A new way to stay on the water in Mandurah

Some homes make it easy to do as much, or as little, as the day calls for.

Sanctuary Cove is one of them. Set on the canals in Mandurah, this brand-new holiday home brings the water right into the rhythm of the stay. Mornings might begin with coffee on the balcony before heading out by boat. Afternoons can unfold on the lawn, around the jetty, or along the foreshore. Evenings are made for gathering back at the house as the light shifts across the canals.

As the latest addition to the Private Properties collection, Sanctuary Cove brings something generous and easy to Mandurah. It is polished without feeling precious, spacious without losing warmth, and designed for holidays where families and friends can genuinely settle in.

Designed for togetherness

The home has been created with larger groups in mind, but not in the usual crowded holiday home sense. There is room here to come together, and just as importantly, room to step away.

Across two levels, the spaces unfold with a quiet practicality. Upstairs, the main living area opens to the view, creating a natural gathering point for meals, drinks and slow afternoons overlooking the canals. Downstairs, a second living zone gives children, teenagers or extended family their own place to retreat, making the home especially well suited to multi-generational stays.

The interiors are contemporary and calm, with a clean coastal feel that suits the setting. Nothing feels overworked. Instead, the home gives you space, comfort and a sense of ease from the moment you arrive.

Space that feels rare on the canals

What makes Sanctuary Cove especially memorable is not only the home itself, but the breathing room around it.

Canal homes are often defined by their water frontage, but here the experience extends well beyond the jetty. An adjoining grassed block gives the property a rare sense of openness, a place for children to play, guests to gather, or evenings to unfold around the fire pit. It makes the home feel less like a waterfront address and more like a private holiday setting.

BYO boat

For guests who love being on the water, Sanctuary Cove offers something few holiday homes can: the ability to bring your own boat and keep it right at the property.

With a private jetty and space for one boat, days can be shaped around the water with ease. Head out in the morning, return home for lunch, then set off again in the afternoon without the need to pack the car or plan around ramps and parking. It brings a different kind of freedom to the stay. One where the canals, estuary and Mandurah’s waterways feel like an extension of the home itself.

It is a rare feature, and one that makes Sanctuary Cove especially appealing for boating families, fishing trips or anyone who wants their holiday to revolve around life on the water.

Mandurah, at your own pace

Sanctuary Cove places you close to the best of Mandurah without pulling you away from the calm of the canals. The foreshore, cafes, restaurants and local breweries are all within easy reach, giving you plenty of options when you feel like heading out.

But the real beauty of staying here is the choice. You can spend the day boating, wander into town for lunch, take a short drive to the beach, or simply stay exactly where you are. In many ways, Sanctuary Cove is less about following a fixed itinerary and more about letting the water, weather and company shape the day.
