About this property

Retreat on the Murray. Riverfront modern home with private jetty.

Fabulous riverfront location. 1 Hour drive south from Perth CBD. Perfect for a couple's getaway, retirees' vacation and great for family holidays with the kids.
Welcome to our relaxing "Retreat on the Murray River" with something for everyone in the family. Completely renovated with all the quality comforts of home. The short drive from Perth makes it great for time poor couples or families who are looking for a break in a relaxed picturesque setting. Wake up to the peace and serenity of life on the Murray River. Enjoy your freshly brewed morning coffee from the front bar/veranda to take in the early morning river views before a spot of fishing from your own private jetty or head out in your boat to catch your breakfast. Make use of the kayaks or push bikes in the shed to take in the beauty of this place or if you prefer a walk then Pelicans Cafe, Sandy Cove Tavern and Jettys Bar and Grill are some options for lunch or dinner. IGA is only 5mins away and you are close to Mandurah and Pinjarra.
During the cooler months you can grab a good book from the house library or a board game with the kids and nestle in front of the pot belly with a glass of wine. When the warmer months arrive the list of things to do is endless.

Very Enjoyable Family Getaway on the Murray
Beautiful house with great views and a huge secure back yard for the dog to run around. Loved having our own jetty to park the boat. Just a short walk to Jettys pub too. Great spot and great hosts. Would happily return for another stay.

Great stay with extended family
Lovely location and a really well equipped house. Our group ranged in ages from 14 to 76 and we all had a great time. Bikes and kayaks available made for lots of fun. There was plenty of room for everyone and everything was clean and very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location for a family Christmas!
Retreat on the Murray in South Yunderup was the perfect location to spend our Christmas with plenty of room for 2 families (8 adults and 2 kids) and our little dog. Jacqui and Phil are excellent hosts - easy to contact, chocolate and wine on arrival, Christmas tree and lights all ready for us, and even elves on shelf! Great big backyard, shed full of bikes and kayaks, and heaps of board games to play. The private jetty was fantastic, and being able to leave the boat parked up made daily crabbing and river cruising a highlight. Kids loved swimming and fishing off the jetty too. Highly recommend and would love to return someday!

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Holman

Host profile image
Phil and Jacqui would like to welcome you to our holiday home in Yunderup. We have a large active family of 4 kids and have enjoyed many years of holidaying in yunderup. Our kids have so many fond childhood memories of holidays on the Murray. Getting up at the crack of dawn and heading out in the boat for a spot of crabbing or fishing with their dad. Sitting around the back table shelling fresh cooked crabs and sharing their fishing stories. Spending the days out riding their bikes and paddling up the river in their kayaks. Heading up the road to pick up a feed of hot fish and chips on the nights that mum didn't feel like cooking. Yunderup is a beautiful tranquil place with so much to see and do. The river views are ever changing with the constant boat trafffic and abundance of birdlife.
And even though our kids have now grown up and are starting to leave the nest they are always keen to head back to yunderup for a break and catch up with the family and continue to tell those fishing stories over the back table with a fresh feed of crabs. We hope you enjoy the serenity of our retreat on the murray

Why they chose this property

This property is on a quiet riverfront street with its own private jetty and centrally located to popular cafes and restaurants. Single level dwelling with minimal steps makes it accessible for people with disabilities or families with young children. Plenty of parking at the front and rear of the property for a boat and trailer. Ducted air-conditioning for the warmer months and a great pot belly wood fire to warm the house in the cooler months.

What makes this property unique

Fully renovated inside and out but still has the look of a traditional Yunderup river house.
There is 1 external security camera at the front of the property but this does not impact on the privacy of our guests during their stay. Large grassed back lawn for the kids that is fenced and secure. Wonderful safe neighbourhood in the desirable location of Yunderup.
