Perth's closest escape.
Half the fuel. The whole experience.
Skip the long drive to Margs. Bunbury Geographe gives you the same change of scenery under 2 hours from the city — and costs a lot less to get there.
A weekend away doesn't have to cost a tank.
With fuel prices climbing, a 3-hour drive south looks a lot different than it did last winter. Here's how BunGeo stacks up against the usual Margs run.
Margaret River weekend
- ✗~3 hours each way from Perth
- ✗Full tank + top-up — and stations running dry
- ✗Peak-season accommodation rates
- ✗Half your Saturday spent behind the wheel
BunGeo weekend
- ✓Under 2 hours from Perth CBD
- ✓One tank does the round trip with change
- ✓More shoulder-season value on stays
- ✓Arrive by lunch, swim with dolphins by 3
- ✓Five distinct regions inside one escape
