The original 1858 cottage and its 1940s addition were restored in 1973, and are generally in good condition. The roof of the barn was never replaced and now the barn is in very poor condition. It was solidly constructed; however a great deal of the fabric has been lost, including the stolen roof sheeting, roof framing and floor structure. While approximately 50% of the walling has collapsed, a great deal of the stone is extant on site.

Constructed from 1858, Constructed from 1940
The dwelling is significant for the following reasons: Historically the homestead is of importance for its association with pioneers John Wellstead and John Hassell. It is believed that the house was built by Wellstead about 1870 on his homestead block there and later was included in John Hassell’s pastoral lease. Hassell used Quaalup as an outstation of his Jerramungup property and for some years, c. 1890’s, his sheep on that part of the lease were shorn at Quaalup. The stone shearing shed no longer remains. Restoration has been carried out sympathetically and the building remains as a good example of the use of local materials and early methods of construction. Situated near the mouth of the Gairdner River and adjacent to the Fitzgerald National Park it is important in the environment.
Quaalup Homestead Group, near Bremer Bay is a property of 15.47 hectares located close to the Gairdner River. The property is one of a small number of adjacent lots that are in private ownership within the Fitzgerald River National Park. Quaalup Homestead Group, near Bremer Bay, comprises a single-storey quartzite stone house with a corrugated iron roof (1858, 1940), the remains of a quartzite barn (1858-70s) remains of cottage (date unknown), livestock enclosure (date unknown) and grave (1927).
