Located in the heart of Busselton, Portal Coffee is a grab-and-go spot known for its specialty brews. Founded by seasoned barista Aaron McInnes, this café brings a slice of specialty coffee culture to the area.

For something casual but full of flavour, Mano Wraps is an easy winner. This laid-back eatery serves fresh, generous wraps, salads and crepes with Middle Eastern and French influences - think slow-cooked meats, crunchy pickles, and zingy sauces. It’s the kind of place you go for a quick bite and end up wanting seconds or returning to sample a different filling the next day. Great for kids too, with shaded outdoor seating. Gluten free.

Overlooking the Busselton Jetty, The Goose is a beloved all day dining spot among locals. After a fire a few years ago, it has been rebuilt and continues to offer a menu featuring salmon eggs benedict for brunch and wood-fired pizzas for dinner, all with stunning ocean views. The menu is a blend of classic brunch and pub fare (but a little bit fancy!) and sophisticated seafood dishes and charcuterie boards. A beautiful place to soak in the WA sunset!

The onsite Camp Kitchen is spacious and well-kept if you’re cooking at the park, and there’s a small kiosk for those last-minute essentials.

No visit to Busselton is complete without a stroll along the iconic Busselton Jetty. Stretching 1.8 kms into the clear waters of Geographe Bay, it's the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. You can walk or take the charming train ride to the end, where the Underwater Observatory provides a glimpse into the vibrant marine life beneath the waves.

Located at the foot of the Busselton Jetty, Shelter Brewing Co. offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy locally crafted beers and delicious meals. With its spacious venue and ocean views, it's an ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

For a taste of the region's renowned wines, visit Flametree Wines (2 mins drive from the Park). Situated on the picturesque shores of Geographe Bay, this winery offers a relaxed and informative tasting experience. Sample their award-winning selections and perhaps take a bottle or two back to your accommodation.

For a more serene experience, explore the Ludlow Tuart Forest. As one of the last natural tall Tuart forests in the world, it's a tranquil spot for a leisurely walk or picnic amidst towering trees and diverse wildlife.

The office closes at 5pm, so if you're arriving late, it's best to contact the park in advance to arrange after-hours check in. Also, Busselton fills up fast over school holidays and long weekends, so it’s wise to book early if you’ve got specific dates in mind.
