Too pricey for entry at $16 for a child and $18 for an adult. Was highly interested after reading the reviews on Google, but was not expecting it to be a personal collection of shells and a few fish tanks. The lady was really nice, taking her time to talk to us as we were the only ones there. She was very well informed and friendly. She did a feed to show us Karen the puffer fish and explained to my child information in simple language.

We visited the Mermaids Cave this afternoon thinking it was a pretty little shop - but it’s SOOO much more! They have an entire back area dedicated to all different types of fish, crustaceans & beautiful things you’d find in the ocean. The lovely owner Georgia not only took the time to explain everything but she taught us so much we didn’t know, fed all the animals which was fantastic to see and she did it with so much enthusiasm & joy - you can tell it’s her passion. We would HIGHLY recommend stopping here when you’re in Busselton - so much to see & learn for both the adults & the kids. Thank you for such a fun afternoon Georgia - we’ll be back!

Beautiful shop, my kids and I loved the cave. Best bit was Sasha giving my kids heaps of facts and info on all the beautiful marine animals in the aquariums. Lovely experience will definitely visit again next time we are in Busselton.
