The Neighborhood:
Cape View Beach Resort is a quiet, relaxed resort right on the beach, in the suburb of Broadwater, on the West side of Busselton. Busselton is the popular beach town at the gateway to the iconic Margaret River Wine 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 there are numerous local operators offering winery and brewery bus tours. For the beer lovers out there, Busselton is also home to two fantastic tap rooms - Rocky Ridge and Shelter Brewing Co. Broadwater is located on the Western side of Busselton, and enjoys a quieter beach and boat ramps thanks to its suburban position. Benefit from town amenities and convenience during your stay, while enjoying a serene beachside next to the calm, crystal waters of Geographe Bay. Don’t forget to visit the beautiful foreshore and famous Busselton jetty, the longest in the Southern Hemisphere! 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:
Visitors to the region will need a car to get around, as public transport infrastructure is practically non-existent in the region. Having a car means visitors can make the most of a visit to the South West, and experience the true diversity of this spectacular area. However, for those keen to explore Busselton and keep driving to a minimum, the property is well located to do so. Guests can walk to the beach and the local shops, and walk (along the foreshore ~8km), cycle or drive into town, to visit the jetty, shops, restaurants and breweries. The resort is located in Broadwater, a quiet beachfront suburb of Busselton. There is a bike and footpath that runs along the shoreline into Busselton (or all the way to Dunsborough in the other direction!) Guests can bring bikes and scooters, or hire these locally - some local hire companies will deliver the bikes to your accommodation. Busselton and Dunsborough are also part of an e-scooter initiative. Broadwater Shopping Village provides the closest amenities, under a 5 minute drive away (5 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk). This small shopping centre is home to some lovely local businesses, including a grocery store, cafe, burger bar, lunch & juice bar, fish & chips and a pharmacy.

Other Things to Note:
Please note: there is no dishwasher or tumble dryer at this property. Access to the apartment is via a flight of external stairs only.
