Jetstar flys to Busselton from Sydney and Melbourne three days a week

Margaret River is not only the name of the whole region, but it also refers to a centrally located town and the river itself, which runs through it. Other towns to explore include Busselton, Dunsborough and Augusta.

The Busselton Margaret River Airport is conveniently located 6.8km from the Busselton city centre and a scenic 45-minute drive from Margaret River town centre.
