Breeze into Beach Days
Make your first stop in Alkimos, Perth’s fast-growing northern gem. Just 40 minutes from the Perth CBD, Alkimos offers you the best of coastal living.
Don’t miss: a visit to Shorehaven Beach, where a real-life shipwreck sits in pristine waters. Enjoy a beachfront bite at Oceans 27 or a classic pub meal at The Landing, then let your little adventurers run free at Treasure Island Adventure Park.
If coastal living sounds like your style, it may be time to make the move to the coast. Our range of home designs with up to four bedrooms is perfect for growing families. Check-out the Flynn 235, Dampier 265 and Karridale 265, and stay tuned for new home and land releases in the New Year.
Good to know: Alkimos is home to quality schools including Alkimos Primary, St James’ Anglican College and Alkimos College. Plus, coming in 2026, the Alkimos Aquatic & Recreation Centre will be your go-to destination for swimming, fitness and family fun!
Coastal charm meets convenience
Zip up the coast and discover Eglinton, a family-friendly haven known for its modern homes, fun parks and chilled beachside vibe.
Don’t miss: a long lunch at Amberton Beach Bar & Restaurant, where you’ll enjoy breath-taking ocean views. For family fun, explore Amberton Beach Lighthouse Park, home to a giant ship for little adventurers, or cool off at Revolution Park in Allara Estate. And for your four-legged friend, Eglinton Dog Park is the perfect place to run free and enjoy a few zoomies.
Planning ahead? We have designs to suit families of all sizes (pets included) with large alfresco spaces. You’ll love the Exmouth 190, Dampier 265 and Jurien 250.
Coming soon: Woolworths is opening in Eglinton Village in 2026, featuring a restaurant & café.
Yanchep a wildlife wonder
Head a further five minutes up the coast to Yanchep, where chilled beach vibes meet a vibrant community energy.
Don’t miss: a visit to Yanchep National Park where you’ll spot kangaroos, wander through the koala sanctuary, explore caves, or take on treetop adventures. For little ones, Indi Enchantment Park is perfect for a magical playtime.
Feeling peckish? Stop by Orion Café for a coffee, take a stroll through the Lavender Farm, or enjoy sunset drinks at Yanchep Beach Club. Before you leave, visit Yanchep Lagoon, a great spot to soak up the sun and snorkel the reef in crystal-clear waters.
Good to know: Yanchep has a growing surf culture and a big Surf Life Saving community.
