ACCOMMODATION
We have chosen to base our camp at the beachside villas in, Dunsborough, for its ideal proximity for high quality training and comfort after a hard days training. The resort is right on Geographe Bay beach which is ideal for open water swimming and the beach side path runs all the way to the Busselton Jetty.
Access to the quiet winery roads is only 2km away along the beach side road. Dunsborough is a small quiet town and the town centre is only a couple of minutes walk away with good shops and an excellent bike shop ready to help if you need spares or repairs. The Waterfront also gives us good access to nearby Busselton for race course practice.
