It's true to say that Mandurah is one of the most thriving regional cities in Western Australia.
Approximately 74kms south of Perth, Mandurah is blessed with a unique blend of coast, bushland, industry and inner-city living. A tourist's paradise, Mandurah is also the capital of the Peel region and considered the gateway to the South West.
Mandurah is abuzz with large numbers of residents and visitors daily, although history reminds us this is nothing new. In fact, the name Mandurah was actually derived from the Aboriginal word, "mandjar", meaning the "meeting place".
Where canals almost make up the city streets and a cosmopolitan lifestyle is dotted with culture, history and limitless activities, your day is as strenuous or relaxing as you make it here.
Stop in to one of the many cafes and restaurants that line the famous foreshore or just stroll around the national parks and wineries to work off your indulgence from that great little pastry shop you found last night. Mandurah is located less than an hour's drive South of Perth and is perched on the coast overlooking the pristine Indian Ocean.
From breezy self-contained apartments nestled next to the waterways or canal side bed and breakfasts to beautifully appointed resort villas with magnificent ocean views, the choice is endless in Mandurah.
Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, a romantic weekend or that convenient stop to park the car, set up the tent and enjoy a piece of untouched Australia, Mandurah and the Peel Region really have it all and the Mandurah Visitor Centre is never far away for more information, advice and to book your next holiday.
A rich arts and festival culture runs deep in the veins of the Mandurah community. Throughout the seasons we host festivals and events which celebrate our water- based lifestyle, scenery and outstanding weather.
