Norfolk Hotel, hotel in Fremantle, Western Australia
The Norfolk Hotel is a pub and accommodation building in Fremantle with nine guest rooms, a main bar area, and multiple dining spaces including Frankie's Bar and the Odd Fellow Bar in the basement. The venue features a large courtyard, pool tables, pinball machines, and can host events for up to 165 guests in its private spaces.
The original Oddfellows Hotel opened in 1887 before the Norfolk Hotel building was constructed in 1895 by George Davies, a former Fremantle mayor. A major renovation in 1985 by Wayne Donaldson transformed the space into the modern pub and hotel concept it is today, coinciding with significant changes in the local area.
The Norfolk Hotel sits on South Terrace, part of the Cappuccino Strip where locals and travelers naturally gather to share meals and drinks. The outdoor courtyards function as social hubs where you can watch street life unfold while people relax in the warm weather.
The establishment opens daily from midday until midnight and welcomes both walk-in visitors and advance bookings, making it accessible for casual drop-ins or planned visits. Parking is available nearby on South Terrace, and the location places you within easy walking distance of other Fremantle attractions and street-level shops.
The hotel became an early showcase for Australian craft beer starting in 1986 when Brewtech, the company that founded the nation's craft brewing movement, purchased it. That pioneering connection remains visible today in the carefully selected local and craft beers still featured on its taps.
