Seashells Mandurah

Imagine a coastal retreat ripe for a seaside getaway, with beachfront accommodation, epic West Coast sunsets and the freedom to dip your toes in the Indian Ocean whenever you feel like it.

Checking in to Seashells Mandurah makes that a reality, offering self-contained one-, two- or three-bedroom apartments and villas with ocean or marina views, less than an hour from Perth by car. It’s a home-away-from-home set-up, where couples and families are equally well catered for, be it a weekend or even week-long stay. And who wouldn’t want to spend a whole week here? The apartments are spacious and the prime location puts you just steps away from Town Beach. Slide open your living room door, breathe in the sea air and relish the sunshine from your private deck. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun go down – especially with a glass of chardonnay from the nearby Peel wine region in hand.

What’s Around

A little cousin to neighbouring Perth, Mandurah is the ultimate aquatic playground. Soak in its magic on its waterways, with an estuary more than twice the size of Sydney Harbour. Boat tours run from Mandurah Ocean Marina, and kayak or canoe hire is also available nearby. Ask the Seashells Mandurah tour desk for all the intel.

What’s Super Special

Few places exude that instant holiday feeling quite like Mandurah, with its endless stretches of pristine coastline and 134 square kilometres of tranquil inland waterways. Sun-kissed Seashells puts you right in the centre of it all – incredible seafood, safe swimming beaches – making it a destination to add to your West Australian bucket list.

Children

The apartments are self-catering, so they are ideal for families with all the mod-cons you have at home, and the seaside city is well-suited to families who love the water, with lots to do on dry land, as well.

Breakfast

The fully equipped kitchens are ready for a morning cook-up – just BYO the goods. An IGA is three minutes away by car, and Lily Paris French Café & Pâtisserie in Dolphin Quay is within walking distance for fresh pastries from 7am daily

Eating and Drinking

There’s nil on-site, but there are plenty of good eateries within walking distance at the Mandurah Ocean Marina, which has a vibrant dining and entertainment precinct set against rows of shiny yachts and a backdrop of unique houseboats. Pop into Brewvino for a pre-dinner tipple, then head to  Cicerello’s for tried-and-tested fish and chips with a fully licensed bar. Slightly further afield, Boundary Island Brewery is Mandurah’s local microbrewery, run by two local families and neatly positioned right on the water’s edge in Erskine. Airy and open with incredible views of the Peel-Harvey Estuary, it’s kid- and dog-friendly, too. 

Things to Book

The Seashells Mandurah tour desk can advise you on the best local tours, including epic dolphin spotting. How about miniatures, a maze and mini-golf? Amaze Miniature Park is found on the outskirts of Mandurah, only a 15-minute drive from the property. If it’s even possible to feel more relaxed, book a treatment at Endota Day Spa Mandurah, which is right next door. Both solo and couples packages are offered, whether you’re looking for a full-body massage, an organic facial or a sauna session.
