A Fremantle Treasure

We’ve just enjoyed a 5 day stay at Silver St Studio, Fremantle. Judy is a warm and hospitable host, and her accomodation is an aesthetic delight. The bed is comfy, every cooking utensil imaginable is present, her welcome pack is enormous and indicative of the care she takes in making guests feel comfortable. Great location. Great nearby coffee. Won’t say too much more as I’d like to keep this place secret! Totally recommend.

Our mini honeymoon

a quirky and cosy studio nestled away through a little hobbit door was perfect for our mini honeymoon. So many nooks and crannies to explore. We especially loved how the bed was situated and the outdoor bath on the balcony gave it a very romantic feel. The breakfast hamper and wine was a real treat and it was a bonus to have bikes available to ride around south fremantle. A three night stay just wasn't enough so we will be booking this studio again on our wedding anniversary.

Original, quirky, mystical, wonderful.

My husband and I along with our teenage daughter had a fabulous four nights at Silver Street and felt like we had stepped back in time in Paris or London. We were made to feel so welcome with the studio warm and cosy upon arrival, assistance with our luggage, a bottle of wine, chocolates and an enviable hamper of breakfast provisions including gluten free muesli, juice, fresh delicious fresh eggs, bacon, fresh fruits and bread. Although quirky there is still all the modern conveniences you might require. Not to mention the location just a stone's throw from great local cafes and within comfortable walking distance to the markets. We would love to come back again.....many thanks!

Exceptional and unique, we will be back !!

Our stay at Silver St Studio was superb! Judy went above and beyond to make our stay so special. From the moment we arrived to the incredible welcome basket, combined with the ambience of the studio and proximity to fabulous cafes, restaurants and shops, we felt like we were in a dream. Our stay was beyond expectations. Extremely comfy bed, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, everything you’ll need set amongst abundant creativity. An artist’s dream stay! The studio is so cosy, you’ll have to drag yourself away. Within walking distance of sightseeing attractions, museums and restaurants. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend! Thank you Judy for opening up your incredible Silver St Studio.

An eclectic beauty in South Freo!

We had a blissful 5 days at Silver Street Studio! Judy was the perfect host and met us on arrival to show us all the studio has to offer including outdoor secluded bath, meditation room, bikes for guest use, and other relaxing nooks and crannies! The “breakfast basket”was full of lots of fabulous food and the cakes for afternoon tea were a welcome sight after our journey with a cup of tea! The studio has lots of fascinating pieces of art, books and curios! My fave was the secluded walled garden through the hobbit door! I could “retreat” here for a year! South Freo is a must visit suburb for food, bars and beautiful varied shops not to mention the beautiful beaches! Highly recommend and We will return!

Nice historical building & location but not for long stays .

We stayed for 2 weeks which was too long for this type of rental . No dishwasher , no air conditioner in the bedroom only in the bathroom/ study where we set up their large fan to move cooler air to the other side of the upper level . We would have opened the windows to help airflow but there are no screens to keep the bugs out . All in all we loved the history but it needs to be set up a little differently , which could easily be achieved, and still keep its history. Great hosts & location. A huge welcome basket of wine , fruit, nuts, etc along with eggs , bacon , bread & milk , in the fridge , was so nice .

Hello Dean, thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that you enjoyed our hamper and the historical ambiance of the building. We will look into your issue regarding your management of the airflow, otherwise we are very happy with the current setup. I’m glad that you enjoyed your time in Fremantle.

Perfect honeymoon stay

We absolutely loved our stay at Silver Street Studio. The studio and gardens are very unique. We spent our stay browsing through the many books and looking at all the amazing art and antiques. No phones or technology needed. The best part of our stay was the huge food hamper of quality local products. Judy was a lovely host and quick to respond to our enquires. Looking forward to staying again for our wedding anniversary.

Top South Fremantle Location

We were greeted by Judy on arrival, with a welcome basket of wine, cheeses, etc. The location is perfect for an active couple. We used the bikes that are part of the studio rental to get to great fish stores, wine stores, butchers and grocery stores all within about 5 minutes. More importantly South Beach is also 5 minutes by bike

Judy was an excellent host, really good communication all the way through which made it super easy. A lively big hamper was left with brilliant delights, cheese, chocs and wine - lovely touch. Perfect location for getting to the market town, prison, cafes, b-shed to Rottnes island. I wont say much about the place because its perfect and full of little supprises. Thank you to Judy and Hugh.

Hands down best place to stay in Perth

As soon as we entered through the enchanted hobbit door we knew this was the place for us! We chose to stay at silver street studios for our wedding. It was magical and relaxing which was really important to me during the stressful getting ready hours. Our wedding photos are amazing and the subsequent nights stay was romantic and peaceful, you can truly forget about the outside world while you are here but at the same time are so close to the cafes, shops and restaurants that south Fremantle has to offer. Judy and Hugh are everything you could ask for in a host and more! We received a gorgeous hamper upon arrival which made us feel extra special. 6 stars!

Rustic Heaven

We really enjoyed our stay at Silver Street Studio. From the moment we walked through the lane and entered through the hobbit door we knew we were in for a treat. The rustic beams, textiles, wood smells and limestone walls were even better in real life than in the photos. We relaxed in the private little courtyard and locked out the world. It was so convenient to everything and we rode the bikes every day to explore the cafes and markets in Freo. A must-stay experience for people who like watching Grand Designs and love all things old, rustic and restored. Thanks again Judy and Hugh. We hope to stay again soon.
