🏡 The Space
Welcome to Preston Beach, your peaceful escape on the hill overlooking the Indian Ocean and the local golf course. This modern coastal retreat offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area that flows seamlessly onto a large entertaining balcony surrounded by a native garden.
Relax with your morning coffee as the sun rises or enjoy a glass of wine and cheese while watching the sky turn golden at sunset. The home is thoughtfully styled with contemporary beach-inspired décor, comfortable beds, and premium 1000-thread-count linen and towels.
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for family and friends, complete with all essential appliances. If you’d rather eat out, Footprints Resort nearby serves great food and drinks on weekends.
Each bedroom is designed for comfort:
Bedroom 1: Queen bed, walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct balcony access
Bedroom 2: Double bed with built-in robe
Bedroom 3: Double bed with built-in robe
A portacot is available on request for families with young children.
Guests enjoy access to Wi-Fi, reverse-cycle air conditioning, washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer, and ample parking on-site and on the street. Board and card games are provided for quiet evenings in, and the home is a smoke-free space.
It’s an easy walk to the General Store (10 minutes) and Preston Beach (12 minutes or a 3-minute drive). The area offers walking trails, viewing platforms, boardwalks, and excellent fishing spots. Preston Beach is one of the few beaches where 4WD access is permitted right along the coast.
Enjoy swimming, beachcombing, or casting a line — local catches include whiting, herring, tailor, and salmon (in season), as well as the famous Shovelnose. Nearby picnic areas feature free BBQs, playgrounds, and shaded lawns perfect for families.
Nestled halfway between Mandurah and Bunbury (about 45 minutes each way), Preston Beach offers the best of both worlds — close enough for day trips, yet tranquil and unspoiled. Surrounded by Yalgorup National Park, the area is a haven for native wildlife, birdwatching, and scenic trails.
Please note: there are stairs leading to the property, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility or wheelchairs.
