Retreat on the Murray. Riverfront modern home with private jetty.

Fabulous riverfront location. 1 Hour drive south from Perth CBD. Perfect for a couple's getaway, retirees' vacation and great for family holidays with the kids.

Welcome to our relaxing "Retreat on the Murray River" with something for everyone in the family. Completely renovated with all the quality comforts of home. The short drive from Perth makes it great for time poor couples or families who are looking for a break in a relaxed picturesque setting.

Wake up to the peace and serenity of life on the Murray River. Enjoy your freshly brewed morning coffee from the front bar/veranda to take in the early morning river views before a spot of fishing from your own private jetty or head out in your boat to catch your breakfast. Make use of the kayaks or push bikes in the shed to take in the beauty of this place or if you prefer a walk then Pelicans Cafe, Sandy Cove Tavern and Jettys Bar and Grill are some options for lunch or dinner. IGA is only 5mins away and you are close to Mandurah and Pinjarra.

During the cooler months you can grab a good book from the house library or a board game with the kids and nestle in front of the pot belly with a glass of wine. When the warmer months arrive the list of things to do is endless. Tie your boat up to your private jetty and come and go as you please (boat ramp is less than 2kms down the road) Swimming, fishing, paddling the list goes on. Catch a feed of crabs with the crab nets provided.

This quality holiday home includes:

A private jetty, with boat mooring
Fully functioning kitchen equipped with many essential appliances e.g. coffee machine, electric frying pan, kettle, toaster, toasted sandwich maker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer.
Cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, glassware and some bare essentials in the pantry make preparing a meal a little easier.
Portable cot, highchair, kids playroom with a child safety gate that can be removed if not needed.
Enclosed backyard for the kids with plenty of room to play. Large undercover patio area with bbq and outdoor setting. Large grassed area.

Extended weekend away
Fabulous stay for 2 families! Excellent communication from the host from booking through to checking in. Streamline process. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kayaks and bikes were used by the kids during the stay. The house was very clean and the AC provided relief from the heat. The back and front patio was nice to sit under in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

90 Birthday break
My family spend four days in this lovely house. The house was spacious and easy for my mother who has mobility issues to get around. The only issues we had was there were no safety rails on the wall in shower. At the age of 90 she feels very insecure without something to hold onto.It’s a very quiet lovely area to visit. I would highly recommend this house.

Very Enjoyable Family Getaway on the Murray
Beautiful house with great views and a huge secure back yard for the dog to run around. Loved having our own jetty to park the boat. Just a short walk to Jettys pub too. Great spot and great hosts. Would happily return for another stay.

Retreat on the Murray - Excellent in Every Way
The property exceeded all our expectations! It was spotlessly clean and so well set up for our multigenerational family. The location is fantastic - a short drive to both Mandurah and Pinjarra, with both towns offering a broad range of family activities and entertainment. The river outlook from the house is truly magical. Our grandchildren loved kayaking on the river too. Jacqui is a fabulous host and we thank her for her attention to detail and prompt and easy communication style. We would love to stay at her property again.
