Father’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the dads, step-dads, grandads and all the father figures who make life that little bit easier each and every day. And while socks and a Bunnings voucher never goes astray, some dream a little bigger – of a shed to tinker in, a garage for all the toys or even a private putting green to perfect his next shot.
With Father’s Day only days away, we’ve found eight homes available on reiwa.com (at the time of publishing) that feature the kinds of spaces dads dream about.
From man caves and movie rooms to boats at the back door, there’s something for every dad’s wish list.
Where projects come to life
Offers above $1,199,000
This Byford home comes with space for the whole family, plus a serious bonus for dad. While the kids enjoy the pool, retreat or even shoot hoops on the basketball court, dad can escape to the 10m x 6m powered workshop with three-phase power and a thickened floor, perfect for a hoist or heavy projects.
Where the competition begins

If dad’s idea of a perfect night in is a few rounds of pool by the fire, this South Perth Tudor-style manor delivers. The dedicated games room is rich with character – timber beams, jarrah floors and a classic fireplace – setting the scene for countless family tournaments or quiet evenings with his mates.
King of the grill
From $2,100,000
If dad is a whizz in the kitchen or out on the BBQ, this coastal entertainer will be his happy place. The outdoor kitchen is his stage – boasting a built-in BBQ, pizza oven, fridge and storage, all flowing seamlessly to the pool and vegetable gardens.
Lights, camera, recliner
Early $2,000,000’s
If dad loves his movies, this home has him covered. Behind double doors lies his private theatre, complete with projector, screen and plush recliners for that true cinema feel. He can dim the lights, sink back and enjoy the big screen in his own space – no ticket required!
For the ultimate car enthusiast
$10-12 million
This home has indulgence at every turn, but its basement garage is his dream come true – space for eight cars, plus a cellar and games room alongside. While the rest of the family enjoys ocean-view living and the resort-style pool, dad can admire the collection or escape to his own retreat below.
His waterfront playground
From $2,650,000
For the dad who belongs on the water, this Mandurah canal home puts the estuary at his back door. A private jetty with power and water makes heading out on the boat or jet ski effortless, while the oversized garage takes care of all the other toys. This home turns weekends into holidays without ever leaving the front door.
Dad’s quiet retreat
Offers invited
Not every dad dreams of grease and gadgets – some prefer a quieter space. This art deco Coolbinia home offers a study/library framed by rich timber panelling and built-in shelving, perfect for stacking books or setting up a stylish bar for entertaining.
His own backyard fairway
13 Chantilly Circuit, Meadow Springs
Buyers Over $979,00
This Meadow Springs home is a hole-in-one for dads who love their golf, thanks to a private putting green out back. Whether he’s fine-tuning his short game before hitting the course or just enjoying a few putts after work, it turns the backyard into a place to play, not just relax.
