Extended our stay we liked it so much

Very comfortable apartment with plenty of room, separate lounge area was awesome, king bed very comfy, washing machine was magic & used every evening, the clothes dried quickly overnight on the clothes horse. Friendly staff, easy parking outside in car park. Close to cbd for eating, shop etc. Restaurant onsite. Highly recommend.

Good sized room with small kitchen, washing machine, 2 tv and air conditioned. Only thing missing is a drier. Walking distance to Coles, short drive to town centre and the jetty area, where there is a good selection of restaurants.

Really happy with the accommodation. Spacious apartment, however the bathroom was very small. Very clean and comfortable. Air con both up and downstairs. Great location, so close to everything. Definitely be staying again next time we are in Busselton.
Craig, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

As part of excellent customer service any establishment should be judged on how they deal with disgruntled customers. The Ship Inn staff know that this is an opportunity to demonstrate a high level of service. Well done Ship Inn. Thank you.

Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed from Tuesday - Friday. Our stay was very nice, the area was quiet, the bed was comfortable and apartment was nice. The bar is right next door so is very convenient. Loads of restaurants options around and shopping, quick walk to the beach too. The area itself is quiet apart from cars going past but that wasn’t a problem. Our first apartment had an infestation of ants around the laundry area under the stairs / laundry sink, which soon spread to the kitchen where our food was. This was resolved fairly quickly as we were given another apartment and a free drink on the hotel in the hotel bar. Our stay was very nice apart from the ants, hence the lower star rating as things should be cleaned properly, even under stair cupboards/sink… if they were checked prior to us checking in, then the ants would have been seen and we wouldn’t have been given that room.
Poppy, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The bathroom was way to small to even go to the toilet without hitting the basin, you could hear people walking around in the next door apartment and also in ours. Open section to the stairs which was extremely unsafe for our baby. Property needs some upgrades, looks nothing like the online images.
Lauren, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room - bed very soft and uncomfortable, floors creaking Amenities - no chopping board or bread knife

Convenient
KAREN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good location for easy walking to shops and foreshore. The apartment was spacious (except for the bathroom, which is tiny) with a nice kitchen and sitting area, with a sofa and table with chairs. Upstairs, the bedroom also spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our balcony overlooked a carpark, but we did not have any issues with noise.
Patricia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a perfect apartment and close to the main street.Had everything in the kitchen we needed and heating upstairs as well Close to hotel and very good meals.Would always return.
Elaine, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed my stay here - really clean, super comfy king bed and everything you could need however it is in a noisy spot on a busy corner with a 24 hour petrol station over the road and so that would dissuade me from staying there again, but that is the only reason. If you want a good, central location and can wear earplugs or are a heavy sleeper then highly recommended.
Catherine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a 2 level apartment unit with sleeping area on the higher level .The king size bed was comfortable but thevtoilet is a bit small . Overall it was a very good stay here.
