Allandale

Once the home of Mandurah canning industry pioneer Louis Dawe, Allandale is a lovingly restored, limestone abode that continues to age gracefully along the Harvey Estuary’s shore.

The Property

Built in the early 1900s, the now four-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home has been upgraded to suit the wants and needs of the 21st century traveller.

Inside, find a mix of country-contemporary furnishings that complement the home’s original limestone exterior. Little nods to the home’s 100-year-old lineage – a stained glass “Allandale” window sits above the front door and copies of old canning labels and photos from the Dawes family album sit proudly on rendered and limestone walls – can also be found throughout the homestead, which still has the same idyllic, uninterrupted view of the estuary it had when it was first built all those years ago.

The Surrounds

Set on 3.5 acres of rolling lawns, direct access to the water and with its own tennis court, Allandale presents a dreamy, historic homestay for lovers of history, architecture, nature and idyllic relaxation.

Just south of Mandurah, Allandale feels like a secluded getaway — yet you’re only minutes from local attractions. Golf lovers can tee off at The Cut, a championship course just around the corner, while beachgoers will find calm waters and a café at Falcon Bay.

Venture into Mandurah for a relaxed foreshore stroll, shopping, or dinner overlooking the water. The local food scene is thriving, with coastal cafés, craft breweries, and local eateries offering everything from fresh seafood to small-batch brews. Whether you’re chasing nature, nostalgia, or a good flat white, Allandale places it all within easy reach.
