Leavers WA Busselton Dunsborough

A guide to selecting leavers WA accommodation

When it comes to Leavers, many accommodation properties across the region go the extra mile to make sure you have a fun and stay safe. Other than a bed to rest in between activities, many will package up additional activities or services, so make sure to ask when you secure your booking.

Things to consider when booking accommodation

  • Preference accommodation is located within easy walking distance of the official Leavers bus route. Use of the bus service is included in your Leavers 2025 event wristband purchase and is the only way to access the nightly Leavers Zone, BeachFest and the daytime service connecting the towns and larger accommodation zones in Busselton, Dunsborough and Yallingup.
  • If a property is not located along the official Leavers bus route, consider how you will gain access to the park n ride access points. Private vehicles (including charter buses, taxis, Ubers etc) are not able to access The Zone or BeachFest. Public transport, taxi and Uber-style on-demand services are limited in regional areas and distances/costs can be prohibitive without a group to split the cost.
  • Some accommodation operators will also provide in-house activities or meal options as part of the Leavers week package  – e.g. pancake breakfast, BBQs, food truck visits, late-night supper – make sure you read the inclusions when it comes to weighing up all the options
  • Some accommodation partners may also provide additional security or 24-hour on-site accommodation support over Leavers to keep you safe while having fun with your mates– with many also reserving their property exclusively to Leavers – take this bonus services into consideration when planning your overall budget
