Moored on Sanctuary

Discover your own private haven on Sanctuary with our fully equipped floating apartment. Perfect for couples or small families, it captures all the magic of a houseboat—open decks, water views and snug cabins—without you ever needing to steer.

Moored beside Malloy Island, our Sanctuary location sits 20 minutes from town by dinghy. True to its name, it’s the ultimate hideaway for fishing, crabbing or stretching your legs on nearby bushwalks.

When you’re ready for a change of pace, Margaret River’s acclaimed wineries await just 30 minutes upriver, while the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse makes for a memorable day trip. From wine tastings to forest hikes or dolphin-spotting on open water, your next adventure starts here.
