With its distinctly Mediterranean feel, Marina Da Gama’s white washed homes conform to approved architectural design guidelines to create a charming village atmosphere. The views across the lake’s banks are beautiful, and the reserve is teeming with bird life and is home to many endangered species. Enjoying extra hours of late afternoon sun thanks to a break in the mountain range, the climate is mild and sea cooled.  Summers are dry, winters moderate and spring and autumn are cool and fresh for walks along the lake.

The suburb has a limited number of controlled entrance points to create a secure and family-friendly area, and homes range from modest starter to larger family and top end luxury homes.  Appealing to first time buyers, families and retirees, Marina Da Gama’s community is friendly with residents often dropping in to visit each other by boat.  Commuters enjoy its position and 35 minutes’ drive to the city centre, and it’s also a favourite with younger professionals who work at the nearby Capricorn business node.
