Bunbury is the gateway to the South West of Australia and is surrounded by wineries and nature and is only 90 minutes away from Perth! Dolphin Retreat is lcoated 5 minutes walk to the beach, cafe strip, bus station, visitor information centre, shopping centre, night life and main street.

To travel from Bunbury from the capital city, Perth, you may catch the train or bus. Please email us for the latest transport details.

Perth Airport to Central Train Station Perth
Book a bus from the Airport to the Wellington Street Train Station (this is the train stop in the city centre of Perth). The company is Airport Connect.

If you travel on the Train - catch the morning train to Bunbury and there will be a free bus on Mon' to Sat' to take you to the city centre bus station (next to the Visitor Information Centre). There is a train on Sunday but there is no free bus on Sunday.

The hostel is 10 minutes walk from the Bunbury city centre bus station. If you catch the afternoon train you will have to catch a taxi to the hostel. (The train station is 4km away from the city centre).
If you travel on the Bus - You need to ensure that the bus takes you to the city centre bus station and not the train station. South West Coach Lines drops passengers off at the city centre bus station. Only some TRANSWA buses will take you to the city centre bus station so we recommend you check that if you take this bus line, that they will drop you at the city centre station.
