Accor Vacation Club property, The Sebel Busselton, has unveiled an extensive AU$6.1 million refurbishment.
Spanning the resort’s 59 club apartments, reception, and onsite lounge and pizza café, the new look draws inspiration from the property’s scenic coastal location and the iconic Busselton Jetty.
“Through this project, we aimed to create spaces that bring the beauty of Busselton indoors, offering guests a fully immersive experience of the destination,” said The Sebel Busselton General Manager, Sandy Crothers.
“We selected a colour scheme centred around sandy browns and ocean blues, inspired by nearby Geographe Bay, updated appliances like televisions and introduced coffee pod machines for added comfort, while new balcony chairs and tables encourage guests to soak up the beautiful West Australian climate as they dine outside.”
The resort partnered with the local Lions Club to donate a range of items from the refurbishment, including electrical appliances, lighting, bedding, furniture, and decor items, which were repurposed for community use.
The club’s studio apartments were fully refreshed with bespoke carpets in bedrooms, updated kitchenettes, and renewed bathrooms with modern tiling, vanities, and fixtures. They also feature new curtains, wall-mounted bedheads, bedside tables, lamps, and living room furniture.
The two- and three-bedroom apartments had a significant makeover, where the bedrooms were recarpeted and kitchens upgraded with modern joinery, stone benchtops, splashbacks, appliances, and feature lighting. Living areas were enhanced with new furniture, including sofa beds and décor, while bedrooms were fitted with wall-mounted bedheads and side tables.
Upgraded amenities include Nespresso machines, new smart TVs – with 65-inch screens in living areas – and new washing machines and dryers. Window treatments were also updated, with a mix of curtains, sheers, plantation shutters, and roller blinds installed throughout.
The reception area underwent a complete transformation and now features modern pod-style stone-topped desks, new pendant lighting, VJ panelling, upgraded flooring, and refreshed décor, while new lounge seating enhances the public spaces’ stylish ambiance.
A new poolside pizzeria is another key feature of the property refresh.
