Guest Reviews

• Holly (10/5): amazing stay! close to everything amazing - beautiful property! everything that you needed was there. great location nothing
• Tony (10/5): A great experience staying at federal apartments. We’d just come back from a drive up the coast for 8 days, so a perfect - Great attention to detail with the decor and overall quality of this property. Great beds, great sofa and great facilities. Great location in South Beach area of Fremantle. A fantastically located property just set back from an abundance of eateries to suit all needs. The lawns and beach a stones throw away. A high level bakery opposite if you don’t fancy self catering the odd morning. Great coffee and baked bits. Bacon and egg bap were our staple. All in all would highly recommend this property, the staff were very professional when talking to them, nothing was a problem to them. Liam was especially helpful and a credit to the business. Will defo be back to stay at the federal apartments. Nothing to not like.
• Jennifer (7/5): Short stay overnight, seemed to be someone’s home. She should remove the folder with her bank statem - There were no teabags, no milk and no tissues
• Stephen (9/5): Very nice spot - Great facilities Poor communication
• Sven Hubner (9/5): Hippes Strandviertel - Das App. ist geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Einen Balkon gibt es leider nicht. Gute Lage, nur einige Minuten zum Strand. Die Lokale sind in unmittelbarer Umgebung. und trotzdem ist es sehr ruhig.
• Beverley (10/5): - Fantastic location, clean & well laid out, good size. I felt very safe there! Nothing! But the restaurant voucher was out of date ;)
• Paul (8/5): Super, gerne wieder. - Die Lage war perfekt, um Fremantle und auch die Gegend rund um Perth zu erkunden. Die Küchenausstattung war zwar gut, doch hat ein Kochherd gefehlt.
• Joe (9/5): The apartment was beautifully presented. Modern and super clean, we could not fault it - The apartment was beautifully presented. Modern and super clean, we could not fault it Nothing
• Phillippa (2/5): Accommodation ok, security not - Good location Rented loft and 1st floor apartment, to get out of the common area in a fire you have to use a key which is a fire hazard and with no opening window more than a few cms in the loft its the only exit. This issue was also raised by someone in May 2024. On messaging the host through the website I received a call from the owner and was verbally abused who threatened to drag me out and was told to go back to F***in NSW, I hung up and he called back for more! We were only given one key for level 1 for 4 people which would have been another issue in a fire! On returning to the apartment a friend of the host came over requesting the only copy of the key to get some cut, I refused to give the only key to this stranger and got 3 cut myself (receipt given and not reimbursed at time of writing). My issue with this place is the lock, whilst at the locksmith I viewed a barrel that can be fitted to the lock costing $250, problem solved for the inner door. We spent the whole stay not locking 2 outer ground floor doors at night and asking any other ground floor residents not to lock them too. From google: In Western Australia, fire safety regulations regarding deadlocks on exits prioritize the ability to evacuate immediately without a key, particularly for commercial, public, and multi-residential buildings. Using a double-cylinder deadlock (requiring a key to unlock from the inside) on a required fire exit is generally illegal and a severe safety risk. It’s not just about our stay, but all future occupants! It’s a simple fix to save lives! The owner abuse was very bad and witnessed by others!
• Christine (6/5): -
• Chloe (10/5): -
• Grace (9/5): Excellent - Stayed in the loft and it was fantastic. Just like the photos, lovely and modern, clean, had everything we needed. Great location close to beach and restaurants. Very small thing but pillows were so hard we didn’t use them and no alternative.
• Shaley (10/5): -
• Joanne (10/5): Loved it and would highly recommend - Clean, modern, well equipped and in a great location with access on great transport to all places we wanted to visit.
• Pia (10/5): Would absolutely stay there again - It was stunning. Very large and stylish and very clean. Nothing
• Joanne (10/5): Great stay - Clean and comfortable Nothing
• HSY (7/5): - Clean, good location, good amenities. Ground level apartment didnt have block out blinds, so privacy was a concern to communal courtyard. Only 2 car parks, and the rest of the street is permit parking, yet 4 apartments.
• Michael (7/5): Great location, very relaxing. - Great location, fabulous outdoor area. Off street parking was very convenient Pillows were very soft and lumpy.
• Wendy (10/5): Beautifully bright and well designed layout allowing privacy for both bedrooms - Spacious and fabulously big comfy sofa to enjoy the tv Lots of locks to access the property
• Andrea (8/5): - Nice and open great location.
• Leisa (10/5): Perfect location for a relaxing weekend near the beach and Freo. - Super clean and comfortable apartment, close to the beach and around the corner from awesome breakfast, lunch and dinner places. Nothing
• Paige (7/5): It’s nice if you want somewhere inland from beach - It was fairly clean, lots of spots missed in cleaning. The balcony was highlight At night there is a screeching sound above the back bedroom it’s an absolute nightmare hardly got any sleep & the pillows are absolutely dreadful they are all separating inside so they aren’t comfortable at all.
• Louise (10/5): Everything was fantastic, wish we could have stayed longer - Location was fantastic, close to beach and restaurants
• Joanne (9/5): Great apartment , fab location, very clean, modern amenities - Clean, spacious, location, washing machine Soft mattress , no blackout blinds in bedroom
• Anneli (10/5): -

• Suzanne (10/5): Perfect weekend - Beautiful property in a great location. Wish we had stayed longer.
• Natasha (10/5): Fantastic apartment, we wouldn’t stay any where else and we can wait to come back - We loved the location and the whole apartment was fabulous and roomy we wished we booked for longer! Nothing it was spot on
• Carolyn (10/5): Perfect accommodation in South Fremantle. - Great property in prime location. Very comfortable and well equipped. Parking is a challenge in the area. Limited parking available at the unit.
• Alison (8/5): Lovely comfortable unit close to beach and cafes - Comfortable No towel rails No tea towels.
• Mark (9/5): Lovely apartment - Spacious, modern, and clean. Well equipped apart from the ironing board. Staff helpful Air Conditioning was problematic. No ironing board as previous one had been damaged . There were branches of a tree outside the bedroom rubbing against the external cladding which interrupted sleep.
• Cecilie (10/5): -
• Shelley (9/5): Great place to explore Fremantle - The apartment was in a fabulous area…close to cafes, restaurants and bars.
• Debbie (8/5): - Nice clean apartment. Great location . We had loft apartment which was lovely but you have three flights of stairs and my knee are not good.
• Elisheva (9/5): Beautiful apartment - Beautiful apartment and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay here. Nothing
• George (7/5): George stay - Location perfect Thought we had booked the apartment with the balcony. Misleading adverts. Carrying our bags up the two flights of stairs wasn't great. Unable to contact anyone when power points failed. Contact made the day we left.
• Courtney (8/5): -
• Marlies (8/5): -
• Suzanne (9/5): - The apartment was large and clean and in a good location for South Fremantle facilities such as restaurants. Excellent bakery and coffee shop across the road, as well as a craft brewery. The only slight drawback was the noise of the music at the hotel next door.
• Lu (9/5): -
• Kirihini (9/5): -
• Lorna (10/5): Great apartment xx - Fabulous apartment and location so close to the amazing beach x
• David (1/5): RIPPED OFF! Worst bed - No WIFI - Location was great Bed smelt like vomit. The pillows were the worst pillow I’ve ever slept on, so old and worn, we actually went and purchased new pillow for ourselves. Absolutely no WIFI SIGNAL, and when we called the manager to ask about it on the first day, she said she would send someone over to look at it, and they never bothered. We specified this was a work trip and I had to go rent office space to get my work done. I feel ripped off!!!!
• Margaret (9/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): Absolutely amazing, property was clean and spacious. -
• Sandy (8/5): Great for a few days - Location was excellent. Close to the water and restaurants
• Sylvan (9/5): - Emplacement, calme, luminosité, propreté.
• Jodie (10/5): -
• Corina (10/5): Beautiful accommodation and great location - Everything about this place is beautiful No complaints at all
• Alan (8/5): -
• Monica (9/5): Clean tidy room, great location, sadly no guaranteed parking though. - Immaculate attic… loved it! Thought we were guaranteed parking but it wasn’t, which limited our movements because we then had to use Ubers out of fear of losing our car space. We tired to find the 3rd car bay they said they had via email (I photographed only 2 available spaces, I figure 3rd one is a locked garage), and the last 2 emails they didn’t reply to, to let us know if there was somewhere else the 3rd car bay lived. So that was extremely disappointing, no guaranteed car space and now a break down of communication. I very rarely leave displeasing reviews but this really messed up our plans, and made our holiday more costly due to Ubers, especially when I emailed them prior to coming and they said there was parking. I trusted. And I assumed that meant we were guaranteed it. However, if you don’t care about having guaranteed parking, our attic room was just gorgeous, comfortable and the location perfect to places to eat and to walk to South Beach.
• Peter (8/5): - Washing machine mattress could have been a bit better
• Gummery (9/5): Superb - Great location!!! Beautiful, spacious property.
• Greg (4/5): Despite the newness of the property and the good location, the managers of this property clearly don’t care about their - The location was excellent and the property was relatively new. Most things worked. The photos of the property were highly misleading - the ‘one bedroom’ we had booked was actually a studio, so there was no way to have any privacy. An email to the managers got no response. The phone number you could ring was one of those ‘press 1 for’ types, and did not list the apartments as an option. There was nowhere in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. The wifi signal was very weak. There were only two car spaces for 3 apartments, and you were encouraged to park in the hotel car park next door - not an option on a busy Friday night
• Alfaro (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place, clean and tidy. Close to beach and cafes/restaurants
• Martin (9/5): Superb -
• Clive (10/5): Great little apartment in the heart of South Fremantle. - Position is ideal to access the attractions of the vibrant South Fremantle strip. Parking is very conveniently located at the front entrance.
• Rae-john (10/5): Exceptional - Place was clean fresh and comfortable. Everything you need is in there
• Said (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Travis (8/5): Very good -
• Haydar (7/5): Good -
• Green (9/5): Superb - Everthing was mint except No tea towels
• Archipelago (8/5): Very good - central and good location to South freo/Freo less doors to enter, a bit tricky to get thru 4 locked doors to enter our suite, and key lock pads almost impossible to see the key code at night, especially with my old eyesight!!!! :-) other than that fantastic
• Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (9/5): Superb -
• James (8/5): It was great! - Location was excellent. Not being able to access the property on the scheduled check-in time.
• Zoe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katherine (10/5): Fab spot perfect location for beach and restaurants - Location Nothing
• Ostrander (10/5): Ideal urban vacation or work trip place to stay - This location is perfect. The neighborhood, the beach access, the cafes and restaurants are all right there and you can see the ocean from the top floor!
• Adrian (9/5): Superb -
• Emily (10/5): We had a wonderful stay. Thank you! - Clean, modern, quiet. Lovely stay. Maybe somewhere to hang towels in the bathroom would be useful
• Stefania (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. Went with friends. We had the downstairs apartment, they had the Loft. Our outdoor area was fantastic for us to catch up & relax. Fantastic weekend away
• Nicholas (10/5): Excellent, Clean, Family Friendly, well located. - Air conditioned, clean and family friendly. Communication was excellent. We also left an important item in the apartment when we checked out, and was able to make contact with the host. They ensured that the item was kept safe and we were able to pick up with ease.
• Christine (9/5): Excellent little spot in South Freo - walking distance to everything. Great little local shops. - Great location near lots of cafes and bakeries and little local shops. Sealanes and Running With Thieves very close by and excellent food and service. The apartment was clean and had everything you would need for a long stay. Tastefully decorated and a lovely bonus bottle of local wine and voucher for the Federal Hotel. The bedroom in the loft apartment needs some blinds or curtains on the big side triangle windows as it lets in a lot of light in the early morning. The rest of the apartment has plantation shutters which are great.. Apartment was quiet and comfortable despite being just a few minutes walk from the main strip in South Freo. Parking is limited with only 2 car spaces available on a first come first served basis. With the potential for 4 sets of guests, parking is definitely a bit of an issue.
• Ruth (10/5): A first visit to Fremantle - The position near the beach, restaurants and shops. The size & facilities were ideal for a couple. The outside area was lovely. Nothing to dislike.
• Mat (8/5): Very good -
• Colin (10/5): Nice sunnay and spacious apartment near beaches and restaurants. - Nice large and sunny apartment close to beaches and trendy South Freo restaurants and bars. On top floor, so can see sea over buildings. Very comfortable with good A/C.. Had not been to Perth/Fremantle before, so were guessing the best spot to stay - we liked South Fremantle and preferred it to the main area of the town - that was about 20 mins walk away (or there is a regular bus to get there).
• Brad (10/5): Outstanding accommodation, in a magnificent position..! - Terrific location. Nearby foodaries are awesome. Great vibe. The loft apartment was terrific. Well appointed. Great size and really comfortable. It’s not that it was a problem for me, but just be aware of 2 flights of stairs to get to the loft. Again, no issue for me, but could be for others.
• Mathew (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay, perfect all round No complaints at all
• Jason (8/5): Very good -
• Mitchell (10/5): This is a great accommodation for anyone wanting to see South Fremantle. - There was great food places around every corner of this accommodation. Highly recommend this place. The pillows were a little fluffy for our liking. If there was an option to use other pillows stored away that would have been handy.
• Gatsis (9/5): Superb - "I had a wonderful stay.. The space was impeccably clean and comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. It was perfectly located, just a short walk from cozy cafes and the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the local vibe. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway." There weren’t enough towels provided for the duration of my stay.
• Adriana (10/5): Excellent stay at South Freo. The nicest apartment. - Location was amazing, close to the beach and cafés. We loved the apartment. It seemed all brand-new and it was spotless. Very comfortable for our little fam of 3. Just that there were some weird noises that could be heard from the master bedroom. It was like someone was moving furniture, but not only at night, it was an ongoing problem. It could be heard loud and clear even from the bathroom. It wasn’t that bad though. We managed to sleep.
• Harriet (8/5): Very good - Fan value. Great location and nicely decorated apartment. Very quiet and dark bedrooms - good for kids! Nice range of children’s facilities too. Small things but one of the loo doors wouldn’t open, and the balcony door was stuck on arrival. I contacted the maintenance team who rectified the balcony door but not the toilet. No airer available as said in the description, and a coffee maker / fresh press would be a good edition to the kitchen.
• Randi (9/5): Affordable! This appt has everything u need and more. Perfect location too! - Great location- steps from cafes and few min walk from the beach. Beautiful apartment with everything you need, inc beach toys and snorkel sets. I can only fault one thing and that's the pillows on the beds. We found these uncomfortable. Also, the ensuite door lock is broken. We've been locked out and nearly locked in to the toilet too. This can easily be repaired.
• Smith (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and relaxing. - The 2 bed apartment was beautiful and spacious. Everything was just perfect and there wasn’t anything that I could fault. The apartment was very clean and the location is in a very nice neighbourhood with lots of bars and restaurants close by. The beaches are a few minutes walk away and Fremantle centre a 10 to 15 minute walk away. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it highly. Probably the nicest apartment I’ve ever stayed in. This apartment made our stay in Fremantle even better. It was the icing on the cake. Nothing.
• Jason (6/5): Great Building but feel like we missed the best it had to offer. Not all places here have sea views - I loved the place it was fantastic. Great and close to the dock at Fremantle. There were many things to like and it felt modern and very comfortable. It was close to some restaurants. Book these in advance to avoid disappointment. When I booked online on booking.com it stated a view of the ocean. We arrived well after our check-in time and had to contact a hotel for details on accessing the property. We opened our windows to see the view of the rear carpark of a restaurant. I left my wife and my family went to do some snorkeling at the Shipwreck. She was greeted by police in our absence at our door due to an incident upstairs and unfortunately she was unable to leave. Detectives attended the upstairs apartment which I assume had the ocean view. I contacted the property owner and they offered me a couple of drinks at the pub as compensation. Be sure to book the top level to avoid disappointment.
• Yanming (8/5): Very good - It’s a beautiful and well equipped property. It’s clean if you aren’t looking under the beds. There is plenty of storage and space. The property is well located. It is a property we would go back to again. Only 1 key was provided. More importantly, the key is required to unlock the gate, the main door and the unit door. This is potentially a safety issue as you would not be able to escape in an emergency if you do not have the key. We think it would have been better if the gate could be unlocked electronically with a push button and the main door had a latch to unlock in an emergency.
• Charles (9/5): Excellent except for the above and when we asked for anything there was a curt reply- no one has asked for this before - Proximity and comfort but seriously lacking in cooking facilities and not even a jug to make coffee in Lack of facilities for cooking- not even possible to cook pasta No bedside lamp
• Henare (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Everything was amazing except was notified would get information about obtaining keys priory to check in and didn’t so had to chase up myself
• Elizabeth (9/5): Pleasant stay awesome location - The location is great, walking distance to many bars pubs coffee shops and shopping Walk to South Beach South Fremantle such a hub of activity Great spot
• Pip (8/5): Stylish and comfortable but upmany stairs - Great complimentary wine, comfy bed and close to the beach and excellent coffee It was on the second floor, so there were two flights of stairs to navigate and I did not know when I booked
• Adam (10/5): Nice accomodation in a good location - The area is close to the beach, local restaurants and a supermarket. It is an easy flat walk into central Fremantle.
• Raylene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (10/5): Very comfortable to come back to after a day of work. - Excellent location. Nice and quiet.
• Kate (6/5): Fabulous location, lovely building. - Beautiful building with nice furniture, classy and elegant. Fantastic location. Everything was spotless clean. New appliances and attractive bowls etc. Fantastic property overall. 1) No bedside lights! Not convenient or cosy. 2) Lighting in the living area was harsh and not situated over where it was needed eg kitchen counter, sofas. Need some cosy lamps. 3) Air con living area didn’t work and couldn’t be fixed. It was disruptive and unsettling to have men I didn’t know in and out of the apartment over 2 days. I have some severe mental health issues and didn’t find the stay fully relaxing. 4) Toilet roll is hard to reach and fell onto the floor a few times. Putting it on the front of the cupboard might be an improvement.
• Denise (8/5): When booking your accommodation make sure you check which apartment you are booking. - The location was amazing I was not advised that the apartment was on the 3rd floor and the stairs were awful. I should have definitely been notified about the stairs.
