There's loads of things to see outside the Busselton city centre-and even more outside the town itself (if you've ever been to Western Australia, you know what we mean). Hire a car and shout 'Road trip'!
If you're coming from far away, you'll probably fly into Perth Airport-so why not stick around Perth for a while? Airport transfers can take you to your hotel in Perth CBD, and from there, getting to Busselton is a breeze once you're ready.
You'll fly into Perth Airport (PER), about 230km north of Busselton. Hiring a car the easiest way to get from there to here, but you'll also have public transit options. Head to Mandurah and hop on the 380 bus. Done and done!
Don't forget to bring a camera; there's lots here you'll want to remember. Whale watching is a magical experience, and the underwater observatory is one of only a few in the world. Also bring:
If you're planning on staying in Busselton itself during your stay, it's easy to walk between the pier, the beach, and the cultural attractions, hotels and restaurants of the town centre. If you're looking to explore further afield or visit out-of-town attractions like Wonnerup House, then it's easy to book a taxi in town, or jump on one of the local buses which serves the area. Renting a car is the best option for longer coastal road trips.
The region around Busselton and the Margaret River is famous for its great weather. That's why it's a top destination for surfing and winemaking. If you're keen to hit the beach, visit in the summer: December has an average temperature of 27 C. If you're looking to go hiking in the forest, the cooler months might be better, though it never gets too cold, with average winter temperatures around 18 C.
Busselton has 'Mediterranean conditions', which means it's pleasant year-round.
Busselton is nice and compact, so you can use your own two feet to get from the pier to the shops and restaurants in the centre of town. However, when those toes get tired or you want to explore even further, you can hop on the local bus service. It'll even take you to Margaret River, if you hear the wine calling.
The jetty attractions, forests and ocean adventures mean Busselton is extremely family-friendly. This makes it a popular place in the summer and during school holidays. Does that make it the best time to visit Busselton? Well, that's up to you, traveller. The warm summers also lend themselves to sipping wine and exploring out on the water, but honestly, Busselton is nice any time of year.
Busselton is well-known for the longest piled jetty made of timber in the Southern Hemisphere. The Busselton Jetty itself has several other attractions, including the Jetty Train and the Underwater Observatory, where you can head 8 metres underwater without even getting wet! It's also a great home base for exploring all the wonderful wines of the Margaret River Region and the area's unique state forests.
