Getting from Perth Airport to Bunbury

Considered the gateway to Australia’s South West, Bunbury used to be an industrial port. However, in the past few years – largely thanks to the business initiatives of some locals – this coastal city has managed to become a vibrant destination. Boasting incredible beaches and bays, Bunbury attracts watersport aficionados, wildlife enthusiasts, a lively scene of night entertainment, and renowned restaurants. The numerous great pieces of art scattered around the city centre and the rich showcase of aboriginal heritage make this a one-of-a-kind place to visit.

To reach the sandy shores of Bunbury, located 180 km south of Perth Airport, there are two options: a taxi or a bus. A taxi or private transfer will take around 2 hours to get you to the doorstep of your accommodation in Bunbury. The bus journey is a bit lengthier at 2 hours and 20 minutes, not including wait times.

Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Perth at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.

Where do I get the bus from?

The pickup stop point of South West Coach Lines at PER is to the left of the Airport Central train station on Horrie Miller Drive. It’s south of Terminal 1 and to the east of Terminal 2.

Convenience

The coaches of South West Coach Lines are modern, spacious and air-conditioned. However, the bus scores a bit low in convenience because departures are not frequent, and you’ll have to wait for hours if your flight arrives too far apart from a scheduled bus journey. Also, keep in mind the need to navigate to your final destination in Bunbury from the bus stop.

Editor’s Note

In normal conditions, a train line (operated by Australind) also connects Perth to Bunbury. However, the train is out of service for maintenance reasons until the middle of 2025.
