UNBEATABLE LOCATION: Villa is directly on the River Waterfront with uninterrupted views of the River. Great swimming in calm waters of the Swan River in Rocky Bay, directly in front of the villa - river water is very fresh here as the villa is near Freo & the Ocean, plus 3 minute walk to calm waters of LEIGHTON BEACH – with glorious daily sunset views from the beach out over the Indian Ocean.
10 minute walk to North Fremantle's "hipster foodie enclave" - as recently described in the national newspaper.

Stay in the absolutely best location in FREMANTLE -announced as one of the "Top 10" Cities in the World to visit, according to Lonely Planet! -plus walk down to 2 of the "Top 5" Fremantle "foodie" hot spots! - as recently listed in the national newspaper.


FEATURES OF THE VILLA FOR GUESTS:
The entire ground level of the Property is for Guest's personal use, which comprises a fully self-contained, very large apartment.
With a private Guest entry, dedicated parking and being fully self-contained, this is reflected in the classification by Stayz/VRBO of the Villa apartment home-stay as “Entire Home”.

This includes the following: In the Front, river-facing, section of the Ground level:
-Huge Master Lounge Room (40 m2) with couches seating 6 people, looking out onto the River
-Adjoining 10-seat Formal Dining area overlooking the River plus separate Breakfast Bar with River views
-Monster sized, fully-equipped gourmet Kitchen with full-size separate Fridge & Freezer. The kitchen is fabulous and huge - a chef’s delight! -Includes gas hotplate, electric oven, twin fridge/freezer combo, island & a new dishwasher. Plus an Adjacent Laundry with new washing machine and dryer.

PLUS: In the Rear section of the Ground level in a very quiet space:
-Master Bedroom with Queen size bed & 3-door Built in Robe
-2nd Bedroom with Queen Bed and Baby Cot
-3rd Bedroom with Double Bed
-Bathroom with vanity, shower & bath
-Separate Private WC/Powder Toilet Room with hand-basin.
(“1.5 bathrooms” under rental home descriptions)
The Master Bedroom and 2nd Bedroom are linked to each other, which works well for parents with younger children. The Master Bedroom is accessed via either the 2nd Bedroom or via the Bathroom.
The 3rd Bedroom can be opened up to embrace the river views!



OUTDOOR LIVING: Guests will also have use of a monster-sized Balcony on the 1st Floor (1 level above the Ground Floor) directly overlooking the River - 11m wide, 4m high, offering totally unobstructed River views. Outdoor Table & Chairs are ready on your private Balcony approx 30m above the River itself - the feeling is amazing being so high, yet private! Your Balcony can be accessed directly from the kitchen – so indoor/outdoor living is super easy.
Apart from the massive balcony, there also 2 separate outdoor courtyards that both flow indoors/outdoors via bi-fold doors from the home’s main living areas.
The super-large main courtyard faces the river and has an outdoor dining setting for 8 persons. The very private side courtyard faces north for the winter sun

LOCALITY: In a private cul-de-sac with almost no car traffic – just local residents. Small " Village" setting of only approx 40 homes in an exclusive enclave, all homes are similar, multiple-level private residences. Private access via locked gates with a high Boundary Wall around entire property. Super quiet, super peaceful – add on to this the River setting, & its feels like you are in Margaret River, WA - or on the Mediterranean Coast!

ACCESS: You really don't need a car! 3 minute drive, or 5 minute bus, to the heart of FREMANTLE & the Shopping, Entertainment & Café Strip there -or also the same time to COTTESLOE Beach & all its activities. Plus a 2 minute walk to regular “circle-route” BUS Stop on Stirling Hwy. 7 minute walk to North Fremantle TRAIN Station – direct to PERTH CBD in 20 minutes, or to the heart of Fremantle in 2 minutes, just 1-stop.
The Home environment is very private & super relaxed, given the location.

PERSONAL:
My Partner & I live "part-time" on the 3rd level of the Villa. We also have another personal residence in Perth where we live most of the time. When we are in the Fremantle home, we are 2 levels above Guests who are on the Ground level, thus providing genuine privacy for Guests. The middle level acts as a “buffer zone”. There are professional quality sound barriers between the levels to provide for full privacy and comfort.
Guests also have their own separate, private entrance to the Home, and with dedicated Guest parking, there is absolutely no intrusion on Guests.
Confirming that there are no shared common areas in the home and there will only be one guest group in the home. The Guest’s facilities in the ground floor Villa apartment are private and complete, making for a fully “self-contained, home-stay”, with private entry and dedicated parking. This is reflected in the classification by Stayz/VRBO of the Villa apartment home-stay as “Entire Home”.

Welcome! :)
PS - I would be delighted to help you in planning your trip -destinations, transport, local insights, etc, best regards, Justin

river views remarkable
My husband and I spent an enjoyable 2 months at Justin’s Architectural Villa. A great place for a couple doing business or for pleasure. We had record temperatures during our stay so it got hot (even with the air con) as there are no window coverings. The view of the river and its activity (including dolphins playing) was a highlight. We also enjoyed our daily walks along the extensive walking/bike paths and swims at Leighton Beach. The train was a short walk away and we found the residential neighbourhood very quiet.

What a rejuvenating place to stay.
I chose this property to ‘Reset’ and to relax for a month. Not only could I have more than 180 degree views of the Swan River from the massive (huge) balcony - I could also walk to the beach and or just pop into Fremantle. The best part for me was feeling secure and safe - neighbours were the best. Also - Yoga in the secluded garden was my cup of tea and daily medicine. Thanks Justin, you were a great host!!!!

What a fabulous property, so spacious and the location and view was one of the best. We have 2 small children and everything we needed was there at the property. Plus the playground round the corner was a perfect addition. Justin was so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Fantastic Freo!
Fantastic stay with amazing views of the Swan River at your doorstep. The location has great parks and walkways and is situated close to Freo and only a short drive to Perth. Justin was very friendly and helpful in all areas and provided great local tips on restaurants and tourist attractions. Would definitely book again in the future.

Stunning view
Wow what a stunning view of the swan river, next to a walkway/bicycle track which leads to Freo or Perth. Easy walk to coffee shops & fabulous restaurants with beach views & setting sun! (With Justin’s fantastic recommendations). Very spacious kitchen & lounge (Loved the well stocked pantry) Netflix a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our morning coffee on the verandah watching the movements on the swan. Justin is full of information and happy to help with things to see and do!
