When to visit

The best time to visit Busselton is during the spring months of September to November when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. Summer (December to February) is also popular for beachgoers, but it can get crowded. Winter (June to August) is the low season, but visitors can still enjoy indoor attractions and wine tasting tours. Avoid visiting during the school holidays in April and July if you prefer a quieter experience.

Getting around

Busselton is a compact town that can easily be explored on foot or by bicycle. Rental cars are also available for those looking to venture further into the surrounding Margaret River region. Public buses and taxis are limited, so it's recommended to have your own transportation for convenience. The Busselton Jetty Train offers a unique way to experience the iconic jetty and waterfront area.

Traveller tips

Don't forget to pack sunscreen and a hat, as the Australian sun can be strong even on cloudy days. Make sure to sample the local seafood, including fresh fish and chips from the Busselton Jetty. Take a scenic drive along Caves Road to explore the stunning caves, vineyards, and beaches of the Margaret River region. Book accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure the best options. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as dolphins and kangaroos when exploring the natural surroundings.
