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. Tie your boat up to your private jetty and come and go as you please (boat ramp is less than 2kms down the road) Swimming, fishing, paddling the list goes on. Catch a feed of crabs with the crab nets provided.

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!

Making memories at Yunderup
This is a lovely property for a family get together. The large yard, well fenced, and large rear outdoor area were great for a bbq. The owners were prompt to reply to any questions, the property was beautifully clean and very welcoming. We also saw dolphins swim past the jetty the morning we left. Heaven.

Beautiful spot and great property
We spent 3 nights at the property with 2 families, kids ages 13, 13, 11, plus 2 small dogs. The property is modern and well equipped. With a beautiful verandah overlooking the river. There is a queen bed and ensuite in the main house, then 2 smaller bedrooms, and a second queen in the parents retreat out the back. The mattress on the bed in the parents retreat is quite firm so if you prefer a softer mattress, choose an inside bed. The parents retreat also allows a lot of sun in early (light blinds only), and there is a noisy drip drip drip if raining, so if these things bother you, bring an eye mask and ear plugs. We did and it was fine. There is a ceiling fan out there but no aircon yet, although sounds like plans to get it. There are mosquitoes but coils and repellent are provided, but we did move inside when they started to nibble. The back yard is massive and our little dogs loved running around, and we played boules and finska. The front yard is also enclosed which is excellent for dogs or toddlers. We enjoyed a walk into the lime tree cafe for coffee each morning along the river, and Sunday we went to the Jetty bar and grill for lunch and some live music. The massive fire in the main house kept us warm all weekend. We had been looking forward to padding in the kayaks which are provided but the weather was a bit cool. The gated driveway allowed us to store our trailer safely (we bought down our electric scooters and own bikes). Comms with host excellent. Thanks

Great family trip
We had a great family trip to this house. It was ultra clean and had lots of handy and appreciated additions (tea bags, coffee, glad wrap, kids toys, plenty of tea towels etc - all the things you usually don’t get)

Fantastic house in an incredible location!
From the beginning jacqui was such a pleasure to deal with and was so accommodating with our requests. Throughout the process all instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Jacqui would have to be the best host i have ever dealt with, with any house stays, so thank you. The house was very clean, good linen etc and all amenities that is needed is provided. Such an incredible location, so peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in winter which was lovely but it would be fantastic in summer with all the extra activities. Thanks so much jacqui and phil we cant wait to come back another time 😊
