Abbey Beach Resort, Busselton




We stayed at the Abbey Beach Resort in Busselton in 2007, for my fiance's 21st.
Driving up the driveway the front was beautiful. So serene and welcoming, we couldn't wait to go inside and check out our rooms.
The foyer was also beautiful and the reception staff were very friendly even though we arrived later than we said we would.
My fiance and I walked into our spa suite which was a bargain price of $430 for 3 nights which we bought from Discover West and also included a hire car in the package (see previous post).

Spa Suite
Our spa suite was very intimate. It was very clean and the atmosphere was very calming. We had a view over the pools and garden area below. My fiance's cousin stayed in a room across the other side and while on our balconies we could yell out to him and say hello. One bad thing though is that there was a man across from us sitting on his balcony in his undies...not a nice sight.

Restaurant
There are two restaurants, the Brasserie Restaurant which is more formal and the Reflections Cafe which is casual dining. We went to the cafe for dinner which was very nice. We were in a party of 8 adults and 3 children. The food was great and the service was real good too. My fiance and I also went to the cafe for breakfast which was very pleasant. No disappointments at all.


Facilities
There are 2 outdoor swimming pools (which were occupied by ducks as it was August and quite cold, so no-one was going to swim anyway) and 1 indoor heated swimming with a children's wadding pool. There is also a spa, sauna, squash and tennis courts and playground for the kiddies to play. This resort really does have it all.


Overall
We had a lovely weekend away at Abbey Beach Resort.
My fiance and I went for a romanitc walk along the beach which is right behind the resort.
The resort is very family friendly but also great for intimate getaways as the resort has many different styles of accommodation.
Will definitely stay again.
5 Stars!
