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.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
