Cosy home in Busselton

We were delighted with this property! It was immaculately clean, cosy, homely, spacious, and well equipped. The large garden was an added bonus. The location was ideal for strolling to the foreshore and enjoying all that Busselton has to offer. We definitely recommend this property.

Leavers

I booked this house for my daughter and 5 of her friends for Leavers this year and they really enjoyed their stay. The house is beautifully set up, easy walking distance to the shops, beach/jetty and also the official Leavers bus stop! Leanne is a pleasure to deal with and checked in on the girls daily. I would highly recommend this property for any family or group looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay anytime in Busselton.

Better than we thought possible!

The house was a home away from home with lots of extras we didn’t expect. 3 TVs, charging ports, and even a throw rug on the lounge to keep you warm, were all a nice surprise. The beds and lounges were all good, comfy and supportive. The house was large and really clean with a place for everything. Walking distance to town and close to everything the region has to offer. We are looking forward to booking again!

A home away from home

This was our second visit to this place and it was as perfect as we remembered. The location is excellent, walking distance to the beach, to the shops, doctors. The house is amazing, the garden is huge! The dogs had a ball. I ended up getting sick and so spent most of the time indoors, moving from one comfy couch to another, watching Netflix and looking out of the large glass windows or sitting in the garden. At night one can hear the waves from the ocean. It was just lovely. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Busselton Central Holiday Homes

Host profile image
Hello. Welcome to Busselton. I have lived here for 35 years, raised my children here, worked here, looked after my retired and elderly parents here, and now look forward to making your stay here just wonderful. I grew up in the Eastern Wheatbelt of Western Australia, and understand how important a holiday by the seaside can be for some families. Busselton has much to offer, and if you choose to travel a little you can enjoy a day in Dunsborough, Margaret River, Augusta, Nannup, Capel and Bunbury with all the region has to offer. I am easily contactable if you do need to do so. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Why they chose this property

The house is so close to the centre of Busselton, and yet the street is quiet. The shops are conveniently located at the end of the street, a very short walk to get your groceries. I endeavour to keep the house exceptionally clean for my guests. The house has a lovely big secure yard for all your family to play too.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this property because of the location, the size of the back yard, and after putting my decorating touches on it I feel you could not find a better place to stay in Busselton!
