Woodman Point Recreation Camp

Woodman Point provides a historic coastal location south of Fremantle in unique heritage accommodation.

Woodman Point Recreation Camp is popular with a wide variety of groups. Its proximity to Fremantle, competitive pricing, idyllic beach location and the range of adventure programs in The Cube ensure that Woodman Point is unique in many ways. Staff pride themselves on client-focused service and are intent on providing high-level, cost-effective recreation programs to a wide range of groups, including special needs organisations.

The site has significant historical and cultural importance. The site was originally a quarantine station with the first buildings constructed in 1886 and more added in 1901. These buildings have been recently renovated. In contrast to the original buildings, The Cube is a modern, multi-purpose adventure training facility.
