“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.

“Not a 4.5 star, 3 at best!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

people found this review helpful

Spent 2 nights at the Capeview over the long weekend. Booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom spa aprtment. Check in was very brief, just hello and they gave us a map to find the apartment and that was it. It took a good 10 minutes to find and be warned that althought the spa apartments are 50 metres from the beach ours backed on to the construction area (there was no work going on though, all fenced up) and you do not get a car park near the apartment. It was a pain lugging in stuff and walking up the laneway.
The rooms are quite large, kitchen with everything you need, dining, 2 lounges. Main bed bed was very comfy and had a tv in the bedroom. The main bathroom has a 2 person spa and is surrounded by glass but they do have pull down blinds for those that want privacy. The second bedroom has 2 single beds. They are on rollers that do no lock and the floors are wood so as soon as you sit on them they go moving around the room! We therefore ended up having to have our 3 year old sleep in the main bed with us. The lounge area has a tv that is tiny (around 34 cm) and this was very frustrating when the Grand Final was on!! The only thing we were happy about with the reply was knowing we could watch it at home on the large screen. You would think for a supposed 4.5 star property they would have plasmas/lcd at least 32 inches. Not that we go away to watch tv but we did want to watch the grand final while our little boy was having a nap.
The beach is very close and there is a nice grassed area in front. I think the ocean view apartments would be nicer.
One thing we though odd was that they had no coat hangers in the wardrobes - you had to got to reception to ask, so we didnt bother. Once again on check out, the lady just ook the key and said thanks!
It wasn't too bad but we wouldn't go there again. For the price you can get as good, if not better accommodation in the Busselton area with better amenities.
Maybe once all the construction is finished (more apartments, pool, restaurant) it would be better.

“Nice, clean and quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2010

We had a 2 bedroom modern villa that was clean. Had all the ammenities you needed - dishwasher, washing machine, dryer etc etc..one tv and 5 foxtel channels plus DVD. Sofa was a fold out bed for extra's if needed. In a good location, half way between Busselton and Dunsbrough and near the turn off to Margaret River. Would stay here again as was reasonably priced. Was still under construction but wasn't a worry to us.

“Dont believe whats written or the pictures”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2010

The site is still under construction and so our 2 apartments overlooked an ugly wasteland.The security lights were on all night so it was like sleeping during the day. The bedroom curtains did not have blockout and this let the morning light in . We requested another room and this was organised. The second apartment was better. We requested a Foxtel guide but were told they do not provide them. When the Manager saw our computer he said use that to see whats on! They advertised they had 5 foxtel channels but there were only four. The shower floods the ensuite so request extra towels.
