Dolphin Quay - Mandurah, Australia

on February 9, 2013

Mandurah is the second-largest city in Western Australia and is located approximately 72 km (45 min) south of the state capital, Perth. The city attracts a large number of tourists, including many international visitors.

We booked an apartment at Mandurah. The apartment is clean, spacious and equipped with everything we need from cooking to laundry.

Feel like home to me….

Our apartment is facing the canal. Many of our neighbours are having their own private boat parked in front of their apartment, so cool. After resting for 30 minutes in the apartment, we went out for a walk. Husband said there is a Quay outside where we could take our dinner for the night.

When I saw all those open air restaurants / cafes / bars facing the sea, I fell in love with this place.

The city centre foreshore is home to a variety of wildlife including dolphins, pelicans, shags and an abundance of marine life like blue manna crab which has become synonymous with the area. Mandurah is also known for its protected waterways, beaches and boating and fishing activities.

Always a popular day-trip destination, Mandurah is a mix of inner city and semi-rural living. People come on holiday and then want to stay, which has resulted in Mandurah expanding to offer an exciting mix of residential developments, from family homes and modern apartments within new estates to luxurious homes nestled along numerous canal waterways.
