A true Sanctuary
A spacious and peaceful haven in the midst of South Freo. We really enjoyed our week here. The house has everything you could want. Loads of places to eat and drink within easy walking distance. One minor downside is the parking - very small space around the corner from the entrance to the property. However there is loads of on-street parking as well.

Sanctuary well named
Well documented, lived up to its reviews, lots to love. Only complaint that the aircon is not able to cope with the climate and the fan is noisy. The bed is situated under the eaves so hot air gets trapped. We moved the bed to increase airflow so that improved the situation a little.

Relaxing stay at the Sanctuary
What a wonderful space. Tucked away from the world while being right in the heart of everything. Spotlessly clean. Super comfortable. Gorgeous outlook to the back garden. We extended our stay and would come back anytime!

Freo Charm
Fantastic location, beautifully presented, all amenities you could possibly need, comfortable bed, amazing giant spa bath (think Pretty Woman) and great communication with owner. Downside for us was no curtains in the bedroom and the bathroom was downstairs, while your bedroom and clothes were upstairs, a mirror upstairs would be beneficial. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay :)

Perfect and that little bit different
The Studio is exactly as presented on Stayz. Love the furnishings, style and innovative design. The loft bedroom is perfect for a couple or single. The bathroom is downstairs and it’s best to leave a light on if getting up in the night is required. Love the sheets, one thing missing a face washer. The side light would be good if it came on earlier as you enter. The location is fabulous, we love south freo and it’s a nice walk to Fremantle. The courtyard makes the outlook very relaxing. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Really well appointed apartment. Right in the best part of Fremantle. Close to restaurants, cafes and the beach all in walking distance. Lovely and quiet with outdoor seating to enjoy the lovely fresh ocean air. I would highly recommend this apartment to all my friends.
