Featuring Busselton, Dunsborough and Cowaramup
Come away with us on a bargain-hunting bonanza! Travel south from Perth and visit an amazing array of op shops between Mandurah and Cowaramup. Don’t forget to bring an empty suitcase for all the bargains you will pick up on this fabulous op shopping holiday. From antiques to fashion, there will be something for everyone and some great sightseeing opportunities along the way.
Itinerary
Day 1. Mandurah and Bunbury (D)
We collect you from home for your holiday into the beautiful South of Western Australia. Begin your bargain hunting with a visit to the Pinjarra Op Shop and a sweet cake from Café Chérie. Another shopping opportunity awaits at the Salvo’s in Harvey, then we’re back on board the coach. Allow rural scenery to roll by as we arrive to the Historic Caves House in Yallingup for three nights.
Overnight each night: Caves house Yallingup
Day 2. Busselton (BD)
Browse St Mary’s Op Shop and discover the Old Butter Factory (ceased making butter in 1952), learn all of Busselton’s Heritage, unpack everything there is to know from agriculture to whaling. Enjoy lunch at leisure in Busselton town, spending the afternoon visiting Busselton’s selection of Op Shop’s for some afternoon bargaining. See what treasures you find! After a day of shopping, rest your feet overlooking the enchanted gardens at the Caves House Hotel.
Day 3. Dunsborough and Cowaramup (BLD)
This morning one man's trash is another man’s treasure at the St Georges Op Shop and Vinnies in Dunsborough. After a morning shopping spree in Dunsborough, we travel south to the charming ‘cow town’ of Cowaramup. Wander the street for lunch at your leisure and be sure to stop into Moon Haven and Candy Cow for some afternoon delights. Keep an eye out for some colourful cows! Return to Yallingup to powder your nose before a tranquil dinner overlooking the greens of the Dunsborough Lakes Golf Course.
Day 4. Murray River (BL)
All shopped out, it is time to head home wearing your most fabulous and treasured Op Shop find. On our way, we enjoy the Kings Cottage, for a morning of history and morning tea, here you can discover an extensive collection of Museum pieces dating back to the 1800’s. Indulge in lunch at the Cut in Mandurah on your journey back to Perth. Upon arrival, we’ll see you safely home (with that heavy suitcase full of treasures!)
