There’s nothing quite like the feeling of moving into your new home. Once you’re settled in, it’s exciting to step outside and discover what’s now on your doorstep. With the weather starting to warm up, here are our top suggestions for how to spend your weekends or the upcoming school holidays.
From day trips to the beach to backyard picnics, spend some time ‘screen free’ and enjoy the amazing location you now call home.
Beach day out
Nothing says Summer quite like a long day at the beach. Pack your beach towels, umbrella, snacks and of course suncream, and you’re ready for the day.
A refreshing dip or a splash along the shoreline with the young ones, then perch yourself up to read a book, listen to a podcast and build the biggest sandcastle of the day! When you’re a Claravale resident, a half an hour drive will have you pulling into Kwinana, Rockingham or Coogee Beach. Explore the Omeo Wreck or walk the boardwalk and enjoy an ice-cream. The day is yours!

Backyard picnic
You’ve just moved in and may not want to leave your brand-new home! Some of the best things in life are the simplest, and we think a backyard picnic is fun for all. Spend time planning or baking together and preparing snacks in your new kitchen, then enjoy them with some tunes on, a blanket out and some backyard games at the ready. This is something all ages can enjoy, plus you can admire the beauty of your new backyard.
National Park hike
We are spoilt for choice with many of Australia’s most beautiful National Parks here in WA, with Claravale surrounded by some of the best Perth has to offer. From Wungong National Park, Midgegooroo, Bungendore and Roley Pool Reserve, you’ll never be short of something to do, see, walk or run! Spending some time out in the fresh air is the perfect way to clear the mind on a work day or enjoy more time exploring and meandering on weekends. Plus, a 45 minute drive will have you admiring some of Perth’s most stunning views and beautiful walking tracks.

Local dip
For those long and hot days when it really is too warm to be active outside, why not head to the local aquatic centre? Just a 10-minute drive will take you to Armadale Fitness and Aquatic Centre, where you can buy day passes and enjoy the different pools for all family members. Featuring five pools, a wellness suite and water play for the kids, this is a great way to get involved in your local community, and stay cool. Now, where are the goggles?

Home cinema
Whilst we’ve suggested gettingout and about to explore your neighbourhood, sometimes a lazy Summer afternoon calls for a movie at home. Claravale homes provide the opportunity to turn one of your rooms into a home theatre, or perhaps a kids playroom is better for your needs. So choose your movie, get comfy and enjoy some time under the aircon.
Summer has never looked so good in a Claravale home. From exploring your local Hilbert neighbourhood to family time enjoying your new home, start the year off on the right foot and call Claravale home today!
