Best Hotels with a Pool in Busselton
Busselton is a beach town, so a pool is an addition rather than the main attraction, but it matters for families and for days when you want to stay put. Three properties on this page have a pool: Hilton Garden Inn Busselton, with a year-round outdoor pool a short walk from the jetty, The Sebel Busselton, a beachfront resort on Geographe Bay with a pool and spa facilities, and Nightcap at the Ship Inn, a self-contained stay in the town centre with a pool and two bars. I would choose by the setting you prefer: the jetty, the beach or the town centre.
Busselton is a coastal town on Geographe Bay in Western Australia's south-west, known for its long jetty and as a gateway to the Margaret River wine region. It is a relaxed holiday town, popular with families, and summer days revolve around the beach and the water. A pool adds a safe, easy option for children and a place to cool off between outings.
Three Busselton Pools by Setting
For a Busselton stay the useful question is where you want the pool to sit in your day: a year-round pool near the jetty, a resort pool on the beach, or a pool in the town centre. The three properties below answer that differently. I would choose by location first and the pool second, because all three have one and the main differences are the setting and the accommodation type.
Hilton Garden Inn Busselton is the best rated and most reviewed here, at 8.9 from more than 2,300 reviews. It offers family rooms with sea views and balconies, a short walk from the Busselton Jetty. It is a family-friendly hotel with a year-round outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a restaurant serving Australian food with vegetarian and gluten-free options. I would choose it for a family stay with a pool that is open in every season and the jetty on foot, and for travellers who like a restaurant on site with dietary choices.
The Sebel Busselton offers beachfront accommodation on Geographe Bay, ideal for families and couples exploring the Margaret River wine region. The resort has a pool and spa facilities, and its apartments include kitchenettes or full kitchens, with some having laundry facilities. It rates 8.7 from 976 reviews and is described as a great base for visiting local wineries, beaches and the town centre. I would choose it for a longer stay in which a beachfront position, a kitchen and a pool matter more than being on the jetty. Guests also have access to spa facilities, which makes it a good choice for couples as well as families.
Nightcap at the Ship Inn is a three-star, family-friendly property in the town centre. It offers self-contained accommodation with a balcony or patio, a swimming pool and two bars, and it is a short drive from Busselton Beach and the iconic Busselton Jetty. It rates 8.6 from 425 reviews, the smallest sample of the three. I would pick it for a budget-minded family or group who want a self-contained room with a pool, accept that the beach is a short drive away, and like having bars on site. The balcony or patio gives the self-contained rooms some outdoor space, which is useful on a warm evening.
The three suit different priorities. Hilton Garden Inn Busselton has the year-round pool and the jetty on foot, The Sebel Busselton has the beachfront position and the kitchens, and Nightcap at the Ship Inn has self-contained rooms and two bars in town. I would not expect a heated pool at any of them, since only Hilton lists a year-round outdoor pool. If a pool in winter matters, I would favour Hilton, and I would ask the others about the season. If you are visiting the Margaret River wine region, all three work as bases, though The Sebel describes itself that way most directly.
A traveler's takeI would choose Hilton Garden Inn Busselton for a family stay, because it rates 8.9, has a year-round outdoor pool, and is a short walk from the Busselton Jetty. For a beachfront stay with a kitchen and a pool, I would pick The Sebel Busselton on Geographe Bay. For a self-contained room in town with a pool and two bars, I would use Nightcap at the Ship Inn.
