BEACHFRONT SETTING
A modern and contemporary, boutique hotel in the heart of Fremantle, The Hougoumont is ultimately luxurious.
Beginning at the beginning, the Hougoumont Hotel was named after a famous and infamous, three masted, ocean-going sailing ship – built in the 1850s and one of the last to bring convicts from Plymouth to Port Adelaide. Make the Hougoumont a destination on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Australia and you’ll find the hotel also stands in a historic part of town; the famed Banister Street. Old though the walls of the hotel undoubtedly are, you’ll find that the internal appointments – as well as the thinking behind the hotel – are decidedly modern. Rather than superfluous space and fripperies, the Hougoumont concentrates on style, chic interior décor, state-of-the-art connectivity and, of course, a central setting that means the reasons you’re visiting Fremantle are just a few minutes walk away.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
