Last weekend we decided to jump in the car and head south for a winter escape at Pullman resort Bunker Bay. Nestled just outside Dunsborough (around 3 hours from Perth) on the edges of Bunker Bay's beach this 5 star resort offers one of the most luxurious stays in the Margaret River region.
We checked in with the incredibly attentive and friendly staff then went to find our villa, we were allocated 412 which was right by the main resort, but still a stones throw to the beach. The villas were beautiful and full of useful little extras such as an iPod dock and dishwasher. There's also a small hob and microwave, if you wish to cook.
A huge king size bed, ours was pretty firm, I'm not sure if they all are though- and of course that's a real personal preference.
The bathroom was incredible and featured a bath which I (at 5ft 10) could almost lay out in.
We then decided to take a wonder around the grounds and see just what the resort has to offer...
The large, heated infinity pool was an absolute winner for us and thanks to the rain we had it mainly to ourselves!
Sadly the weather was against us all weekend, but it was obvious how beautiful the bay is in summer, I can totally imagine spending a long weekend here surfing, paddle boarding and sunbathing in the warmer months.
That evening we head up to one of the resorts restaurants for dinner..
Which was beautiful, and again the staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful- especially with my dietary requirements (just a heads up, theres only one vegetarian option in the main restaurant)! I went for a home made pizza, which was amazing, and Dan had the Turkish roll, again amazing. We had a few drinks and watched the fire roar before calling it a night.
After dinner we head back and I promptly took myself to the bathroom, a winter escape wouldn't be right without a long relaxing soak in the bath..
The staff had kindly left me some complimentary wine (and were sweet enough to swap the red for white when I jokingly said I'm more of a white wine girl) and a pamper box filled with body scrubs and masks, I'd also packed my favourite LUSH bath bomb (the comforter), which made for the perfect girls pamper night whilst Dan watched the formula one. I soaked until the water went cold and by the end I felt oh so relaxed. To top it off, I got to squish into a big king size bed and snooze till I woke up the next morning.
It goes without saying that the first thing I did when I woke up was head straight to the pool, they also have a beautiful little 24 hour gym and had I packed my trainers I'd probably have squeezed in a pre-breakfast workout. After working up an appetite we head up for a buffet breakfast.
I haven't taken photos of the buffet because I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a buffet looks like. The buffet breakfast at Pullman resort bunker bay was great, a huge variety from a cooked breakfast, through to fruit salads, pancakes, muffins and meats and cheese.
If you're headed to Pullman Resort Bunker Bay I would totally recommend booking a trip to their Vie day spa, there's a huge array of treatments available but don't be silly like me- make sure you book well in advance!
We had an incredible stay at Bunker Bay and can't wait to head back in summer to laze about on the beach all day. We paid the usual rate for our room, however were given complimentary breakfast and I was gifted my pamper package also.
