Mercure Bunbury Sanctuary Golf Resort

Resort-Style Comfort Just Minutes from Bunbury's Live Music Scene

Modern yet laid-back, Mercure Bunbury Sanctuary Golf Resort offers a scenic retreat surrounded by gardens, lakes, and native birdlife in Pelican Point. Just off Forrest Highway and about 2 hours south of Perth, this peaceful resort is a great base for concert-goers looking to unwind in comfort after the show. Featuring semi self-contained apartments with kitchenettes and private patios or balconies overlooking the golf course, pool, or gardens, it’s a relaxing spot that doesn’t sacrifice convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

This resort offers a quieter alternative to city hotels, while still being just a short drive from Bunbury’s live music venues. The peaceful setting is perfect for relaxing after a show, and with flexible apartment-style layouts, it’s great for groups or longer stays. While public transport is limited, driving or rideshares are easy options. The tranquil surroundings mean you won’t be disturbed by late-night noise—unless it's your own party.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a bit more space and shared living areas
- Solo travelers looking for a peaceful, secure environment
- Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert trip
- Fans who want a relaxing recovery day by the pool or on the balcony
- Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate value and self-catering options

Food and Drink Options

The resort’s Vittoria’s Restaurant serves up tasty meals with a strong focus on local wines from the South West region. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the on-site dining covers most needs and the apartments let you whip up something light if you're back late. Breakfast is available, perfect for sleeping in after a night out. For more variety, Bunbury’s eateries are just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the resort itself doesn’t offer live music or late-night bars, Bunbury’s entertainment district—with pubs, lounges, and live music spots—is close by. After the show, head back to the resort for a nightcap on your private balcony or stroll through the peaceful grounds under the stars. For those who want to keep the night going, local bars are easily reachable by car or rideshare.

What People Say

Guests love the beautiful, quiet setting, spacious apartments, and friendly service. Many mention the well-maintained golf course and relaxing atmosphere. It's often described as a great base for exploring Bunbury and the Geographe Wine Region. Concert-goers praise the ability to unwind in a calm environment after a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the resort is a bit outside the city center, so having a car is helpful. The Wi-Fi can be spotty in certain areas, and the 10:00 AM check-out might feel early after a late night—but that’s nothing a good breakfast and a strong coffee can’t fix.

The Bottom Line

If you’re chasing live music in Bunbury but want a peaceful, resort-style stay to recharge, Mercure Bunbury Sanctuary Golf Resort hits the right note.
