What travelers are saying
- Phil HGeelong, Australia54 contributionsWe enjoyed our night tour of the Fremantle Prison. Wish we had time to do the full tour and hopefully come back some day to do the tunnel tour.Written 3 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Phil HGeelong, Australia54 contributionsWe both enjoyed the maritime museum and its very informative displays. Would be great to be able to go onboard one of the sailing ships to have a look around as we have never been on one. Next visit we will prebook the submarine tour and hopefully the weather will be in our favour.Written 3 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Nanette S7 contributionsTravelled there on the free CAT bus from the railway station. Museum was free but have a donation box for gold coins. Very interesting collection and well written history of all the wrecks off the coast of WA. They do free tours at 10.30am and 2.30pm daily. They have the original timbers of the Batavia and you can look down onto stern of the Batavia and see what life onboard was like from the observation deck.Written 22 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- BenMelbourne, Australia1 contributionVery comprehensive, engaging & attentive staff.
The armoured component of the exhibits was fantastic to see. Great that they can preserve that piece of history.Written 3 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - gfsc5Perth, Australia1,275 contributionsTricky to rate because it's a lovely complex, beautifully restored, but a bit haphazard as far as letting visitors know what there is without having to constantly ask. That is, signage isn't the best.
There's a nice shaded lawn area, there's a café and a craft-type shop, art galleries, and a smallish bookshop.
If you visit, serendipity may be your friend.Written 4 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - M. HodgeePerth, Australia2 contributionsNice renovation

- PARIS522Eastbourne, UK1,879 contributionsA completely different exhibition to when I was here last year.
A fun exhibition, in parts introducing new objects into famous paintings.
I enjoyed.Written 28 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - burnsbeachbabyBurns Beach, Australia623 contributionsHave a look, this is a barracks built before WW2, walk the beach and enjoy the surrounds, just out of town.Written 8 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Sharon TPerth, Australia73 contributionsThey were particularly in awe of the antique artefacts, weird looking beds, that there's a very deep well in the house itself ... shocked that there is no microwave oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher or television ... lost for words at how clothes are 'stabbed' and 'stirred' for washing and then put through a mangle to squeeze water out of them ... puzzled that the very first car looked more like a tram. Our tour guide Joy was awesome and provided so much info. They had a fun day learning about the Samson family and their way of living.Written 28 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Skeney57Sydney, Australia21,349 contributionsWe spent more time conversing with the Island volunteer then looking at the small exhibition on display. He was a fount of information & loved his job. As an original building it's still worth a quick look and the displays change on a regular basis.Written 13 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- purplepeppercornPerth, Australia72 contributionsBeautifully designed and delightful front area open to public with water features, path and plants; gallery open on weekends but you can peek when it is closed.Written 15 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kim SGreater Melbourne, Australia69 contributionsGreg does outstanding work and it is a real pleasure to wander around his studio and view his amazing works. We were lucky enough to have a chat with him from the stairs as he worked in his workshop. If you like art, you will like this place.Written 21 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Douglas W1 contributionThis gallery is in the home of the owners and was very warm and welcoming. There was a wonderful selection of painting works to choose from and we spent quite a long time looking around at the exhibits. Anna and Arthur were very professional, friendly and helpful and provided excellent assistance answering all our questions. Having lived extensively in remote Australia we were reasonably well versed in the indigenous culture and their original works are excellent. A unique place well worth the visit. Thank you.Written 21 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
