For beaches: If you're looking to ride the waves while in Busselton, then you'll want to stay close to the shoreline or anywhere along or near Marine Terrace.
For shopping: For all the shopaholics looking to spend some cash, Queen Street is where you'll want to be. Shops line the streets so you can spend a couple of hours or the whole day.
For nature or hiking: Walking trails and camping sites are easily found in the area, with the Locke Nature Reserve near Caves Road giving you plenty of exploration options.
For family-friendly activities: We recommend checking out the Eco Park which is located a short 25-minute drive from the Busselton city centre.
Where to stay in Busselton for cheap
Holidaying in Busselton doesn't have to cost a fortune. Sites like Airbnb, Home Exchange or HomeAway offer homes for around and under the $100 mark. If you're trying to save a few extra dollars we recommend looking for properties that have fewer bedrooms (sofa couches work great), no pools or spas and that are located further from the shore.
Splurge on your Western Australian getaway with a more luxurious holiday home. Things to look out for include outdoor entertainment spaces, beachside properties, spas or pools, extra beds and complimentary extras such as wines. You can find these types of stays on HotelsCombined, Airbnb and Flipkey.
Where to stay in Busselton for pet-friendly accommodation
No need to leave your furry friends at home or with a friend, because these are the sites that have pet-friendly properties. You'll want to be looking at stays that have larger backyards, secure fences and possibly near beaches or parkways. Stayz, Booking.com and Airbnb are the top sites to find yourself pet-friendly homes.
Is it legal to stay at a holiday home in Busselton?
Currently holiday homes aren't open for bookings, however you can book for the future.
What do I need to bring to a holiday home in Busselton?
If you're staying in Busselton then we recommend packing a few things. For the beach, packing towels, snorkeling equipment, bathers and beach bags will go a long way.
With a bunch of hiking and camping opportunities, we suggest packing comfortable walking boots, refillable water bottles and a mini stove for coffee, mulled wine and cooking or heating dinners. Some grounds do have cabins.
What should I consider when I'm staying in a holiday home in Busselton?
Busselton is the perfect coastal town for your summer holiday and these are the things we recommend you keep in mind when booking. The weather can get quite hot so ensuring your stay has air-conditioning will make your trip a lot more comfortable. A few extras to keep in mind include pools to keep you or the kids cool, and with a lot of homes including large entertaining spaces with incredible views, we think an outdoor barbeque will come in handy.
How do I get to my holiday home?
The easiest way to get to Busselton from Perth is via car, as it's a 2.5-hour drive. In this case you'll want to ensure your holiday home has adequate parking. You can also take public transport from Perth, that includes a train and bus (or just via bus). The journey will take approximately four hours. Once in Busselton you can take a taxi or rideshare cab to your home or possibly walk depending on the distance.
