Our story
The Old Fire Station Backpackers in Fremantle is the perfect hostel to mix with international travelers, make new friends and begin (or continue) your Australian adventure.
The Fremantle train station is only a 3-minute walk away; it’s a short stroll to the beach and there’s easy access to the best of Freo and Perth.
If you want to chill or to party, there’s plenty of space at the OFS and look how each dorm is decorated in a unique and colourful way. It is so good here that guests keep coming back year after year; some even stay on, as staff.
