The Neighborhood:
Busselton is the popular beach town at the gateway to the iconic Margaret River Wine Region (see final paragraph for a more detailed insight into the region). Just 2.5 hours away from Perth, and within easy driving distance from popular hotspots Dunsborough (15 minutes), Yallingup (20 minutes) and Margaret River (30 minutes), this is the perfect location to explore everything our region has to offer. The best news? You don't have to visit Margaret River township to enjoy some of the most famous and world class wine, as there are dozens of cellar doors to choose from, all the way down the Cape. The nearest cellar doors to Broadwater are just a 10 minute drive away, and include some of the more "off the beaten track" options for those wishing to explore smaller cellar doors, including Lentedal, Blind Corner and Mongrel Creek, as well as the better known Flametree. All produce fantastic wine, and provide different experiences for the oenophiles out there. Don't worry if wine isn't your bag, as Busselton is also home to two fantastic tap rooms - Rocky Ridge and Shelter Brewing Co. Don’t forget to visit the beautiful foreshore and famous Busselton jetty, the longest in the Southern Hemisphere!
Abbey is a quiet beachside enclave, located on the far Western side of Busselton, close to Vasse. Its perfect location on the edge of town means that it enjoys long stretches of pristine beach, without any crowds. A small community of local businesses has popped up here, most notably the ever-popular Claudio bake house, producing a mouthwatering array of pastries and other baked treats, including their famous focaccia sandwiches ("pinsa"), freshly baked daily by artisan pattisiers. There is also a fish and chip shop and a bottle shop (BWS), with a big Coles and the Vasse Farmers Market just a 5 minute drive away at Vasse Village. Benefit from town amenities and convenience during your stay, while enjoying a serene beachside holiday next to the calm, crystal waters of Geographe Bay.
It's not just about summer here, despite its popularity thanks to the glorious weather; all year round, even when we may be less blessed with warm days and sunny skies, visitors can enjoy hikes, biking, surfing, off-roading, horse riding, cave tours, water sports, fishing, wine and beer tasting, and generally eating and drinking one's way around the area! Visit in spring to catch the whale migration and wild flower season, or in autumn to enjoy quieter beaches and excellent surf.
Please see the Guidebook for our personal recommendations on where to eat, drink, shop and what to see & do in this fabulous region. This list is by no means exhaustive, however, so please get in touch if you need any pointers ahead of your stay.
The Margaret River Wine Region is one of the most prestigious winemaking areas in the world. Considered a “boutique” region, production is relatively small and quality-focused. The unique microclimates and fabulous soils here mean that producers are able to make some of the world’s best Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with a host of other single varietal and blend wines; most wineries will have a good selection of options, including various sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz if the flagship varieties aren’t your cup of tea. Many of these wineries are also home to phenomenal restaurants, and your dining options will range from full tasting menus to casual pizzas or grazing boards. If you have any particular restaurant on your wish list, we strongly recommend booking ahead all year round. In peak summer season (December-February), bookings are essential and may need to be made several weeks or months in advance. Please contact us directly if you would like tailored recommendations for your self-guided winery and/or brewery tour. If you have time, we highly recommend buying a ticket onto one of the many locally operated winery and brewery tour buses, for an unforgettable day out of excellent food and drink.
Getting Around:
Busselton is very easy to get around, thanks to a network of bike and footpaths. The main path runs all the way from Dunsborough to Busselton, mostly along the beachfront - in this case, it runs right past the front of the house. The area is very flat, meaning that it is easy to get around on foot, bike or scooter if you choose. Guests will need a car to explore the surrounding area (Margaret River region) independently, but there are a number of local charter companies offering wine, brewery and a number of adventure/wilderness tours.
