Mercure Bunbury Sanctuary Golf Resort  

On Bunbury’s Pelican Point, about 90 minutes south of Perth in the Geographe Wine Region. This 4-star golf resort sits near Koombana Bay, the Mangrove Boardwalk and Bunbury’s Inner Harbour, putting beaches, galleries and family-friendly sights within easy reach.

Set across 56 hectares of rolling fairways, lakes and tropical gardens, the resort offers apartment-style accommodation — around 38 air-conditioned units with private balconies or patios, LCD TVs and in-room conveniences like coffee/tea makers and irons. Rooms overlook manicured greens or tranquil gardens, and some feature baths or DVD players for relaxed nights in.

Play an 18-hole championship course, plunge into a freeform resort pool or warm up in the heated spa. Other perks include outdoor tennis courts, a golf shop, massage room, picnic areas, babysitting/childcare (surcharge), and tour/ticket assistance — wake up to green fairway mornings and lake-side sunsets.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, conferencing and function rooms, plus dry cleaning/laundry, luggage storage and free self-parking for delegates.

An on-site restaurant and bar serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with a lounge for drinks and limited room service available. It’s a handy spot to pair hearty regional fare with local Geographe wines after a day on the course.
