“Not the best”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

My experience started with a very curt disinterested reception lady. Here's the key and map bye. The unit number 2 was good but old .The bathroom floods every time you shower the television was 1950'era and totally unwatchable. The first 2 nights no sleep was achieved thanks to the Irish Kareoke gang. The rest of the time was good enough. There is no Bar or Restuaraunt on this site and no swimming pool. Overall if you are looking for a place to rest and enjoy food on site give this place a wide berth

Room Tip: Go some where else

thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is very disappointing that the actions of other guests effected your experience with us. I should point out however that I live onsite and a phone call at any time would have put a stop to any loud music. I never received any calls over the New Years from any guest regarding noise. Forte Cape View is promoted as "self catering", with each unit having full kitchen facilites and as such you are correct we do not have a bar or restaurant on site, however there are some excellent cafes and bars within a short walk along the cycle way by the beach. While the TV is not a Flat screen I agree with you that it should be replaced and I have asked the owner of the unit to upgrade the TV to a Flat screen, all the other Ocean View units now have Flat Screen TVs. We have a very small reception team and I would like to think a very happy little team, I am disapointed that this was not your experience. I hope the rest of your stay in WA was enjoyable.

“Very Good Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

This facility was a really good find. Close to the beach (5 minutes walk) and just far enough off the major roads to hide all noise. Units are well furnished, with everything that opens and shuts including an in site laundry with washing detergent. Floors are tiled, our bathroom had a spa tub and everything was clean and inviting. Staff were friendly and helpful, Unfortunately the swimming pool was closed for renovations but the beach made up for it. Would recommend this with no hesitation.

“Great budget getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

We stayed with two other couples in a three bedroom apartment, very comfy clean and friendly helpful staff. Close to the beach (not one for swimming though,) about a ten minute drive to town centre. The unit is well equipped and small issues arose ie. on the first day the electric kettle died, it was replaced immediately with no issues. The apartment has plenty of room for a group of friends or a family. This is the second time we have stayed here with friends and would be happy to do it again.

“Beautiful place to stay - very close to amenities and beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2011

Travelled with 3 people including myself, stayed for two nights in a 2 Bedroom Spa Ocean View Apartment. The apartment was 30 steps from the beach front. Beautiful views from the apartment. The apartment it self - a bit old fashion but very comfortable and clean. Only downside - there were lots of insects and in particular spider webs and cobwebs around the patio area. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. There is also a car park which is very secure. People very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

“We always return to this one!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

We have been bringing our family to Cape View since the year after it opened, and although we have tried several other nearby resorts, we have always returned here due to popular demand! For the past two years the pool and restaurant have been closed due to work on the final stage of building, but this has not put us off. There are new facilities planned as part of stage 3, which will be an added bonus.
The staff have always been charming and helpful. We wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Bussleton.
