It’s the ideal time to slow things down, settle into a true home away from home, and take a drive along the coast. If you’re ready for a change of pace, we’ve mapped out a three-stop winter escape – starting with Scarborough, winding through Mandurah, and finishing in Yallingup.

Scarborough

Scarborough in winter feels different – in the best way. The summer crowds soften, the ocean turns deep and moody, and the foreshore becomes a place to wander rather than rush.

Base yourself at Seashells Scarborough, just steps from the shoreline, with spacious, self-contained apartments designed for easy coastal living. Mornings are made for grabbing a coffee from Little Wave and heading out for a long beach walk, while afternoons invite a sauna session at Alchemy Saunas or a long lunch at Brighton Wine Bar. And come Saturday, the Scarborough Sunset Markets continue through winter – offering street food, local makers, and acoustic music and entertainment.

Mandurah

Your next stop is Mandurah, where calm waterways and easy days go hand in hand. It’s a good place to get out on the water, wander the boardwalk, or spend a few unhurried hours around Dolphin Quay and the marina precinct.

Settle into Seashells Mandurah, where the ocean is on your doorstep. Beyond the water, Mandurah is full of scenic finds and local favourites. Spend the day exploring Thomas Dambo’s larger-than-life wooden sculptures, known as the Giants of Mandurah, or duck inside for a rainy-day visit to Boundary Island Brewing or All Malt Brewing. Travelling with kids? Make a splash at the Mandurah Aquatic & Recreation Centre or catch a show at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.

Yallingup

Your final stop is Yallingup, and it’s well worth the drive. Winter is a great time to head south, with dramatic scenery, cellar doors and quieter days that make the trip feel like a proper escape.

At Seashells Yallingup, spacious apartments and wide balconies overlooking the Caves House heritage gardens give you plenty of room to unwind. From here, it’s an easy walk to Yallingup Beach, where you can take in incredible shoreline views, or head further out to explore the dramatic boardwalk at Canal Rocks. Spend a morning underground at Ngilgi Cave, with its Ancient Lands Experience making it a great outing for the whole family, then keep the day going with whale watching from the coast or a drive to Dunsborough for a Naturaliste Charters tour. Nearby cellar doors like Aravina Estate and Swings & Roundabouts make it easy to settle in for a relaxed winter tasting, with good food, welcoming spaces and options that keep the kids occupied too.

Why wait for summer? The WA coast is calling, and our spacious apartments are the perfect base for your winter retreat. Whether you’re staying for a night or settling in for longer, we’re ready to welcome you.

Seashells will bring its renowned expertise and established, trusted brand to the development, which will be known as Seashells Jurien Bay and is anticipated to open in April 2027 on Australia’s Coral Coast.

Located a scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive north of Perth, Seashells Jurien Bay is set to become a landmark property in this emerging short break destination.

The resort will feature 108 premium residences, including 77 three-bedroom townhouses and 4 One bed Suites managed as short-stay accommodation by Seashells, and 27 four-bedroom Bay View, Casuarina Crescent, and Hastings Villas, all designed for sustainability, luxury, and lifestyle.

Jurien Bay Resort Pty Ltd Managing Director Thomas Tierney said he was excited about the partnership.

“Seashells is a best-in-class hospitality management group with a strong reputation for delivering exceptional guest experiences,” Tierney said.

“Their established customer base will ensure strong rental returns for owners of our townhouses and suites under the Seashells brand.

“Additionally, owners of our 4-bedroom Bay View and Hastings Villas will benefit from full flexibility for personal or rental use, providing a tailored approach to meet diverse buyer needs under the Nautica Residences by Seashells brand. With projected rental yields of 5%–7% annually for the townhouses, this partnership provides both lifestyle benefits and a compelling investment opportunity.”

Seashells Hospitality Group is known for its award-winning properties in Scarborough, Mandurah, Yallingup and Broome, along with Nautica Residences by Seashells in Hillarys and East Fremantle. The organisation brings more than three decades of experience managing premium tourism accommodation and luxury homes.

Seashells Hospitality Group Managing Director Paul King said the Jurien Bay development provided great appeal.

“Seashells Jurien Bay is a perfect complement to our portfolio of premium West Australian coastal properties,” King said.

“Being just 2.5 hours north of Perth makes it an ideal destination for weekend getaways and short breaks to explore the natural beauty of the Turquoise and Coral Coasts.

“We’re thrilled to bring our expertise to this visionary ecologically sustainable development, which offers a unique blend of luxury, sustainability, and accessibility for families, couples, and investors.”

Jurien Bay Resort Pty Ltd Construction Director Michael Lonergan said the partnership was a long time in the making.

“The builder we have selected brings cutting-edge, low-maintenance finishes, with all construction carried out locally to support West Australian industry and jobs.

“This ensures the residences are built to the highest standards of quality and durability. By partnering with Seashells, we create a seamless pathway from construction to operation.

“On building completion, owners will enjoy a smooth transition into the Seashells management pool for leasing, supported by a proven system that delivers strong occupancy and returns. This approach provides owners with a truly stress-free, turnkey investment experience, ensuring their property is well cared for and positioned for long-term success. This alignment guarantees that quality, sustainability, and guest experience remain at the heart of the development long after completion.”

The milestone event, held in the property’s lush tropical gardens, was attended by property owners, executive team members, tourism and hospitality partners, and loyal guests who have been a part of Seashells Broome’s rich journey over the past two-and-a-half decades.

The award-winning property officially opened in 1998, and has since become one of Broome’s favourite leisure accommodation providers. Recent upgrades to the swimming pool – the property’s centrepiece – as well as Reception, and technology upgrades have ensured the property remains fresh and appealing.

In his speech, Owner and Managing Director Paul King reflected on Seashells Hospitality Group’s humble beginnings, which began with a simple concept ‘seashells by the seashore’. After establishing Seashells Scarborough in 1994, Paul visited Broome on a family holiday and quickly fell in love with Broome – a multicultural melting pot, renowned for its tropical weather, stunning coast, relaxed atmosphere and unique character.

“Our first trip turned from three days to five, and after returning for a second visit in the same year, we negotiated to buy this block of land, now known as Seashells Broome,” Paul said.

“I’m elated to celebrate this anniversary with our valued team, guests, owners, and industry partners and thank you all for contributing to our ongoing success.”

Paul also paid tribute to Seashells Broome General Manager Deb Williams who marks 17 years in the role this year.

The property’s timeless design reflects Broome’s classic Broome architecture – a nod to traditional pearling master quarters, blending colonial and Japanese styles and featuring timber, corrugated iron and lattice. The property was designed by Lloyd Pickwell of CMP Architects, who subsequently designed Seashells Mandurah and Yallingup, and it was built by Broad Construction.

Broome musical royalty Steve Pigram adding a special tropical vibe to the celebration with an acoustic performance.

Sunset drinks were provided by Spinifex Brewery, Bunkers Wine, and Smallwater Estate and guests indulged in a delicious array of culinary delights from Zookeeper By Spinifex, as they enjoyed the charm of twilight.

The donations will be used by Department of Communities to support Fitzroy Valley residents in medium to long term accommodation or provided to flood-impacted homes across the 39 remote aboriginal communities in the region and Fitzroy Crossing township.

Department team members helped to wrap and store the mattresses, filling four sea containers.

Seashells General Manager Deb Williams said, “I’ve worked for Seashells for 16 years and the last big cyclone was Cyclone Rosita back in 2000.

“The community all got together then too, and we seemed to get over that one quickly once the water had cleared out.

“This one is different because we have whole communities cut off – it’s very hard for people,” she said.

Deb got in touch with Communities along with a local transport company, and put on extra staff to pack and move the mattresses.

“We were replacing our mattress stock anyway, and we thought what better way to make use of them than to donate to those who need it the most once their accommodation is ready and they are able to get back home,” said Deb.

Dean Wilson Transport loaned four shipping containers and Communities staff spent the morning wrapping and stacking them ready for transport.

Kimberley Regional Executive Director Renee Gioffre said supporting the community in partnership with other businesses and agencies was critical to help affected residents and businesses get back on their feet as the recovery phase progressed.

“It’s great to see local businesses supporting the community, and thinking of ways they can help out.

“We are very grateful to Seashells for reaching out with the offer of these mattresses which is very much needed.

“With logistical challenges associated with transporting goods by air and road, this is a great help and will be much appreciated by residents who may have extra family staying with them while their homes are being repaired,” she said.

“It’s hard to know where to look when staying at these luxe, self-contained apartments (one, two or three bedroom) and beach villas at Comet Bay. On the one side, there’s the hustle and bustle of Dolphin Quay and the Mandurah Ocean Marina, while the Indian Ocean stretches out in the other direction. Then there’s also an infinity pool on-site vying for your attention, not to mention all the in-house facilities pitched at leisure travellers looking for the pleasures of (temporary) life on the coast with all the mod cons. And when night falls, the surrounding city twinkles.”

Seashells Hospitality Group Managing Director Paul King said the awards were testament to a long term commitment to guest experience and high service standards.

“Seashells Broome and Mandurah have long been favourites with families and couples wishing to have a home away from home with space and luxury to relax and unwind,” he said.

“Being acknowledged at this level after the most challenging 18 months in business proves the resilience and commitment of our team and their desire to create special memories for our guests.
“I must also acknowledge our loyal guests, many who return each year to make memories at our properties,” he said.

Seashells Mandurah ticks all the boxes for an easy and relaxing escape. The 4.5-star property is perched on the shores of Comet Bay, and its fully self-contained 1, 2 and three-bedroom apartments and villas deliver understated style, space, sophistication and enviable views.

Families, couples and business travellers enjoy a heated infinity swimming pool, direct beach access, tennis court, BBQ area, meeting facilities and easy access to the Marina’s day spas, cafes, restaurants and shopping.

Seashells Broome is an oasis for travellers, enveloped in lush tropical gardens just 300-metres to stunning Cable Beach.

The property features a choice of 4-star fully self-contained 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom bungalows. At its heart is a large outdoor lagoon swimming pool and paddling pool with stylish outdoor furnishings. Gardens include guest barbeques and playground.

Each inviting and thoughtfully-designed apartment includes spacious living areas, well-appointed kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and balconies.
