"Moved from over East"
Recently moved to Secret Harbour from Melbourne only 6 months ago and we have fallen in love. The suburb is clean, green and well maintained. The beaches are beautiful and it's not hard to find yourself a nice quite area on the beach alone. There is also a dog beach for our fur babies. The local shopping centre has a Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. Among many other shops like jewelers, cheap shops, newagency, AusPost and more. Check out Secret Harbour butchers - amazing produce! There is a Dan Murphys here too and a McDonalds. Anything else you need you can find near by in either Rockingham or Mandurah. Fishing is great close by at surrounding suburbs. Our son attends Comet Bay Primary school and so far so good. He settled in excellently and his teacher is amazing. Overall it's a safe and friendly neighborhood and we love it!

"Secret Harbour - Theres a reason we keep a secret!"
Secret Harbour is one of the best kepy secrets in WA. It has beautiful beaches that dont get too busy, great for surfing - you do need to make sure you understand the ocean if you are planning to swim in Secrets becasue there can be strong rips. There is a great surf life saving club thats always looking for extra members, fantastic new shopping centre. Great schools in Comet bay primary and High. Hopefully there will be a train station soon! Highly recommend checking it out - feel free to call me Martina Berry Director Professionals Rockingham [email protected] or 0432367281 if you are looking to move to Secret Harbour

"Great community spirit and the beach on your doorstep!"
We moved to Secrets 2.5 years ago, choosing it for its location (bang inbetween Rockingham and Mandurah, both of which are great places to visit and full of tourists in summer), its beach lifestyle, competitive house prices and the little high street with restaurants, bars, salons, etc. (not many places over here have high streets).
Since moving here we've been relieved to discover that the schools (that we'd prayed were good) are, in fact, excellent... that the people are lovely and friendly (lots of Poms here!) and the area is as safe as you're going to get for a town of over 12'000 people (we've had a few incidents over the years but most of the offenders weren't local and we were merely the unfortunate target of their criminal endeavours). The shops are great (the mall is a great place to escape the summer heat), there are a few beaches (1 patrolled, 1 for dogs and 1 (near us) mostly quiet and devoid of people so you have the place to yourself), health facilities (doctors x 2, dentist, hair & beauty parlours, alternative therapy / massage establishments, etc.), community centre with rhymetime for kids and health visitor appointments for babies, a park and playground around every corner (the new one at the surf club is fantastic), lots of BBQ areas (all of which can be found on the GrillSeekerApp) and of course our world-class golf resort - Secret Harbour Golf Links. It meanders through the suburb and has some houses backing onto it (the Spyglass Hill area). The community spirit in this area is fantastic - from supporting people who've gone through bad times or suffered at the hands of criminals (not a common occurrence, hence why when it does happen it's such a shock), to organising fundraisers for the victims of the 2019/20 bushfires....
We found this place by accident (we'd actually decided on somewhere NoR but came south at the last minute, just to rule it out!) but now we wouldn't be anywhere else. We prefer SoR as it's cooler (by a good few degrees!), quieter with less traffic, and also it's closer to the awesome Margaret River region. If you want to see kangaroos you need go no further than Karnup Road (near Stakehill Winery) or Lakelands, in an enclosed area of bushland opposite the houses near the lake. We get the odd snake, as does everywhere over here, but a quick post on the residents' page will have a snake catcher at your doorstep in a jiffy! Oh, and on the subject of the local residents' page... take what you read with a pinch of salt because some people have too much time on their hands and like to whinge (usually the Aussies rather than the Poms though, strangely enough!).
So come visit our lovely suburb and see why it's been kept such a 'secret' from the rest of the world ;-)

"More negatives that positives"
I worked for a number of years in Secret Harbour as a relief teacher. Firstly, the two primary schools in the area are nothing to write home about. They both classify as underperforming when compared to similar schools. The high school is rough as guts and many of these kids hang around Mc Donalds and the shopping centre during the day AND night. If you don't like teenagers, stay away because Secret Harbour is teeming with them! And for those people saying no hoons? There was a double fatality not that long ago as a result of hooning.
"Beautiful coastal town!"
Leafy and green, gorgeous beaches, perfect family suburb.
We moved here 2 years ago and absolutely love it here, our family settled very fast after making the move here from over east.
Some really lovely family run businesses and our kids love the local primary school they attend. The new foreshore playground is great fun we have everything we need close by.
