This place is absolutely fantastic . The rooms had everything you could need & more , even beach towels & refreshments . The housekeeping girls were excellent , friendly and very hard working . Pool is perfect , walk to beach 10 mins max , main shopping street 3/4 minutes , just overall outstanding . Can’t wait to come again , felt like home .
A great little hotel, nicely positioned with a pool and oub attached. Parking is right outside some rooms which could be a little noisy and busy as a bottle shop is also next door. The lucky ones who get a room through the gated area and around the pool have a pwrfect litle secure bubble. Rooms are neat, the bathroom is a little tight space wise.
Great place to stay and so close to everything. Room was clean and great having a washing machine & clothes drying racks to catch up on our washing on our travels
Enjoyed the visit, hotel was every comfortable and the food was excellent

Staff (The new manager who has just transferred from the pub in Vic Park). This lady was welcoming, professional and was a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend The Night Cap at The Ship inn.
Great location to walk to busselton jetty swim. Would stay again. Have eaten here many times over the years but never stayed until this time and it was great.
