Within 5 minutes of the property, you can find yourself at pristine beaches, playing a round of golf on the prestigious Cut Golf Course, enjoying channel views and dolphin watching from The Cut Tavern, or dining out at the numerous cafe and restaurant options the area has to offer. For weekend guests, you can take a stroll through the Peel Produce Markets that are held in the reserve in front of the property every Saturday morning.

Mandurah town is a 15-minute drive and has plenty to offer holidaymakers, from dolphin and pirate cruises, mini train rides along the foreshore, skate park, cinema, playgrounds and of course more beaches. In the winter months, you could find yourself at the Winter Wonderland on the Mandurah Foreshore ice skating and tobogganing. Mandurah has no shortage of cafes, bars/pubs, day spas and boutique shops, you are sure to find something to please everyone during your stay.
Mandurah is also famous for the blue swimmer crab, if you find yourself staying at the property during crabbing season we have supplied everything you need to catch a feast of crabs from the estuary in front of the home.
For those wanting to explore, heading south takes you towards the Thrombolites, Thorney Devil Brewery, The lazy crab Tavern (for a local experience) and Old Coast Brewery. Taking you even further south you can visit the Crooked Carrot which is great for families and you can include a stop off for a swim at Preston beach or take a day trip to some of the beautiful towns the South West has to offer.
Heading east you can day trip to Pinjarra for a train ride the kids will love, head out to Dwellingup and enjoy the cidery, Carraholly Orchid or pack a picnic and visit the national park for a swim in the waterholes. A touch closer to home you can visit Midway Farm to pet the animals and try their delicious baked goods.
You will receive the access details a few days before your arrival, once you have completed the Truvi guest verification process.
Our home is situated along the scenic Estuary Road. This area is renowned for its picturesque waterfront views and serene natural surroundings, offering a truly tranquil retreat. As part of the charm of this location, we are fortunate to be visited almost daily by native wildlife, including bandicoots. While we take all reasonable measures to minimize their presence in and around the home, these persistent little visitors are occasionally spotted. We hope you find joy in the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature during your stayโfar removed from the bright city lights.
The property is fully furnished, airconditioned and equipped to ensure you have everything you need for your stay. The property provides a high chair and travel cot for families traveling with young children, as well as a selection of toys and DVDs.
The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for your entertainment, home-cooked dinners, cheese platers, BBQ's and of course the all-important morning cup of coffee or tea! In the bathrooms, you will find a carefully selected range of hand soaps and body wash for your convenience. For long-term stays, the property offers a fully stocked and functional laundry.
Notes for staying with young children - The property does accommodate children but it is worth noting that the property is not fenced and the home is split level featuring two carpeted five stair stairwells that are not gated. Outlet plugs have been placed on any unused power outlets and a fire place gate has been installed, additionally the balcony is fully enclosed but supervision of young children is encouraged.
Guests have access to all areas of the house apart from the garage . The Peel Produce Market runs every Saturday from 8amโ12pm at Leprechaun Park on the Dawesville Foreshore. Enjoy fresh local produce, artisan goods, live music, and a friendly community vibe by the estuary. A perfect way to start your weekend in Dawesville.
To navigate around, hereโs an overview of the area and its modes of transportation:
Private Vehicle: The most convenient way to explore Dawesville and the surrounding areas is by car. The location is easily accessible via the main road, and having a vehicle allows for greater flexibility in exploring nearby attractions like the Peel Estuary, Dawesville Cut, and nearby beaches.
Public Transport: Public transportation options are more limited in this region. However, you can catch buses in and around the town, although the schedules may not be as frequent or convenient for tourists. Itโs advisable to check with local bus operators for specific routes.
Taxi and Ride-Sharing: Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are available, although the coverage might not be as extensive as in larger cities. It can be a practical option for those without a car, but itโs recommended to plan ahead.
Bicycles: Dawesville is a relatively quiet and scenic area, making cycling a pleasant way to explore nearby attractions, especially along the coastline and natural areas.
Walking: While walking is great for exploring local spots such as nearby beaches and parks, it may not be the most practical option for covering longer distances to nearby towns or attractions.
This is a strictly no-pet property or no pets are allowed on the premises at any time.
