Your go-to itinerary for eating, sipping, exploring and soaking up the best of Busso.
Planning a weekend in Busselton? Consider this your insider’s guide to the top spots locals love. From iconic experiences to delicious eats, chill-out beach time and the perfect place to stay.
Kick Off With an Icon: Busselton Jetty
Start your weekender with the most famous landmark in town, the Busselton Jetty. Stretching 1.8km over sparkling Geographe Bay, it’s the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.
Stroll all the way to the end, hop on the Jetty Train, or head down into the underwater Observatory for a peak at the colourful world below the surface.
Fuel Up at Baked
After the jetty, wander into town and treat yourself at Baked. Home to buttery pastries, killer donuts and some of Busselton’s best coffee. It’s the perfect pit stop before or during a day of exploring.
Beach Time, Busso Style
No Busselton weekender is complete without time on the beach. Stake out a patch of soft white sand, go for a swim in the calm bay, or hire a paddle board and float the afternoon away. The water is crystal clear and perfect year-round.
Long Lunch at The Goose
Head back to the foreshore and settle in for lunch at The Goose. With unbeatable ocean views and a menu full of fresh, seasonal dishes, it’s a favourite for relaxed long lunches. Order a cocktail, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the classic Busselton breeze.
Golden Hour at Shelter Brewing Co.
As the sun starts dipping, make your way to Shelter Brewing Co. Known for great beers and an even better sunset view, it’s the ideal end-of-day hangout. Grab a tasting paddle, tuck into a share plate and watch the sky turn gold over the bay.
Explore the Magic of Boranup Karri Forest
For your second day, take a scenic drive into the Margaret River region and experience the spectacular Boranup Karri Forest. Towering Karri trees, dappled light and that fresh forest air make this one of WA’s most breathtaking nature spots. Wander the trails, pull over for photos, or simply slow down and soak up the silence.
Journey Underground at Lake Cave
Continue your adventure with a visit to Lake Cave, one of the region’s most beautiful and dramatic limestone caves. Descend through sunken forest into a crystal-filled chamber where a still, mirrored lake reflects delicate formations. It’s serene, surreal and a must-see during your Margaret River loop.
Wine & Wander at Aravina Estate
After your nature-filled morning, head to Aravina Estate for a well-earned winery experience. Surrounded by manicured gardens and rolling vineyards, Aravina serves up incredible wines and a stunning outlook. The kind of peaceful atmosphere perfect for a long, lazy afternoon.
Stay & Play at BIG4 Breeze Holiday Parks – Busselton
