This is a property made for slowing down. The open living area invites relaxed conversation around the fire, while the bush-fringed porch is ideal for morning coffees and evening wines. The home is filled with thoughtful comforts, yet intentionally pared back to encourage connection with nature and those around you.

The kitchen is simple but functional, with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. There’s a BBQ outside for grilling, and the full laundry and bathroom setup includes a tub that’s perfect for soaking tired feet after a walk or paddle.

Outdoors, kids will love spotting kangaroos and exploring the surrounding bush, while adults can settle into a book or simply enjoy the breeze and birdsong.

Kangaroo Cottage is set in a peaceful corner of Dawesville, a quiet coastal town south of Mandurah. You’re a short walk to Pyramids Beach – uncrowded and great for swimming or surfing – and a quick drive to the estuary and Dawesville Cut for paddling, boating, or dolphin spotting.

The area offers simple pleasures: grab a coffee at Café Coast, enjoy casual meals at The Cut Tavern, or pick up fish and chips for an easy dinner. There are walking tracks through the bush and along the coast, plus weekend markets, local shops, and great spots for birdwatching nearby.

This is an unpretentious coastal escape – no resort crowds, just the sound of the sea, the rustle of the trees, and space to breathe.
