Hotels near Vasse River Delta Bird Hide, Busselton

Room 11 was not renovated & we felt let down. The lounge was placed at the end of the queen bed & trying to watch TV seated on the lounge resulted in having to turn one's head to see the screen high up on a side wall. Very poor room design in this regard. The shower recess was very dirty: mold on tiles & the drain needed a good dose of bleach. The towels we were given were tatty and worn - should have been disposed of years ago ! The outdoor area could have been cleaned from cobwebs and dirt . The outdoor tiles could have been cleaned as well. The figs all over the driveway were hazardous & this area should be swept on a regular basis. Likewise, the gazebo was unkempt and didn't entice one to sit there & relax. The front verge badly needed mowing and the community newspapers that were littering this area needed to be disposed of. This motel is in a beautiful position - within walking distance to the beach - but it appears that little is done to enhance the property and ensure that guests are appreciated and made to feel welcome. If the owners paid a little more attention to detail this place could be a winner. Would not return but hopefully the owners will take these suggestions on board and give the place the due care it deserves, along with their patrons.

The observatory guesthouse is in an absolutely fantastic location. We were able to walk to and fro the Brewery for dinner as well as the waterfront and of course the famous Busselton jetty. The price was including continental breakfast and the place was sparkling clean. There were lots of extras making a special touch. Easy checkin and checkout. Very good communication with the management.

First time staying at the ship inn, please be aware that they take money out of your credit card 24 hours before you arrive but they say it’s in their terms and conditions! Well it’s not on your confirmation email does not state that at all! During this pandemic I have never come across a hotel that takes your money before you arrive, we have travelled a state of W.A. for the last year when the borders are open and I believe all hotels take the payment when you arrive due to the fact if the borders get closed it’s too messy to do all the refunds. Secondly the rooms are self-contained a very nice apartments but the downfall is because it’s right next door to the pub you get the young ones about 11:30 pm to about 1:30 pm yelling fighting in the car park on a Friday Saturday night so make sure you request a room away from the car park, they should’ve put double glaze windows in and insolation in the walls I would never recommend anybody to stay here on a Friday or Saturday night. Food of the restaurant was nice and not too expensive the service well not as good as what I expected, I ordered a house red 250 mil glass I handed a $20 note over she handed me six dollars back after I realised the next day that that was a very expensive glass of house red. Check out is at 10 but they cut the internet off at 8 am ! House keeping came on the Saturday and they didn’t do a thing no making of beds, no filling up of milk, no fresh towels nothing! I think the staff need to be trained a bit they don’t seem to care about their customers when I checked in it was just like I will that’s our terms and conditions it’s not your terms and conditions it’s not written in a confirmation email we are in a pandemic everywhere do not take anything out of your credit card and to you arrive otherwise there’s a lot of credits going back into peoples accounts which can take up to months as we’ve seen with travel agents and airlines. Would I stay here again would I recommend it the answer is no even though the location was perfect they just don’t seem to have that nice friendly touch or even care it’s all about the $$$$$ I have sent off two emails on Friday to 2 different email addresses and by Sunday I still not had an answer to my emails not very good customer service, so my advice would be to think very hard about staying here.

Would have been 5 stars in all categories, but they failed to service our room on one day. The location is superb, next to Shelter Brewery and the Jetty.

Well set up appartments with all the necessary things to either cook yourself o re-heat and enjoy. Comfortable, clean and tidy. Very handy to explore the Margaret River Wine region without the extra cost. Handy to shopping and restaurants for those of us who decide a holiday does not mean cooking too. Great place to stay.

It's very convenient and quite private. Each room has its own private parking space. The parking spaces for even-numbered rooms are basically at the door of the room. If you want to eat, you can drive to the city for 7 minutes. The hotel also has a restaurant. If you want to eat pizza at the hotel, it is recommended to drive to the domino to buy it. The price/performance ratio is not bad in this small town.

Absolutely fantastic accomodation, perfect for our family Christmas. The accomodation was comfortable and clean and spacious. The location was great and the facilities very adequate. Five days just wasn’t enough. The only negative was the internet, it wasn’t even possible to read our digital newspaper or make use of the smart TV’s.

Last time there I gave them the benefit of the doubt. This time however, nothing had changed, it was horrible! Three vertical blinds were missing in the suite, Air conditioner not working properly and no paperwork to show how to fix; No menu for restaurant - had to go down to reception to get them to print one off for me; no towels provided on second day, Spa Bath was unserviceable as pain in bath was flaking; mattress on the bed appeared to have collapsed on one side and made sleeping on it very uncomfortable; Had a meal in our room on the first night (Caesar Salad); this was terrible and the parmasan cheese was cheap tin cheese and hard as a brick. When we checked out we attempted to pay with cash. This they refused stating that the motel was cashless. They then charged me a surcharge for using a card. RIP OFF! They have seen the last of me. Recommend that all should avoid the Abbey Beach Resort. It is very second rate and the service and facilities are shocking.

Dragged the caravan (The anchor)out of mothballs after 12 years and decided on Busselton for our test run from Perth. An easy cruise along the highway with no big hills or tiny, bendy roads. 2 adults. Powered, ensuite site. 5 nights Chose RAC Caravan Park Busselton for the ideal location (and member discount). It's only 10 minutes from Busselton township for regular shopping stuff. We've stayed at Busselton previously so didn't need to be close to tourist stuff. The location made the trip to Margaret River and other South West tourist spots that bit closer and quicker when driving. The park itself was ideal. Off peak season so it wasn't crowded. Of the ammenities we used, they were all kept well maintained and clean,tidy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Loss of Hot water was quickly resolved with a gas tank change. There seems to be lots of stuff to keep kids occupied. Hint.. if you book an ensuite site, they are all reverse in parking. Ask for an even number. This puts your caravan door next to the ensuite door
