From luxury abodes and architect-designed marvels, to romantic hideaways and beach shacks by the shore – Private Properties has been providing the perfect backdrops for unique, unforgettable experiences since 1994. We’ve spent 30 years perfecting the art of holidaying in Western Australia – we started Private Properties when hardcopy brochures were a thing and the internet was nothing but a dream – and are proud to say that while plenty has changed, one thing has continued to stay the same: our dedication to bringing you the best holiday experiences through exclusive, quality holiday homes and local, personable service.
This magazine is an ode to our diverse collection of quintessential WA holiday homes, which boasts some of the best designs, settings and locations in the state. We hope you enjoy browsing through these one-of-a-kind properties, and one day get to make them your home-away-from-home.

Suddenly 30
Private Properties has been at the forefront of premium short-stay accommodation since 1994. Join us as we reflect on three decades of success and look ahead to the future.
The foundation of a remarkable story is always its setting – exceptional homes, in outstanding locations. At Private Properties, we’ve been providing the ideal environment for exceptional holidays for over 30 years.
As one of Australia’s longest-established providers of luxury short-stay accommodation, we continue to lead the market with our portfolio of carefully curated properties.
Our journey began in 1994 as a boutique property management company based in Cottesloe, Western Australia. The 1990s were a simpler time – before the rise of social media and online booking platforms. In the early years, our primary marketing efforts relied on printed brochures. Yet even then, our focus was clear: to offer guests access to homes in extraordinary locations, where they could experience something truly special.
The world has changed dramatically over the past three decades, and so has the accommodation industry. From the advent of the internet to the rapid proliferation of short-stay platforms, Private Properties has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of our guests. Embracing new technologies, navigating the short-stay rental boom, and weathering global disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic, have tested our resilience. Through it all, our commitment to excellence has remained steadfast.
Today, Private Properties is widely recognised as the premier provider of luxury short-stay accommodation in Australia’s South West. With a portfolio of exclusive homes we continue to deliver exceptional experiences for both homeowners and guests alike. Our properties are unique because of their individuality; from design to décor, every detail is carefully considered to create a unique experience for our guests. These homes are exclusive to us, and by extension, exclusive to our guests.
What sets Private Properties apart from other accommodation providers is our relentless attention to detail. Properties that are well-designed, wellappointed, and possess an individual character are essential to our offering. It’s about more than just a place to stay – it’s about creating a memorable

experience that guests can only have with us. This philosophy has guided the company’s growth and shaped the way we approach both property management and guest services.
As we reflect on the past 30 years, we extend our gratitude to the homeowners who have trusted us to manage their properties, the guests who have chosen us time and time again, and our team members whose dedication has made all of this possible.
We are proud of what we’ve accomplished, and excited for what the future holds. Our commitment to providing exceptional properties, personalised service, and unforgettable experiences will continue to guide us as we look ahead to the next 30 years.

Create your own story
Discover Private Properties’ diverse range of holiday homes, inspired by Western Australia’s natural environment, designed by the state’s best architects, and curated with your wants and needs in mind.
It’s not often you get the chance to peek behind the doors of grand old abodes, award-winning architectural homes and houses full of character, but with Private Properties, instead of peeking, you can actually live on the other side of the door. That’s thanks, in part, to the exclusive access we give you to Western Australia’s most unique home stays.
To us, our homes offer the perfect blueprints for enriching, inspirational holidays – the ones that elevate your getaway, fill you instantly with childhood nostalgia or leave you with unforgettable memories that last forever. As such, a lot is considered before a property becomes a Private Properties holiday home.
Firstly, they’re located in destinations that we live in and love, like the beautiful Margaret River Region, a playground for lovers of surf, sea, forest and great cuisine; and the wild and rugged Great Southern, home to wide-stretching coastline and towering trees. Secondly, they’re exclusively ours. We are the sole caretakers of these inspirational places, and as such, you won’t be able to book them with anyone but us. Thirdly – they’re unique. How? Well, that comes down to how they’re built, where they’re located, their style or simply because we know they’ve got a good story to tell. And finally, each home imbues a sense of escapism, romance or adventure, through breath-taking locations, luxurious design and personal touches that reflect the personality of each home’s owners.
