Why choose Bunbury for your road trip

Bunbury — a city worth exploring

Bunbury's Koombana Bay is one of the few places in Australia where wild bottlenose dolphins swim into an inner-city beach, with the Dolphin Discovery Centre welcoming visitors year-round. Sitting on Geographe Bay roughly 175 km south of Perth, Bunbury is Western Australia's third-largest city and a natural base for exploring the South West. Stroll through the heritage-listed King Cottage Museum to trace the port town's colonial past, or wander the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery for rotating exhibitions by local and national artists. The Big Swamp Wetland offers peaceful boardwalk trails through paperbark woodland, ideal for birdwatching before you head back to your vehicle for the night. Margaret River, famous for its wineries and surf breaks, lies just 100 km to the south, while the towering karri forests of Wellington National Park begin only 25 km east, where you can swim beneath the Wellington Dam wall. The coastline around Bunbury is flat and well-serviced, with wide roads and generous pull-in bays that suit larger vehicles. Whether you are travelling in a campervan or a motorhome, the region's layout makes day trips simple and stress-free. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners in the area, giving you peer-to-peer flexibility and the chance to pick up a campervan that comes with first-hand tips on the best spots to visit around Bunbury and the broader South West.

Best time to visit

Bunbury enjoys a Mediterranean climate, making it a comfortable destination across much of the year. The warmer months from November to March are ideal for dolphin encounters at Koombana Bay and beach days along Geographe Bay. The Bunbury Geographe Gift Fair in November draws crowds to the region, while the Bunbury Show in late March celebrates local agriculture and community spirit. Booking a campervan through Yescapa during the quieter months of May to September lets you take advantage of competitive peer-to-peer hire rates, and you will find campsites less busy. Wildflower season from August to October adds colour to every drive south of Perth.

Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!

Barnabas Viktor
5 / 5

Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!
