Bunbury is a fantastic town between Busselton and Mandurah, it is by far my favourite destination now. It has a remarkable top restaurant called Market Eating House that we found by luck, with a divine fish and an extraordinary 2018 Chardonnay from Tasliman winery. The best things come by surprise and Bunbury is one of them, any corner that you explore reminds you of a village with everything you need, plus you have the most southern collection of mangroves nesting this town on one side and the ocean on the other. Visit the Dolphin Discovery Centre, with a good coffee shop and to have an intimate experience with dolphins ( which we missed, unfortunately). Bunbury has a good vibe, and good coffee shops too (The Happy Wife has a fantastic view and the Turkish eggs are very tasty, good service too) plus the Townhouse ( good coffee and excellent service). The views from Saint Patrick's Cathedral ( 1919) are fantastic. You could also venture for a quick workout by climbing on the steps to Boulters Heights lookout. Really beautiful views. Then go to the local wineries at Ferguson Valley, I would recommend Tasliman wines, Green Door Wines and Ferguson Falls, these are family-owned wineries, in which ambience you feel the bond between food and frienship surrounded by a stunning setting to go with it.
