Discovery Parks - Busselton is a beachfront holiday park on Bussell Highway in Broadwater, with the sand at Geographe Bay a short walk from the sites. It is dog-friendly for most of the year, with a clear peak-season exclusion rather than a vague policy, which makes it easy to plan around.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome on powered caravan and camping sites. Reports on cabin access are mixed: the park's own booking material has referenced a pet-friendly cabin option in the past, but Discovery Parks' general pet policy for its network describes dogs as sites-only, not in cabins or park units. Confirm directly with the park which applies to your dates before you book a cabin expecting to bring the dog. Dogs are not permitted from 15 December to 31 January. A modest per-night pet fee applies, and you need to notify the park you're bringing a pet before booking so it can be pre-approved.
Where dogs can and can't go. Leads are required at all times within the park. Bring your own bed and bowls; the park has communal water taps and direct beach access rather than dog-specific amenities.
The place. A family-oriented coastal park with a pool, playground and BBQ areas, spacious sites, and the beach essentially at the door. It is built for a straightforward beach holiday rather than a boutique stay.
Location and nearby. Address is 583-585 Bussell Highway, Broadwater, about two and a half hours from Perth by car, positioned between Busselton and Dunsborough. Broadwater Beach right next door is good for long morning walks. The Busselton Jetty foreshore has a walkable coastal path with plenty of outdoor cafe seating, though dogs can't go on the jetty train or into the underwater observatory.
Who it suits. Caravan and camping travellers after a straightforward, budget-friendlier beach base with the dog on a site rather than in a cabin. Less certain fit if you specifically need a pet-friendly cabin, given the conflicting information on that point.

Before you book. Check current pet fees and cabin eligibility directly with the park, and confirm the December-January exclusion dates haven't shifted for the season you're travelling.
