Nautica Residences by Seashells doubles short-stay accommodation offering with new Hillarys apartments

Nautica Residences Hillarys.

Hillarys Harbour Apartments on Perth’s Sunset Coast have been renamed Nautica Residences Hillarys, following Nautica Residences by Seashells taking over management of the short stay accommodation in April.

This addition to Nautica Residence’s portfolio doubles the brand’s short-stay accommodation listings in less than a year of launching.

Seashells Hospitality Group CEO Gareth Thomas said the WA-owned organisation launched the Nautica Residences brand in July 2021 with 24 apartments in Fremantle.

“In less than a year we have a combined total of 50 apartments under Nautica management in Fremantle, Mandurah, Scarborough and now Hillarys – all sought-after locations for leisure and business travellers – and capacities have been strong,” he said.

“We recognised a gap in Western Australia’s short-stay accommodation market.

“Nautica Residences is a managed apartment service that suits owners who prefer to have more access to their own property and be less restricted when they require it for their own use.

“It combines the best of both worlds for owners – professional management by Seashells Hospitality Group which has 25 years’ experience in WA’s serviced apartment market, and catering to individual owners’ specific needs, allowing ‘set and forget’ arrangements for short stay use.

“Our properties are staffed in reception, which not only provides guests with personal service but also provides owners with the added security of our eyes and ears on the ground.

For many years Seashells has enjoyed a strong position in domestic and international tourism marketing and Nautica Residences owners are also advantaged by this,” Mr Thomas said.

Nautica Residences Hillarys is located on the water in the vibrant hub of Hillarys Boat Harbour.  Guests enjoy modern two and three-bedroom apartments and a couples spa suite, onsite reception, swimming pool, secure undercover parking and most have views across the ocean or marina.

Nautica Residences General Manager Ben Chenery said Nautica Residences Hillarys was proving popular for staycation visits, for families making the most of the close proximity to Rottnest ferry departures, AQWA Aquarium of Western Australia and beachside holidays.

“The apartments are light-filled and spacious and as such we get regular bookings for people relocating to WA and needing temporary accommodation,” Mr Chenery said.

“Providing a variety of apartment styles appeals to a range of budgets and travelling styles, and we focus on providing a positive guest experience.

“Guests receive personalised service and we have just upgraded our Hillarys guest WIFI.

“Prices at Nautica Residences Hillarys range from $180 to $319 per night in our two-bedroom apartments and we also offer long stay rates. Apartments are fully self-contained, and all have outdoor spaces to relax. Full mid-week servicing is included for stays of seven nights or more.
