Western Australia Road Trips

Heading South? Make Busselton Your Perfect Coastal Stop

Travelling south from Geraldton or exploring Western Australia’s stunning Coral Coast before heading into the South West?

Busselton is one of the best places to break up the journey.

Located along the calm shores of Geographe Bay, Busselton offers relaxed coastal charm, wide beaches, cafés, and the iconic Busselton Jetty — the longest timber jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s the ideal stopover before continuing to Margaret River, Dunsborough, or further south.

If you’re looking for comfortable, centrally located accommodation in Busselton, The Busselton Motel is a fantastic option for travellers heading south.

• Easy access from the highway
• A flat, walkable foreshore

It’s a destination in its own right — not just a stopover.
