, retrofitted dwellings. .

The property is also a living gallery, with many local artists providing soft furnishings, sculpture and paintings.

Come and enjoy!

A recent guest commented - "My wife and I could not fault The Painted Fish as a perfect place to access all of Fremantle's many attractions from the seclusion of the beach hideaway. The owners are simply the best hosts I have met and made us feel very welcome. The gardens give a polished organic feel to this charming resort of living sculpted brilliance. We hope to stay again!"

Locality

The Painted Fish is three blocks from popular South Beach, and a quiet stroll to Fremantle. Many restaurants, cafes, art galleries and shops are a quick walk from your room. Regular public transport, or our free bicycles make it easy to get to Freo.
