FONTY’S POOL

Truffle Kerfuffle takes place at Fonty’s Pool amidst the vibrant horticultural neighborhood of Seven Day Road. The pool is the legacy of Italian Archimedes Fontanini MBE who landed in Fremantle in 1904 with just 12s.6p ($1.25) in his pocket. His family founded a farm at a time when the trip to Bridgetown for supplies took three days by horse and cart. What began as a stream fed dam for his children to swim in, became so popular locally that he rebuilt it and opened to the public in 1925. Nearly an acre in size, the pool has a winter flow rate of 44,000 litres per hour. Fonty’s Pool is now owned and managed by Jeremy and Kelly Beissel and their young family, who with assistance of National Trust of Australia and encouragement of the Fontanini family, restored it to it’s former glory. 

All accommodation at Fonty's Pool Caravan Park & Chalets will be booked through the Moshtix website.
