Kalbarri’s Real Estate and Tourism Boom

With over 100 short-term rental properties and counting, Kalbarri Escapes is growing faster than ever. Investors are recognising Kalbarri’s rising property values and high-yield potential in the tourism market.

Kalbarri has faced challenges, from COVID-19 to Cyclone Seroja, but I truly believe in the town’s long-term potential as a premier Western Australian holiday destination. Property prices have already risen 12.5% in the past year, and I see so much opportunity, not just in traditional real estate, but in developing new tourism infrastructure, boutique accommodation, and high-quality visitor experiences.

Kalbarri Escapes is more than just a booking site, it is a deeply connected holiday accommodation collective, curated with care, passion, and a healthy dose of local know-how. These handpicked properties stretch across the spectrum of stay; think big family homes with multiple zones, waterfront properties within metres of the Murchison, family-friendly resorts with pools, playgrounds and BBQ’s and pocket-friendly apartments ideal for travellers on a budget. Comfort, style, and that laid-back Kalbarri character come standard.

When you book direct with Kalbarri Escapes, you skip hidden fees from 3rd party bookers, and keep more holiday cash in your pocket – up to 20% more, in fact. That’s money better spent on fresh seafood at Finley’s bush pub, sunset cruises on the Murchison, or maybe just another round of ice-cream by the foreshore.

Ready to experience property management the Contessi way?

Hi, I’m Raelene Leatham, Property Manager at Contessi Kalbarri.

Having navigated a diverse and dynamic career journey, I recently obtained a Bachelor of Communications and Interactive Multimedia with expertise as an IT instructor while at Edith Cowan University.

Also serving as an Executive Assistant at CREATEC, a prominent research center affiliated with the university.

In 2016, my husband and I ventured into entrepreneurship, acquiring Murchison Boat Hire in Kalbarri. While my husband managed his welding business, I also explored various part-time roles. However, unforeseen challenges arose with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting their relocation to Dampier along with their boat hire enterprise.
The aftermath of Cyclone Seroja prolonged our stay away from Kalbarri.

Now resettled in Kalbarri, I channelled my broad skill set into supporting the Sales Team at Contessi Kalbarri, leveraging social media platforms to amplify the brand’s presence. Then moved on to obtaining my Property Management certification, and have loved transitioning into the role of Permanent Property Manager.
