We just adored Mel's place on the canals. The house was gorgeous although we spent so much time on the huge deck watching the swans go by. We ate in every restaurant in Dolphin Quay which were almost on the doorstep. Lovely apartment in a wonderful location that had everything we need overlooking WA's own little Venice. I thought I knew Mandurah but this location on the canals feels a world away from what you would imagine for the city. Will go back for sure
