Jellybean Manor

Jellybean Manor is an artistic bed and breakfast guest house in Joondalup, Perth, designed for guests who want their stay to feel distinctly different from a standard hotel. The house combines a whimsical, colourful interior with spaces for rest, romance and creative work. Accommodation includes several themed rooms, while the property can also be used for photography and content shoots. The owners welcome Australian photographers, artists, film-makers and content creators, with props, backdrops and a range of visually detailed settings available around the house.

The accommodation is centred on three named guest rooms. The Emerald Queen is the most private option, with its own bathroom and toilet, a private courtyard garden and access to the spa facilities when booked as the premium service. Flower Princess and Moon Garden are midweek rooms with a shared guest bathroom; both accommodate up to two guests and include access to shared areas such as the lap pool, balcony and alfresco space. Breakfast is served daily for guests, and the site lists options including eggs and bacon or granola and fruit.

There is plenty to explore beyond the bedrooms. Listed facilities include a 12-metre lap pool, jacuzzi spa, infrared sauna, outdoor shower, gym, private courtyard, sunset balcony and an outdoor entertaining area with dining. Some rooms include a fridge, microwave and tea and coffee facilities. The property also lists a wood fire for seasonal use, a poolside daybed, garden spaces and views towards the ocean; the website says the Indian Ocean and white sand are a three-minute walk away. Guests should check the booking conditions carefully, as some facilities are room-specific and other visitors may be staying in the house at the same time.

Jellybean Manor was created by owners Glenn and Kellyjoy, who moved into the property in 2016 and undertook a seven-year rebuild and extension. Their approach combines recycled and upcycled materials with bold colour, antique pieces, stained glass, painted details and themed rooms. Couples can book a romantic break, while the site also mentions best-friend and mother-daughter retreats, family stays and whole-house bookings. Creative visitors can also enquire about photography sessions with Glenn, who offers model portfolio, brand, family and baby shoots, using full-frame cameras, studio lighting, props and backdrops. It is a particularly suitable choice for guests drawn to unusual interiors, playful photography locations and a more personal guest-house experience.
