Plied and Prejudice

Saturday, 30 August & Sunday, 31 August | 4:00pm & 7:30pm

Perth, it’s time to get Plied! Due to overwhelming demand, the sell-out comedy sensation Plied and Prejudice has extended its run Downstairs at The Maj for a final season. Forget the stuffy Jane Austen you know! This version sees five actors hysterically scrambling to play twenty characters, with one performer getting spectacularly “indisposed” each night. Ensuring no two shows are ever the same. After completely selling out its first five weeks, it’s a must see before it closes for good in October.

90s vs 00s Bottomless Brunch at The Aviary

Saturday, 30 August & Sunday, 31 August | 11:00am

Grab the girls and settle the score between the 90s and the 00s. Head to The Aviary’s rooftop this Saturday or Sunday for their throwback Bottomless Brunch. Kicking off at 11:00 am, this nostalgic showdown includes two hours of free-flowing cocktail jugs, wine and beer. Plus a brunch item of your choice. It’s the ultimate excuse to dig out your best double-denim or velour tracksuit and party like it’s 1999 (or 2009).

A Night with Vanya at Small Print

Saturday, 30 August | 6:00pm

For a truly memorable evening this Saturday, secure your place at A Night with Vanya at Small Print. This intimate dinner offers the rare opportunity to dine with one of Australia’s most visionary winemakers, Vanya Cullen of Cullen Wines. You’ll be treated to a thoughtfully crafted four-course menu where each dish is perfectly paired with Cullen’s premium biodynamic wines. Including the iconic Diana Madeline Cabernet Sauvignon. Vanya will personally guide you through each pour, sharing stories of sustainability and her winemaking journey. Making it an unforgettable experience for any lover of great food and wine.

Walyalup Fremantle Tennis Ball Exchange

Saturday, 30 August & Sunday, 31 August | 10:00am – 5:00pm

For a wonderfully weird and interactive experience this weekend, head to the Fremantle Arts Centre for David Shrigley’s latest exhibition. The Walyalup Fremantle Tennis Ball Exchange is an ever-changing installation where the concept is simple. Bring an old, used tennis ball and swap it for a brand new one straight off the gallery walls! Become part of the artwork as the display gradually transforms from pristine yellow spheres into a collection of unique, well-loved balls from across the community. This playful take on art is completely free, you get a pin badge for participating and it’s a perfect outing before the exhibition closes on September 7th.

The post What’s On This Weekend in Perth! appeared first on Perth Vibes.

Take a Peek Inside the Villas

A stunning 360° wood-burning fireplace sits at the heart of the villa, fully stocked with firewood and ready to light the moment you arrive. Paired perfectly with a complimentary bottle of local wine that awaits in the fridge. Along with a king bed, perfectly positioned so you can watch the sunrise without lifting your head from the pillow by simply reaching for the remote to open your blinds and welcome in the morning light. A wall-mounted TV with complimentary Netflix can be rotated for bed viewing, should you want a lazy movie day tucked in. Finish off your day with a bubble bath in the deep freestanding stone tub set beside full-height glass windows overlooking the lake.

Soak Up the Serenity Outside

Each villa is set to showcase nature, not neighbours. Offering uninterrupted views over forest and water with complete privacy. From your expansive private balcony watch storms sweep across the lake, see the stars appear in crystal-clear skies and if you’re lucky witness the Aurora Australis. The enclosed, angled balconies ensure you can enjoy the outdoors year-round, sheltered from rain and wind.

Built to exceed Australian standards (2024 winner of four WA Master Builder Awards, including best in class), each villa features solar passive design, double glazing and premium soundproofing. Smart orientation means the villas are naturally warm in winter, facing away from the prevailing winds and positioned to soak in the soft northern light.

How to Spend a Day at Edge Luxury Villas

Start with a freshly brewed coffee from your villa’s Smeg machine and step onto your private balcony to watch the mist lift from the lake. After cooking breakfast at your villa’s well appointed kitchen, explore the 20 acre old-growth forest that borders the villas. Be on the lookout for kangaroos and visiting flocks of endangered black cockatoos, as well as native orchids and wildflowers from late winter into spring. Continue your walk around the lake, taking in the quiet beauty of the trees reflected in the water and cross the signature timber bridge, handcrafted by the owners. Beach towels are provided for those who want to take a dip into the pristine lake, followed by a steamy rainwater shower with glass-fronted views back over the water and forest.

And of course, visiting a few cellar doors is almost mandatory when you’re in the Margaret River Wine Region. With some of the region’s most iconic wineries just minutes away (two cellar doors are literally a one-minute drive from Edge), wine tasting couldn’t be easier or closer. Be sure to return to your villa to catch golden hour best enjoyed from your balcony hammock with a glass of wine and perhaps a cheeseboard. The lake turns to glass, mirroring the evening glow amongst the clouds. As night falls, the bridge and island gently light up. With no city lights nearby, stargazing here is incredible.

Nestled in Nature

Explore the lake, the flowing creek and the entire natural landscape. See if you can spot all the species of water birds, kangaroos, native marsupials and flocks of black cockatoos soaring overhead. If you’re lucky you’ll even catch a glimpse of a rainbow stretching across the lake. Offering a rare kind of immersive luxury, the chance to slow down, watch nature unfold and feel deeply connected to the land. All while staying warm, comfortable and surrounded by beauty.

Much of this thriving ecosystem is thanks to the owners’ long-term dedication to conservation. Over the years, they have planted thousands of native trees and worked to regenerate and protect the natural environment. Edge is proudly part of the Land for Wildlife Scheme and this commitment has helped transform the property into a rich sanctuary for native birds, mammals, reptiles and native flora.
