Formerly a holiday option for Perth families, Mandurah today offers great shopping, pubs, clubs, cafes and markets. Take cruise capturing a glimpse of some of the many bottlenose dolphins that live in the waterways. You can catch a feed of succulent blue swimmer crabs yourself, or wet a line for some exciting river, estuary or ocean fishing.

There's also house-boating and cruising quiet rivers and waterways to be had, plus dining, theatre-going and art exhibitions on the Mandurah waterfront. Try your hand at white water rafting, visit a feature garden or just relax as you enjoy the extensive network of inland waterways, rivers, wetlands, lakes, forests, National Parks and beaches.

Less than sixty minutes drive from Perth in South Western Australia, the Peel Region covers an area of 5,500 square kilometers and includes five sub-regions: Serpentine-Jarrahdale, Murray (including Pinjarra and Dwellingup), Boddington, Waroona and Mandurah. See www.visitmandurah.com

At the heart of Mandurah – both geographically and spiritually – the Peel-Harvey estuary is a water playground and the life centre of the Peel Region.

With over 130 square kilometres of idyllic inland waterways, it's twice the size of Sydney Harbour, and blessed with abundant marine life and natural beauty. Surrounding the estuary, just south of Perth, the beautiful Peel Region is bursting with sensory delights. At its glittering centre, the city of Mandurah is alive with cafés and restaurants dotted along waterfront boardwalks.

Recently declared Australia's fastest growing regional destination, the coastal town of Mandurah has become a vibrant tourist attraction with a multitude of activities and entertainment throughout the year!

 

Boasting an astonishing aquatic playground and cosmopolitan lifestyle it's no wonder Mandurah is so popular to visit. With delightful restaurants and cafes, crystal clear blue water, and an abundance of activities for the whole family, Mandurah makes for a great getaway!
