Stay, Explore & Unwind at Southern Stars Holiday Park

As the summer heat begins to ease, autumn in Dunsborough brings a new kind of magic—cooler nights, clear blue skies, and a more relaxed atmosphere. From February to April, the summer crowds fade, the beaches become peaceful retreats, and the local wineries roll out their best deals. Whether you’re a family looking for wide open spaces, a nature lover eager to explore the coastline, or a traveller with a furry friend in tow, Southern Stars Holiday Park is the perfect base to experience it all.

Why Autumn is the Best Time to Visit

Autumn in Dunsborough is a dream for travellers who prefer mild days and cosy evenings. The heat of summer gives way to crisp nights, ideal for stargazing and gathering around the communal firepit (available from April). Here stories are shared, friendships are made, and the warmth of the flames help everyone to relax after a day of adventure.

The slower pace of autumn also means the region is more peaceful and inviting. Stroll through town without the summer rush, relax on the quieter beaches, or take advantage of special deals at local wineries—it’s the perfect time to unwind.

Exciting Events & Outdoor Adventures

The Busselton/Dunsborough region is packed with adventure, and autumn is no exception. Some of the biggest events take place during this time, including:

Busselton Jetty Swim (8-9 February) – One of Australia’s most iconic open-water swims, attracting competitors from around the world. Whether you’re taking part or just watching, the event brings an incredible atmosphere to the region.

Adventure Races (27-30 March) – With Dunsborough’s breathtaking coastline as the backdrop, these races challenge participants to run, swim, paddle, and cycle their way through nature. Even if you’re not racing, it’s an exciting event to witness and cheer on the competitors!

For those who love the outdoors, the cooling weather makes it the perfect season for exploring. Hike the trails near Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, watch the waves crash against Canal Rocks, or take a scenic walk along the Busselton Jetty.
