    Description

    Our family is lucky to call Busselton home — a vibrant part of Western Australia’s South West, just a short drive from the world-famous Margaret River region. We’re surrounded by stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the kind of coastline that makes every sunset feel like a postcard. We live near the lively Busselton Foreshore, where you’ll find the iconic Busselton Jetty — the longest in the southern hemisphere — plus plenty of free community events throughout the year.

    There’s always something to do here: hiking the scenic Cape to Cape Track, swimming, paddleboarding, or catching waves along the coast. We’ve got two teenagers and a tween, and as a family we love keeping active, playing sport, diving into board games, and relaxing together with a good TV show.
