Introduction
Nestled along the glistening shores of Geographe Bay, Hilton Garden Inn Busselton stands as a refreshing chapter in Western Australia’s coastal story. Since its opening in late 2023, this seaside retreat has quickly become a favorite for travelers seeking both luxury and the laid-back charm of Busselton’s foreshore.
Why Busselton Shines
About 220 km south-west of Perth, Busselton is more than a stopover—it’s a destination in its own right. Quaint, lively, and full of coastal warmth, the town boasts the famous Busselton Jetty—the longest timber-pile jetty in the Southern Hemisphere—where you can stroll aboard an electric train and descend eight meters below the water to explore a living underwater observatory.
A View That Takes Your Breath Away
Perched just steps from the jetty, the hotel’s rooms offer panoramic views of turquoise waters and swaying Norfolk pines. Guests frequently praise ocean-view rooms and balconies, noting the hotel’s architecture and positioning as made for drifting into the horizon.
Rooms That Feel Like Home
Inside, the rooms balance modern design with everyday comforts—rainfall showers, work desks, LCD TVs, in-room safes, and USB/C outlets ensure convenience. Free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and stylish furnishings make it easy to unwind after a day exploring.
Spotlight on Amenities
The hotel spoils guests with an inviting outdoor pool—heated and spotless, a favorite for unwinding under the sun. A 24-hour fitness center means workouts aren’t sacrificed. Additional touches like a coffee shop, snack bar, laundry services, digital key access, and complimentary parking create a comfortable, no-stress environment.
Dining That Delights
“Together & Co,” the hotel’s casual yet refined restaurant and bar, sources local produce and regional flavors. Guests delight in both the hearty breakfast spreads and relaxed dinners. The bar’s wine list, cold beers on tap, and simple bar bites offer flexibility whether you’re refueling after a day outside or indulging at sundown.

Close to Busselton’s Best
From the hotel, the iconic jetty is a few steps away—whether you take its electric train, dive into the underwater observatory, or simply admire the 1.8 km stretch of history, it’s iconic.
Beyond the jetty, the Busselton Pavilion precinct pulses with energy. The Shelter Brewing Co.—a brewpub styled like a European beer hall—serves award-winning craft beers and pizzas under the ocean breeze.
For wine lovers, South West Wine Shop and Beyond Distilling nearby offer handcrafted spirits and region-focused labels in shareable, stylish settings. Inara, serving Levantine cuisine, offers dishes that evoke shared moments and a love of life, including fluffy bazlama and slow-cooked lamb with tahini and cured lemon.
Timing Your Visit
Busselton’s climate tempts year-round, but early to mid-autumn offers gentle weather, fewer sea breezes, and thinner crowds—perfect for enjoying the beach and town at your own pace.

Guests are welcomed personally and leave with more than memories; they carry stories of sunrise sessions by the pool, friendly faces at breakfast, and ocean horizons glimpsed from balconies.
