Only six Fremantle rooms left as grand final demand surges
Just six properties remain available in Fremantle for grand final weekend (Sept 25-27) as fans book ahead.
Fremantle accommodation is almost fully booked ahead of the AFL grand final on September 25 to 27, even though the Dockers must win two more finals matches to get there. Only six properties are publicly available for a family of four.
One is a $6,000 standalone apartment, and others are beds in youth hostels. The city is preparing for a potential 40,000 extra visitors.
Council has approved $230,000 to create a live site with big screens on the cappuccino strip and watch parties across Fremantle. Hotels, pubs and even the local prison have reported booking surges from fans planning their grand final trip.
