Private Properties: the art of a shared holiday

It’s the kind of destination that makes it easy to reconnect with nature, with family and friends, and with the simple pleasure of taking things a little slower.

At Private Properties, shared holidays have become something of an art form. Their collection of luxury homes across the Margaret River Region is designed around togetherness, whether it’s multi-generational family escapes, milestone celebrations or weekends away with friends.

“The Margaret River Region is a destination surrounded by nature – beautiful settings that nurture slowing down, gathering and connection,” their team explains. “There’s quite literally something for everyone, which makes it the perfect choice for shared holidays.”

And while the region itself is unforgettable, having the right home base often becomes just as much a part of the story.

Ocean views and easy living at The Oystercatcher

Perched above the coastline in Prevelly, The Oystercatcher is an expansive coastal retreat designed for shared moments.

Multiple living spaces allow guests to gather in different ways, whether that’s lingering over breakfast on the balcony, sharing sunset drinks on the rooftop terrace, firing up the barbecue for a relaxed alfresco dinner, or settling in for a family games night with the ocean as a backdrop. Wherever you find yourself, the views are never far away.

Days here naturally unfold around the coast. Morning swims, beach walks and afternoons exploring the region’s wineries, breweries and attractions are all within easy reach, before returning home to watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean beside the outdoor firepit. It’s the kind of place where the best moments happen simply by being together.

At Private Properties, the team often finds it’s the quieter moments that guests remember most. “It’s usually the little things like cosying up by the fire, playing board games or simply enjoying being out in nature that stick with our guests,” they explain.

And Ginahgulla Olive Estate seems tailor-made for exactly those kinds of memories.

Set amongst olive groves and surrounded by nature, the estate offers a completely different pace. Watch the kangaroos visit at dawn and dusk, wander amongst the Mediterranean-inspired landscape, or settle in among the artful interiors filled with original artworks, sculptures and antiques. Spend winter evenings gathered around the beautiful stone fireplace, while away sunny afternoons beside the recently added swimming pool, or retreat to the Japanese-style outdoor bathtub off the master suite for a moment of pure tranquillity.

It’s the kind of place that allows you to slow down, switch off and savour time together.

The ‘happy place’ called Cooinda

Cooinda, meaning ‘Happy Place’, captures the balance of a Margaret River Region holiday beautifully.

Perched high above Yallingup, this contemporary coastal sanctuary embraces its sweeping Indian Ocean views from almost every corner. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw the landscape inside, and the outdoor spaces invite guests to soak up the beauty of the region, whether that’s from the rooftop balcony, the plunge pool, the dining terrace or a quiet spot overlooking the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.

With world-class beaches, wineries and natural attractions all within easy reach, Cooinda offers something increasingly rare: a holiday where nobody has to compromise. Instead, everyone gets their own version of a happy place.

Space to truly unwind at Farm Break

Farm Break is the kind of place that makes it easy to switch off and settle into holiday mode.

Set across 180 acres overlooking the turquoise waters of Bunker Bay, and one of the few Private Properties homes able to accommodate up to 12 guests, this expansive retreat offers the space and freedom that multi-generational holidays dream of.

Days here unfold at your leisure. Follow the property’s private nature trail to the beach for a morning walk, challenge the family to a game of tennis or a round on the private par-three golf course, then return for a long lunch overlooking the lake and surrounding bushland.

Designed to embrace its spectacular setting, Farm Break creates a seamless connection between indoors and out. It’s truly a place where lasting holiday traditions are made.

More than just a place to stay

“At Private Properties, we’ve always believed that the right holiday home doesn’t just shape an escape, it is the escape,” the team says.

And in a region with so many diverse activities and attractions on offer, having a beautiful place to return to makes those moments even more meaningful.
