Beachfront Stays
Exclusive Escapes’ beachfront stays put you on the shores of Geographe Bay, with beachfront accommodation in Dunsborough and Busselton just a short stroll from the sand. The bay’s shallow, usually calm water is made for early swims and long afternoons with the kids, and from September to early December you may spot whales resting offshore. Each beach house is a private, self-contained home for families and groups, within easy reach of the Margaret River wine region.

Commonly Asked Questions About Beachfront Stays in the South West
Where are your beachfront holiday homes located?
Our beachfront stays sit along Geographe Bay, mainly in Dunsborough and Busselton. Both towns face north onto the bay, so the water is usually much calmer than the surf beaches on the Indian Ocean side near Yallingup and Margaret River. Use the location filter on this page to narrow the list by town.
Is the water at Geographe Bay safe for swimming?
Geographe Bay’s shallow, still water is the main reason families choose this stretch of coast, and Tourism Western Australia describes the Busselton foreshore as popular for safe swimming under normal conditions. The west coast surf beaches have stronger swell and currents, so check conditions and swim between the flags where beaches are patrolled.
When is the best time to book a beachfront stay?
December to March is peak beach season, with warm, dry days and school holiday demand, so book well ahead. Spring is quieter and brings whales into Geographe Bay from September to early December. Autumn suits couples who want beach walks paired with the wine vintage in March and April.
How far are the beachfront homes from Perth?
Busselton is about 220 km south of Perth, roughly two and a half hours by car, and Dunsborough is around 240 km, just under three hours. Busselton Margaret River Airport is a short drive from both towns, though scheduled flights are limited, so most visitors drive and keep the car for exploring.
Can I bring my dog to a beachfront stay?
Some of our beachfront homes accept pets, and you’ll find them on our pet-friendly stays page. Geographe Bay has several off-leash dog beaches around Dunsborough and Busselton, but dogs are banned from the beach beside Busselton’s town centre and the jetty, and some stretches close to dogs during summer daytime hours.
What should I look for when choosing a beachfront house?
Check how far the front door is from the sand, whether there’s an outdoor shower for sandy feet, and how the bedrooms and bathrooms suit your group. Our beachfront homes sleep six to ten guests, so larger families can stay together under one roof. Look at the photos for shade and outdoor living space too.
