What guests think

Nightcap at the Ship Inn offers clean, well-equipped, mostly two-level apartments in a central, walkable spot with onsite pub/restaurant and parking; guests frequently praise friendly staff, comfortable spaces, and convenient access to Busselton's jetty, shops, and eateries.

Many find apartments spacious with king beds and useful extras like kitchenettes and washing machines, though bathrooms are small and the split-level layout can be inconvenient for some.

The property provides a very well-laid-out, self-contained room over two levels, neat, with lots of cutlery, well-maintained, serviced daily. Water bottles provided, adequate milk, good food in the Bistro and only a short walk to the CBD and foreshore activities. Although located adjacent to Dan Murphy's and the Bistro carpark, noise was not an issue. The pool was a bonus.

Clean, very convenient location. Next door to a Dan Murphy's, pub and 7/11. Two storey layout is a bit inconvenient as had to go upstairs for main bedroom and bathroom, not a big deal for most but would be problematic if have any mobility issues. Some of the furniture was a bit old, and the dining table legs were crooked.

Stayed from Tuesday - Friday. Our stay was very nice, the area was quiet, the bed was comfortable and apartment was nice. The bar is right next door so is very convenient. Loads of restaurants options around and shopping, quick walk to the beach too. The area itself is quiet apart from cars going past but that wasn’t a problem. Our first apartment had an infestation of ants around the laundry area under the stairs / laundry sink, which soon spread to the kitchen where our food was. This was resolved fairly quickly as we were given another apartment and a free drink on the hotel in the hotel bar. Our stay was very nice apart from the ants, hence the lower star rating as things should be cleaned properly, even under stair cupboards/sink… if they were checked prior to us checking in, then the ants would have been seen and we wouldn’t have been given that room.

The property was very convenient and clean except for a few spiders and webs on the architraves. A bit noisy in the surrounding area in the mornings but it is a commercial area so to be expected but was tolerable. Would stay again and recommend to others.

A good location for easy walking to shops and foreshore. The apartment was spacious (except for the bathroom, which is tiny) with a nice kitchen and sitting area, with a sofa and table with chairs. Upstairs, the bedroom also spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our balcony overlooked a carpark, but we did not have any issues with noise.

I enjoyed the room for a couple of hours before I went to a family bbq, I didn't get to sleep there as I was locked out of the room when I returned as the door closed when I was out the front on the phone .... I couldn't find a after hours number to get help, I left one of the room keys at my family's house but i had no transport to get it so my only option was to walk there in wet Busselton and I was too tired to walk all the way back 😞

I enjoyed my stay here - really clean, super comfy king bed and everything you could need however it is in a noisy spot on a busy corner with a 24 hour petrol station over the road and so that would dissuade me from staying there again, but that is the only reason. If you want a good, central location and can wear earplugs or are a heavy sleeper then highly recommended.

The location was very central to Busselton. Walk to the jetty, walk through Busselton & Kmart was just across the road. Very convenient to all those amenities. Dining room options were available - good food to eat but if you desired take aways the stores were on your doorstep. If you needed some alcohol, that was on your doorstep Dan Murphys. Location! location best place to stay in Busselton. You won't be disappointed! Very happy with the accommodation. I don't cook when away from home, I just used the kettle but the oven & microwave was available to use. It was a self contained unit, just right size. The bedroom was big & no complaints with the bed & the bathroom. I did have a surprise on my third day there I open up what I thought was a cupboard door but discovered a washing machine. One thing I did note that the pool area was looking rather tired & could do with an uplift. More shade, more trees, look very empty & plain but the water color was inviting on a hot day. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Cleaning lady worked hard to keep the rooms ship shaped. I would definetly stay here again. Maybe not as fancy as the other places around the area but came with a price tag you could affor.
