AREA GUIDE Neighbourhood From the laid-back pace, you’d never guess Mandurah is Western Australia’s second-largest city on first impression. That is until you delve into the active lifestyle. The beloved holiday spot is less than an hour’s drive from Perth, and is known for its quaint townships, teeming with restaurants, galleries and shops. It’s also a place to immerse yourself in both nature and culture. You could be bobbing around the Peel-Harvey Estuary on a houseboat, wandering through towering Farrah Forests, living it up on a swanky canal lined with mansions or dining on some of the state’s finest cuisine. Along these scenic canals, luxurious homes, apartments, and townhouses dot the landscape, offering enviable views, and crafting an atmosphere of serenity and sophistication. Things to Do Take a dip within the floating pontoons of Kwillena Gabi Pool, cruise through Venetianstyle canals and paddle along hidden spots on the meandering Murray River. Follow idyllic walking tracks, tracing the Serpentine River, or wander the boardwalks through the wetlands and wilderness. Mandurah is a place for the outdoorsy types, a favoured destination for its crabbing, fishing and boating as much as its water biking, kayaking and jet skiing. You don’t have to travel far out of the city to enjoy these offerings either, with the Mandurah foreshore a hive of activity and fun. Families flock to the playground or to go swimming at one of the beaches, as diners head to their favourite café, restaurant or bar in Dolphin Quay. Fish and chips or picnics are a favourite pastime too at this pretty precinct.

All dining, shopping and beauty needs are met at Dolphin Quay, which is a wonderful spot to take a stroll before stepping on your yacht, even if you’ve just hired it for the day from a local charter operator. There are very few places in the state to live perched on the water’s edge, yet Mandurah’s canals are lined with luxurious properties boasting enviable views. Residents enjoy a serene, slower pace of life, backed by a strong community spirit and the call of the ocean. Mandurah perfectly embodies its tagline: “relaxed by nature.” Nestled along the Peel-Harvey estuary, a vast expanse twice the size of Sydney Harbour, this vibrant city beckons with its idyllic waterfront setting, appealing to families, professionals, and retirees alike who crave coastal living. Here, leisurely pursuits like sailing, fishing, and fine dining abound, complemented by an array of shops, schools, and efficient transport options. – Aaron Boud, Principal | Belle Property Mandurah Mandurah Magical Home to many pristine beaches and hidden bays, Mandurah is renowned for its crabbing, fishing, and boating.
