Holiday homes and baches in Mandurah

Mandurah is a gorgeous canal city, and whether you prefer the sound of the waves or the lapping of gentle waters, Mandurah has the holiday home for you. The main city has main road links to Avocet Island, home to luxurious holiday homes and exquisite sea views. Or choose a holiday home inland, where you’ll be near the lush countryside and peaceful forests but still a stone’s throw from the action.

For a city which is built right on the coast, and interconnected with canals, you’d be right to expect that many holiday homes have a waterfront view. Some even have their own jetty! Mandurah’s wonderful climate means that most holiday homes have ample outdoor space, whether gardens or a terrace, allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds and, of course, the extraordinary sunsets of the city. Relax and enjoy watching the world go by after an amazing day exploring the delights of Mandurah.

Mandurah boasts an estuary twice the size of Sydney’s harbour, so with all that water it’s not surprising that Mandurah is a watersports mecca with diving, sailing and surfing at your service.

But Mandurah is not just a seaside destination. Head inland to explore Mandurah’s forests, national parks and nature reserves. Enjoy the endless miles of cycle tracks through open countryside or dense woodlands, hike the hills and mountains or simply relax on the divine beaches. You’ll need sustenance on your trip, of course, and there’s no better place to come to enjoy the fruits of the sea and the bounty of the land. Try Flics Kitchen on Mandurah Terrace for a tapas style dip into the huge variety of culinary offerings available to you throughout Mandurah.

If you can do it on or in water, you can do it in Mandurah. And what’s more, there’s nowhere better to do it than the clear, blue seas and lakes of this delightful holiday location.
