Welcome to the Maisonette
This is a fully self-contained, artfully decorated small house with a private entry and garden. It is a guest favourite in the 2025 Tourism Award Winning City of Fremantle. Across the road from a park, with shops and cafes just a short walk away, the property offers the stillness of suburban life whilst not being far away from a thriving, beautiful city.
Uniquely designed to be cosy, practical, and beautiful, the Maisonette has been treating guests to incredible experiences for years. It is perfect for short and medium term stays, an ideal space for couples and small families seeking a cosy space close to Fremantle, and an asset to artists and writers needing time away to create.
In Fremantle’s creative heart
Located in the leafy suburbs of Fremantle, the Maisonette sits on the doorstep of a thriving hotspot of culture and creativity. Fremantle is the home of Fremantle Arts Centre, Kidogo Art House, a brand new City Library and live music venues such as Mojos and Freo Social, as well as numerous galleries and shops. The city and surrounding suburbs host a vast number of artists and creatives who often find inspiration by the local beaches and in bush walks around the nearby Derbarl Yerrigan or Swan River and the unique Beeliar Wetlands.
Ideal for artists
The purpose of the maisonette, apart from regular stays, is also to provide artists a space to create. A short stay at The Maisonette will have you inspired and able to work in peace, while remaining close to the creative hub that is Fremantle.
With the hosts’ combined experience in the creative arts, the maisonette is a perfect incubator for your project, with encouraging hosts and a creative community never far away.
