Charge rate is 40c pew kW + transaction fees. BYO charge cable which needs a standard Type 2 plug to connect to the charger.  If you have not yet purchased one we have a charge cable to suit Type 2 car connections that can be hired from our reception (also with bond)- we highly recommend for your convenience that you purchase a standard type 2 plug.

Guests are welcome to arrange with reception to have an occasional visitor for a short period, like for a cuppa or a meal, while keeping in mind the importance of protecting and maintaining the Resort’s private, peaceful and casual atmosphere. Visitors will need to register on arrival and park in the visitors car park and for groups bookings please note that visitor access is further restricted. This policy recognises that long or repetitive visits by others staying elsewhere or living locally can significantly compromise what is special for paying guests. Please go to RESORT INFORMATION for more information and guidance on this topic.

Sorry, Specials cannot be applied retrospectively to pre-existing booking as per our T&C’s, however at the complete discretion of management, we will consider a polite request to see if there is anything we can do for you. Rather than a cost reduction we may look at some form of booking time extension for example as long as we have a vacancy that we feel will not otherwise be booked.

No skiing, jet skiing or  biscuiting etc from the beach in front of the resort which is reserved for passive and safe recreation. The closest designated ski area is only 800m east (Busselton side) of our jetty on the far side of the large rock groyne. For more on this see the look under the Beach/Boating Policies tab on our RESORT INFORMATION page.

No sorry. Siesta Park Holiday Resort is a private property and all of the resorts facilities, including the jetty, boat ramp and all play equipment are maintained and insured for the exclusive use of our currently booked in resort guests who have accepted and signed our LIABILITY WAIVER.

No sorry. While we do have a seasonal boat ramp (registered with the Dept’ of Transport) that allows beach access for the purpose of launching and retrieving our guests boats no other vehicle access is allowed. This includes that no cars and/or trailers can be left parked on the beach. This is in keeping with the City of Busselton local law regarding the disallowance of vehicles on nearly all beaches in our area.

Sorry, we don’t have caravan and camping sites, we only have our self contained Villas and Chalets.

With regards to storage of caravans, camp trailers or other large equipment that are to be used before/after your stay at Siesta, generally we suggest that you make arrangements to store them at a commercial storage facility in Busselton or Vasse where secure and safe storage is available. If by arrangement we allow such items to be parked at our property this will not be at your unit but will be in some other parking location well out of the way (and possibly across the road from the resort). We take no responsibility for its security in any way.

No sorry. This is to help avoid any unnecessary traffic in the resort and maintain the relatively safe, uncluttered and peaceful environment which delivery trucks would majorly compromise.
If you like to shop online for groceries we suggest you order to  collect from Coles at Vasse as it is only a 5 minute drive from our resort. The address is  Lot 101 Napolean Promenade, Vasse, WA, 6280

We do not service units during a guests stay. The units are serviced following departure and before the next guest occupies the unit.

For any equipment that is no longer needed by the guest or is broken we ask that it be taken with them and not left behind (at the unit, on the beach, at the bin stand or elsewhere) for us to dispose of.
For items that are accidently left behind- If the item appears valuable we try to contact the guest as soon as possible to advise (Please note that we are not always aware of the value of items).
If guests think they may have left items behind they are welcome to contact us.
When a guest wants the item/s back the options are for the guest to come and pick up if still in the area OR arrange for a friend or familiy to pick up in the next couple of days OR to have the item posted back (Note- Postage + $20 Fee apply)
As we have a lot of items left behind we have to regularly clear so we do not hold items for any longer than two weeks. If the items are still in good condition they are sent to a charity, otherwise they are binned.

Siesta is connected to Western Power’s mains power grid which is subject planned and unplanned outages. Regional storms and fires are events when unplanned power outages might be more likely to occur so to reduce the inconvenience of power outages we have a large backup generator that we switch to for any planned outages and for unplanned outages. We start the generator if an outage looks like it will be prolonged and is during active hours (between approx. 7am to 11pm). Although we have some significant PV rooftop solar this only supplements the mains system and does not replace it. Thus if you have any equipment such as medical equipment, that requires a constant stream of power supply we suggest you bring your own back up UPS (uninterrupted power supply) that can carry you through any outage periods. It follows that we assume no responsibility for any inconvenience or loss resulting from any power outage and the backup power that we provide should only be regarded as a bonus.

Fortunately theft and damage is rare with perhaps only a few occurrences each year but despite this we recommend that you to stay vigilant while locating and securing your property to minimise any risk. As per our Terms & Conditions we assume no responsibility for the property of guests and we suggest you have your own insurance policies in order to provide you with the cover you require if any unfortunate event arises.

You cannot smoke or vape inside the units as per the Terms & Conditions and it is discouraged anywhere else on the property but if you must please do so well away from other people and use an ash tray and then dispose of butts responsibly in a bin. If someone lets you know that your smoke is annoying them please move to a place to smoke where this cannot happen. 

Booking Questions

Can I join a a WAIT LIST for busy periods?

Yes we do. We keep names on the Wait List for up to two months, if after two months we have not been able to offer anything we do cancel as people have often by that stage lost interest or found something else. People on the Wait List are welcome to call us every six to eight weeks to let us know if they are still interested, we note that and keep their name on the list for up to another two months.

We offer a 20% Seniors Discount to a couple on their own who are over the age of 60, in our Hideaway Villas and Park Chalets 1 bedroom, outside of public holidays and school holidays. Please note that the discount does not apply if extra persons are to be accommodated at any time during the stay or where any other Special has already been applied.
You need to call us on 08 9755 4016 between 8.30am and 5pm to make a seniors discount booking (or have it applied to a booking made online).

During school leavers time in November our property does not cater for leavers or young groups.
This works in with the overall strategy employed by the local community with regards to catering and caring for leavers at selected accommodation properties that are dedicated and secured for this purpose.

During school leavers time in November our property does not cater for leavers or young groups. At other times we can accommodate young groups with relevant bookings conditions and a $200 pp bond.
As a guide, a group whose majority of ages are under 25, are unmarried and not in a family group, are generally regarded as a young group.

Yes group booking are welcome but they must be midndfull so as to not impact and cause annoyance to other guests. The larger the group the greater the chance there may be issues. Please see our more detailed GROUPS POLICY on our page.

Facilities

What COOLING or A/C is there?

For cooling in the hotter months we supply desk fans for each bedroom. There is no Aircon but the property is on the absolute beachfront with regular soothing sea breezes in summer and thers is lots of woodland shade for the units plus the beach and beautiful Geographe Bay is right there for a dip at any time:) This all makes Siesta a very fortunate and naturally sustainable and responsible property where Aircon can be gone without and like we do for our own home, when a hot day is forecast to help to keep your unit as cool as possible we suggest the following – While your unit is cool in the morning shut all windows, doors and curtains to keep the heat out. Perhaps spend more time outside on the lawns in the shade, on the veranda, under a beach shade or swimming in the ocean and then when the day is cooling and the sea breeze is in, open windows and let the cooler air in.
We ask that guests not to bring down portable air conditioners as explained in our RESORT INFORMATION

For heating the villas have gas heaters and the chalets have electric fan heaters plus the villas get a column heater in the cooler months that can be moved around as required which makes the villas are a bit more comfortable in the winter months. All units have extra blankets that are generally sufficient to keep our guests warm, however for people who do feel the cold you may wish to bring some more extra blankets or your favourite doona.
We ask that guests not to bring down extra heaters as explained in our RESORT INFORMATION

Siesta has its own a seasonal boat ramp (October to May approx.) for small boats launching by 4WD. For larger boats and 2WD cars there are public ramps with finger jetties close by at Abbey and Quindalup.
In the summer and autumn months, leaving boats achored at the front of the resort during your stay is popular and very convenient.
– No use of park ramp before 8am
– Cars and trailers cannot be parked on beach or at ramp area.
– More need to know info and tips on this topic under the Beach/Boating tab on our RESORT INFORMATION page.

Siesta has wood fired bbq’s that can be used when there are no DFES fire bans and only after 5pm from December to April, along with a number of other important conditions listed under the BBQ Fire Rules topic in our RESORT INFORMATION.  Guests are welcome to bring their own portable gas bbq’s and they just need to be mindful where they are set up.
