There's something different about Busselton

The Busselton Story

The Busselton Story

Busselton is more than a holiday town - it's a destination where generations of families return year after year to create memories that feel timeless.

The Busselton feeling

The Busselton feeling

There’s something about Busselton that stays with people long after they leave.
Maybe it’s the stillness of Geographe Bay in the early morning light. Maybe it’s the smell of salt air drifting through peppermint trees, or the sound of children laughing along the foreshore on warm summer evenings. Whatever it is, Busselton has become more than a destination - it’s a feeling.
For generations of Western Australians, Busselton has been the place families return to year after year. A place where memories are made slowly and naturally.
And at the heart of many of those memories is Broadwater Resort.
A place that welcomes you

A place that welcomes you

Busselton’s story stretches back thousands of years to the Wadandi people, the Traditional Custodians of this land and sea Country. Their deep connection to the coastline and natural rhythms of the region remains woven into Busselton’s identity today.
European settlement followed in the 1800s, with Busselton growing into one of Western Australia’s earliest coastal communities. Timber, farming, and maritime trade helped shape the town, while the calm waters of Geographe Bay welcomed travelers and created a lasting sense of connection to place.
That welcoming spirit still defines Busselton today.
Now one of WA’s most loved coastal destinations, Busselton blends history, lifestyle, and natural beauty with the kind of relaxed hospitality that keeps visitors returning year after year. From beachfront cafés and local businesses to family-friendly stays like Broadwater Resort, the town continues to offer the warmth and familiarity that turn holidays into traditions.
Where family traditions begin

Where family traditions begin

As Busselton grew into a holiday destination, families began searching for more than just accommodation. They wanted somewhere that felt easy. Comfortable. Familiar.
Somewhere children could swim all day, parents could truly relax, and mornings started just moments from the beach.

That’s where Broadwater Resort became part of the Busselton story.

Positioned along the shores of Geographe Bay, Broadwater Resort has become woven into the fabric of family holidays in the South West. For many guests, it’s not just where they stay - it’s where traditions begin.
Summer barbecues. Poolside afternoons. Beach walks at sunset. Multi-generational holidays where grandparents, parents, and children reconnect away from busy city life.
The resort reflects the very qualities Busselton is known for: warmth, space, and genuine hospitality.

More than a destination

What makes Busselton special is its balance

What makes Busselton special is its balance.
It offers stunning beaches and world-class tourism while still feeling grounded and authentic. Visitors can explore wineries, caves, forests, and coastal adventures by day, then return to the calm rhythm of the bay by evening.
Broadwater Resort sits perfectly within that experience - close enough to explore everything the South West has to offer, yet peaceful enough to feel like a true escape.
Families gather around the pool. Couples slow down and reconnect. Children make friendships that last entire holidays.
In many ways, the resort captures what Busselton has always done best: bringing people together.
The Busselton story continues

The Busselton story continues

New visitors arrive every year, drawn by the beauty of the coastline and the relaxed lifestyle that defines the region. Yet the essence of Busselton remains unchanged.
It’s still a place where mornings begin by the ocean.
Where community matters.
Where families return generation after generation.
And for many of those families, Broadwater Resort has become part of the tradition - a place woven into their own Busselton story.
Because the magic of Busselton has never just been about the coastline or the attractions.
It’s about the moments shared together - and the places that make people feel at home.
