FOR more than 20 years The Cove Indian Restaurant has established itself as an icon on Perth’s food scene, and having a landmark location has played a big part in that. But now The Cove is moving on and its beautiful and historic venue in Alfred Cove is awaiting a new generation of restaurateur to…

THIS Maylands home has one of the most intriguing street names – Sopwith Elbow. The bend in the street explains the elbow bit, but is Sopwith a reference to a vintage plane or the old Maylands airstrip where the first non-stop flight across Australia landed in 1928? It’s one for the history buffs and psychogeographers,…

IF you’re a soccer fan, buying this Perth apartment should be your number one goal.

But in recent years there has been a reappraisal of the suburb, which has undergone a bit of a cultural renaissance…

THIS Highgate property is a heritage stunner. From the leadlight windows to the jarrah floorboards, every turn is met with a piece of stylish history. The Voice’s favourite room is the formal lounge which has a gorgeous period fireplace, high ceilings and a set of leadlight French doors. Light streams in through the towering windows,…
