Question 1

Is Gnarabup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Gnarabup is a small beachside locality in the Margaret River region, set around a sheltered bay with a sandy beach, rocky reefs and coastal limestone that give the foreshore a rugged, natural feel. It is largely a low-rise pocket of holiday homes and permanent residences tucked into dunes and coastal scrub, and it appeals to people who favour surfing, swimming, rock-pooling and long coastal walks. The Cape to Cape Track runs nearby and the suburb links to the wider region by Caves Road, making it easy to reach Margaret River’s cafes, wineries and services while enjoying a relaxed, outdoors-oriented seaside lifestyle.

About 525 people live in Gnarabup; the median age is 43 and the typical household income is $2,137 a week, roughly $111,124 a year. Families make up the bulk of households and most homes are owner-occupied. The suburb is the focus of ongoing coastal management work, with a foreshore management plan and actions such as weed control, revegetation, sand nourishment and landscaping at the White Elephant reserve. Whether Gnarabup suits you comes down to whether a small, outdoors-oriented beach community fits what you want.
