Perth & Fremantle holidays

Enjoy your Australia holidays away from the crowds

Add to travel planner

Perth is a laid-back city blissfully free from all the hustle and bustle of other big cities due to its remote yet stunning location. Perth is not as frequented by holidaymakers and backpackers due to its location thousands of miles away from the East coast crowds. It also experiences more days of sunshine than any other state capital and is home to pristine beaches, parklands and a great array of bars, restaurants and shops. Sophisticated and charming, it’s the ideal place for a quieter taste of an Australian city.

Just a 20 minute drive from Perth lies the vibrant port city of Fremantle. With a working port, picturesque historical buildings and a fascinating history, it has a charm all of its own.

With Kuoni, stay at one of the best Perth & Fremantle hotels.
