Spacious indoor bouldering gym in O Connor with routes across all skill levels, beginner coaching sessions, monthly social climbs, and an on-site cafe. Kids 5 and up can climb with adult supervision.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 7 and up who want proper coaching alongside their climbing, not just a casual session. The one-on-one coaching format is a genuine strength. Families should that at least one recent review reports unfriendly staff treatment toward families - phone ahead during busy periods to gauge current staffing.

“While traveling in Perth, I signed up for Axis Coaching (Initial 1-on-1 Private Coaching for 1 hour: $60) through the Portside Boulders website. It's located about a 10-minute walk from the Sainsbury Rd After Hines Rd bus stop. I scheduled a time via email and received one-hour instruction from Coach EM. Since I struggle to communicate in English, Coach EM, with my understanding, used a translation app on my smartphone to help me learn safe falling techniques and create a bouldering course suited to my skill level. Portside Boulders O'Connor offers a variety of bouldering courses and is a great gym for beginners. While my English communication skills were a bit limited, Coach EM's detailed guidance provided a high-quality workout. Please note that you can continue your workout after the one-hour lesson. If I ever visit Perth again, I'd love to visit this gym again. If you are visiting by public transport, it is convenient to use public transport from Freementle or Bull Creek.”
