MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT!
Whether you’re visiting from around the world or a local looking for a staycation, you should make the most of Busselton while you’re here.
Get your tan on at the beach, walk the 1.84km to the end of the jetty (and back), and stay at our favourite places; here’s what we reckon you should get up to while you’re in town.
WHERE TO STAY
WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT BEERHALL
-
Shelter Brewing Co.
The brewery on the Busselton Foreshore, so close to BEERHALL you could jump in.
-
LS Merchants
Take a trip to Cowaramup to taste some of the best of the South West at the cellar door
-
Credaro Estate
The Yallingup cellar door is well worth a stop for the beautiful scenery and beautiful wines.
-
Rocky Ridge Taphouse
Our favourite other brewery in Busselton. A non-stop pipeline of limited release beers that never miss. Taste the rainbow at the taphouse.
-
Little Ottos Big Choc Shop
The sweetest spot in town! Little Otto’s has more house-made choccy and gelato than you can imagine.
-
Jibbas
Feeling saucy? Do you like it hot? Head to Jibba’s for what is definitely (probably?) WA’s biggest selection of hot sauces, all made by the man himself.
-
Banksia Tavern
Some of the best food in town, friendly service, and an epic drinks list. A favourite spot for locals.
-
The Goose
The only place in Busso closer to the water than BEERHALL! Great food, great drinks, and great views.
-
The Fire Station
A Busselton institution at this point. Pull up for a few bevvies on a sunny arvo, nothing better!
-
Tonic by the Bay
Tonic is nestled in the perfect shady spot by the beach west of the town centre. A hidden gem!
PLAY
-
The Beach
Our beaches are pure perfection. Bring a snorkel and jump off the jetty to check out the underwater statues or have a splash, relax and prepare yourself for a big day at BEERHALL.
-
The Jetty
Jump on the train and check out the underwater observatory at the end, or stretch your legs and take a long walk on a long jetty.
-
The Par 3
Mini golf or big golf, take your pick. This shaded sanctuary is a hidden gem. Not many better places in town to sink a few beers.
-
Swan Dive
If you like getting deep underwater book a snorkel or SCUBA adventure with Swan Dive before BEERHALL.
-
Bring the bike
If you like going off-road, some of the region’s best trails are just 25-35 minutes away in Dunsborough, Cowaramup, and Margaret River.
-
Whale Watching
August to November is peak whale season Down South, as humpbacks and blue whales migrate through Geographe Bay.
-
Forest Adventures
Forest Adventures is a high rope adventure course park located in the beautiful Tuart forest 10 kilometres north of Busselton.
-
Koomal Dreaming Cape Cultural tour
Learn about the Boodja (country) of the Wadandi people through their eyes and learn about the Noongar seasons.
Travel

-
Busselton is pretty metropolitan these days, there’s a few Ubers floating around, but if you want to book a taxi for the trip home try South West Taxis
-
There’s plenty of parking around the foreshore and town, but make sure you have a sober skipper behind the wheel!
