2025 Naturaliste Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#valentinescape a must visit when you're in perth is Margaret river — Bunker bay. This super romantic spot is great for photos with your other half 🥹🤍 Bunker Bay beach, is located in the Margaret River Region, It is a hidden gem characterized by its pristine white sand and crystal clear turquoise waters. This secluded spot has the advantage of being situated on the Cape Naturaliste promontory, allowing for stunning sunrises rather than the typical sunsets of Western Australia, making it well worth waking up early to witness.

Meelup beach is just gorgeous, beautiful clear water on a good day. There's rocks to clamber over, peppermint trees to sit under on the grassy area, the beach sand is soft and like velvet on your feet, can get hot though! Very busy in peak season like today, lots of people, difficulty getting parking. So if the beach is too crowded go for a drive along the coast to Eagle Bay, Bunkers Bay, Castle Rock is usually quieter. The Meelup National Park Trail offers a walk from Old Dunsborough beach along the coastline to Eagle Bay. It is an easy walk - out and back its about 15km. It gives ocean views and a peaceful bush experience. Along the way back, I came upon the back entrance to Lot 80 restaurant. It was a very welcome pitstop and the coffee was outstanding. This walk should be started early morning to enjoy the clear morning light on the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed watching pods of dolphin leaping out of the water at Castle Rock. #australiatravel

It was a trip to Busselton, Australia 🇦🇺 with family. We started our Busselton adventure with a visit to the Busselton Jetty ⛴️ one of the most iconic landmarks in Western Australia. Stretching 1.8 kilometers into the crystal-clear water 💦 of Geographe Bay, the jetty offered us breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. As the sun ☀️ began to rise, the soft morning light created the perfect conditions for photos of the jetty stretching out into the horizon. We couldn’t resist taking a few shots from the shore, as well as from the end of the jetty itself, where we explored the fascinating Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory. The vibrant underwater ecosystem was a perfect contrast to the golden light ✨ making it a photographer’s dream. 📍Busselton Jetty, Busselton WA 6280, Australia We then headed to Dunsborough Beach, just a short drive 🚗 from Busselton. The turquoise waters and white sand were absolutely stunning, and we spent hours capturing the tranquil beach 🏖️ scenes. It’s a fantastic location for both wide-angle shots of the coastline and close-up photos 📸 of the surrounding flora and fauna. The area is perfect for beach lovers, and we even saw a few kangaroos 🦘 grazing near the shore, which made for an interesting photo opportunity 📸 I would recommend walking along the coast towards Castle Rock for a more secluded spot, perfect for those looking to capture a peaceful, natural environment 😍 📍Dunsborough Beach, Dunsborough WA 6281, Australia We then visited Meelup Beach 🏝️ located a short distance from Dunsborough. This hidden gem 💎 is one of the most picturesque beaches in the region, with its clear waters and protected cove. The beach is perfect for capturing sunset photos 📸 as the sky turns a vibrant mix of oranges, pinks, and purples. We also spent some time walking along the beach, taking photos of the jagged rock formations and the occasional bird perched on the water’s edge. The peaceful atmosphere here made it the ideal location to relax and enjoy the surroundings 🙌 📍Meelup Beach, Meelup WA 6281, Australia We also explored the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, located at the northern tip of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. The lighthouse offers spectacular views over the Indian Ocean 🌊 and the rugged coastline. The whitewashed lighthouse against the deep blue of the ocean provided a striking contrast in our photos 📸 We climbed to the top of the lighthouse and were rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs and forests 🌳 It’s a great spot for wide-angle shots of the coastline, especially with the lush greenery framing the scene 📸 The lighthouse itself is also a lovely subject for architectural photography 😍 📍Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, Cape Naturaliste WA 6281, Australia Busselton offers endless possibilities for beautiful shots. I would highly recommend it to anyone 🙌🙌🙌 #australiatrip #travel #vacation

Australia Dunsborough is a beautiful holiday city, clean, wide beach, many beaches, can't finish in one day. The people are lovely, friendly, and orderly. Definitely have to go back again. The air and atmosphere are super good. Can take a deep breath of oxygen. Beautiful, very beautiful, so beautiful. Very beautiful. Not crowded.

#familytrips2024 When in Perth, I always suggest to friends with families to drop by Meelup Farmhouse. It is such a beautiful and wonderful place where both young and old can be up close with the farm animals there. The animals are tame and you can even get to pet them. It's an awesome experience for kids especially, as they learn more about these farm animals. Some seen were silkies, goats, Alpacas, etc. The place is well maintained and it's a fun place for families!

#Ho-kangs A hotel in the Margaret River wine region of Australia ☺️ This is my favorite place to stay in Western Australia. It's connected to a national park. It was great for a healing ho-kangs☺️ This place is built on a cliff facing the sea! I liked the high ceilings. A healing ho-kangs where everything was great!
