Reviews of Mindarie, WA

"Between the devil and the deep blue sea"

Mindarie is perfectly located far enough away from the city to forget about work, yet close enough to major shopping hubs so that no convenience is out of reach. The crowning glory is of course the ocean side location with beautiful parks, beaches and amenities (such as the marina) from which to enjoy it from. From Mindarie and the surrounding area there is no shortage of places to eat. From fine dining to takeaway and a large number of delivery options, as well as a famous specialty gourmet shopping experience that has to be seen to believed (Basils), Mindarie has got you covered and then some. Easy to get an Uber? Check. Easy to get public transport? Check. And easy access to the freeway is just a few short kilometers away. For me though, it's all about those amazing sunsets over that never ending ocean.

"Good location"

I was drawn into the location and the house prices have dropped a lot so some great deals available. House we liked at was near Marmion so traffic noise was constant especially at peak time. The biggest problem for us was the high school option.......check into it first. If we brought we would have to pay private school fees. Safe for adults but would be worried about my high school children walking about.

Great for

  • Clean, tidy suburb

Not great for

  • Poor school options

Hi. We are looking buying a house in Mindarie (Clarecastle Retreat - at the end of the rd. right near the ocean) and would value your opinion. Did you buy in Mindare, are you happy there etc?

Have lived in many parts of the world, but none compares to Mindarie. Peace and quiet, close to the beach and easy access to public transport and the Freeway. Just stunning

"Peaceful haven with lots of ameneties"

We have lived here for 6 months now and love it. We have lived in many places around the world over the last 10 years and now we are back in Perth. Mindarie is world class. It is close to good shopping, pubs, restaurants and the train to the city is about a 30 mins journey. The freeway will be here soon too which will make Mindarie even more well connected. There are Beautiful walks along the coast, lovely little secluded beaches, a marina and the residents are so friendly and easy going too.. Not many places in Perth that you can access the coast without crossing a major road. For a lot of Mindarie residents, the ocean or bay is just a short stroll. Brilliant place to live.

Hi. Are you still very happy in Mindarie. I love the look of it, especially near the ocean, but have had a lot of negative feedback.

We have lived in Mindarie for fourteen years now, and the time has flown by. Having lived in Bayswater, and Wanneroo, Mindarie drew us to build our forever home. It's just far enough from the city, but close enough on the train. There's little road noise, only the sound of the waves overnight during the weekdays. Weekends are very busy with many folk visiting the Marina complex, then parking is limited. If you enjoy your own family life and are not needing to live your neighbours lives, and theirs yours, Mindarie is a very lovely suburb, especially the Wharf precinct, close to water. The local schools have good reputations, while the schools utilise Quinns beach and the Marina for paddle boarding, swimming, and beach sports. There is also a swimming enclosure at Quinns. The suburb is well kept and the Marina Hotel complex provides good venues for casual dining and entertaining.

"Stunning coastline just not a very diverse culture."

Beautiful natural coastline of some of the most stunning endless beaches. This is great if you dont work as Mindarie is too far from the city and other commercial areas for professionals, The people are very nice however this suburb is not diverse culturally and does not depict a true Australia with not many different nationalities like you see in other areas.
The high school options are limited somewhat with most parents sending their children to third rate private schools costing $$$$ for what many good public school offer for free....I lived here for 12 years and chose to move closer to the city, love coming back to see that gorgeous sunsets, although not much good if it takes you an hour or more to get home from work as you will never see the sunset. Maybe a good place to retire .

"Coastal suburb with all amenities"

Coastal suburb about 50 kms north of Perth. Good quality homes, schools. Lovely beaches and coastal walks. Only 5 mins to train station and Freeway access. It has a lovely Marina that has 2 pubs, restaurants and a small hotel. Have been living here for 17 years and love it. Everything you need and all within 5 mins. Main hospital located in Joondalup about 10 mins away.
