Allandale
With sweeping 180-degree views of the Harvey Estuary, this heritage-listed homestead is over 100 years old and combines country charm with elegance.

Mandurah Houseboats
If you’re looking for something a bit different for your next trip, and have sturdy sea legs, why not try a houseboat holiday? Mandurah Houseboats hires out fully equipped boats with hot water, stovetops, fridges and all of the other essential amenities. If you’re worried about your lack of boating experience, fear not, as you can hire one of these without a skipper’s ticket.
While you’re cruising along the inlet, you’ll be able to crab and fish to your heart’s content, and if you’re lucky, you might see a few dolphins! You can moor at any public jetty or mooring overnight, so this a great chance to get back on land and have sunset drinks or family dinners at Mandurah’s many restaurants and eateries. This is sure to be a memorable experience for the kids!
Bali @ Avalon Bed & Breakfast
For those who missed out on their annual Bali trip this year, why not substitute it for a stay at this hidden Balinese oasis just south of Mandurah? Fit with palm trees, day beds and a pool, it is the perfect place to unwind and imagine you’re in the tropics.
The house is only a few hundred meters from the Avalon foreshore and boat ramp, and only a 15-minute drive up to Mandurah, so you’re in a prime spot to bring down your boat or enjoy the cafe strip of Mandurah. If you’re wanting to just lounge around at home, you can enjoy the sauna, heated pool and lush tropical garden, which sounds like the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail.
There are two villas, so this B&B would work for a couple’s trip or even for a group of friends. If you book a Friday & Saturday night out of peak season, you can get a third night free on either the Thursday or Sunday night.
