Book NowAbout The Shorehouse
Perched right on the Swanbourne shoreline, The Shorehouse pairs uninterrupted Indian Ocean horizons with serious coastal dining. Grab a seat on the sunlit deck under the yellow-and-white umbrellas—or take an indoor booth when the breeze rolls in. The kitchen leans hard into local Western Australian seafood and flame-kissed plates from its Josper charcoal oven. Regulars make a beeline for the house-smoked butter on fresh bread before digging into the prawn and crab linguini, roasted pumpkin side, and market fish. Come golden hour, wine lists skew regional, servers pace long lunches without rush, and the table settles into easy conversation over chilled rosé.
- Front-Row Ocean Views: Direct deck and indoor booth seating overlooking uninterrupted Indian Ocean sunsets on the Swanbourne coast.
- Josper-Fired Coastal Seafood: Prawn and crab linguini, market fish, and flame-licked plates crafted via an in-house Josper charcoal oven.
- Effortless Milestone Dining: An attentive floor team that keeps group birthdays, anniversaries, and long lunches flowing smoothly.
