10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Rottnest Island

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."

"You simply cannot visit Perth without taking a trip to Fremantle in the outskirts of the city, where you will find one of Western Australia’s best microbreweries. The building actually used to be a crocodile farm (c’mon, you can’t get more Aussie than that), but today is home to one of the top-rated beer gardens in Australia, with some pretty epic cider and beer options. Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."

"One of the first craft beers in Australia, Little Creatures occupies prime warehouse and restaurant space on the waterfront. You can tour the brewery, or simply relax with a cold, refreshing pils and get a bite to eat. The food there is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting."

"The undeniable draw of King Somm might be enough to make us move to Bayswater – that’s what fans we are of this neighbourhood pizzeria, bar and bottleshop. Wine connoisseurs will surely be into their rotating selection of lo-fi drops, while pizza snobs can get into the 72- hour, “pasta riporto” dough and judicious use of toppings. Add in a team stacked with hospo veterans?"

"Put your hand up if in addition to supermarkets and pharmacies, you think bottle shops are an essential service?. The team behind this Bayswater bar, boutique bottle shop and restaurant must agree as they are delivering pasta, pizza and wine to surrounding areas, as well as having it available to pick up."

"At King Somm they will be serving up the Masterchef approved pizzas for takeaway, as well as delicious pasta – to give you a break from the packet pasta and Dolmio combination. For $40 you can enjoy a tasty pizza and a paired wine of the day. Explore the full menu kingsomm.com.au."

Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."

"Hidden in an alleyway between Murray St and Wolf Lane, this quiet courtyard is hard to find. But if you manage to locate it, Holmes and Co rewards you with a stack of inventive breakfast options, such as the Char Siu Benny (pulled pork, spinach and hollandaise) and Holmes Stack (sweet corn, zucchini and cumin fritters with avo, dukkah, poached egg plus salmon or bacon). Also open for dinner Thursday to Saturday."

"Caversham Wildlife Park is a 25-minute drive from the Perth CBD and here kids and parents can get up close and personal with the animals. Daily attractions include a ‘True Blue Aussie Farm Show” where you’ll get to watch sheep shearing, cracking of a stock whip, cow milking, and sheepdogs mustering sheep. You’ll even get to meet a stockman on horseback."

"For a big day out a little further out of Perth, Cohunu Koala Park down in Byford is a great chance to get your kids acquainted with some native Australian wildlife. There are parrots, emus, kangaroos, owls, deer and of course, koalas. There’s even some replica dinosaurs (we’re sensing a bit of a Jurassic theme on this list) and a kids train to choo choo around on."
