The main house of the Ithaca Busselton Motel was built in 1896. In 1904 it was sold to the Catholic Church to be used as a convent by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions. In 1922 it became a school run by Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart and then in 1952 it was bought and turned into a hotel. Ithaca is listed as a Historic Place and is protected. We stayed in a lovely room that had everything that we needed. We were also able to have a great hot breakfast. Lovely people run the motel and it was quite inexpensive. Would highly recommend it.
In the morning we walk 5 minutes to the beach.
The Busselton Jetty is the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere at 1,841 metres long built in 1864. There is a train that can take you out on the jetty and an underwater observatory at the end.
Some different art work. The beach front is well maintained.
First stop is Dunsborough. Beautiful day for touring.
So you get the idea? So many beautiful beaches that they all start looking the same.
We stop at this restaurant for a snack. Quite upscale. They weren’t interested in serving us as we weren’t ordering lunch but was managed to order a couple of tasty snacks to try.
I had a prawn with capers....it was really good.
Marlene had a scallop. Yummy!
