Situated 17ks from Perth CBD and next to the ocean you’ll find Sorrento. Here you'll find an eclectic mix of housing ranging from the odd remaining fibro shack, dating from the 1970s, to present day, state-of-the-art, million dollar mansions. Many older properties still represent good value for an Oceanside suburb so close to the city.

Sorrento has numerous parks and is serviced by the Seacrest Village Shopping Centre. A 5 minute drive will take you to Whitfords City where you will find a large shopping mall, fast food outlets, a cinema and the local Medicare office.

Hillarys boat harbour is located 2 minutes along the coast, with marina facilities, shopping, restaurants and cafes, waterslides and kids rides and a fantastic beach for those will small children. The ferry to rottenest Island leaves from here too. The next beach along from Hillarys (Whitfords) has an animal exercise beach and a large beachfront park with playgrounds and bbq’s.
