Winter Wonders in Busselton: Cosy Getaways by the Bay
As the temperature dips and the summer crowds fade, Busselton reveals its quieter, more intimate side—making winter the perfect season for a peaceful coastal retreat. Nestled along the calm shoreline of Geographe Bay, Broadwater Resort Busselton becomes a sanctuary where guests can unwind in warmth, enjoy scenic landscapes, and explore the region’s rich culinary and cultural experiences.
Located just a 2.5-hour drive south of Perth, Broadwater Resort is ideal for those looking to escape the city and reconnect with nature, loved ones, or simply themselves. Whether you’re curled up by a fire or indulging in the region’s famed red wines, Busselton in winter offers something uniquely comforting.
Why Choose Busselton for a Winter Escape?
Winter in Busselton brings out the charm of the South West. The beaches are quieter, the air is crisp and clean, and the slower pace allows you to truly savour the moments. With sweeping views of Geographe Bay, misty morning walks along the jetty, and glowing pink sunsets, this time of year is incredibly photogenic and soul-soothing.
The cooler months are also ideal for gourmet lovers and wine enthusiasts, as the Margaret River region comes alive with rich seasonal produce and cosy cellar doors offering full-bodied reds by a roaring fireplace.
