Camping and Motorhome Rental

Lets Go Motorhomes and Camplify are two options for hiring a campervan in Western Australia. Find a place to camp or park your campervan overnight at the link below.

Bike Rental

We don’t currently have any bike rental partners or recommended suppliers, however previous participants have hired road bikes in Perth from Velocity Rides and Livelo.

In the Margaret River Region, Busselton Bike Hire or Dunsborough Bike Shed may be able to assist.

Public Transport

As is typical in regional Western Australia, public transport is limited to main routes only and we would not recommend relying on public transport to make your way around the region for the duration of your holiday.

Private charters and taxi services are much more reliable options if you are not hiring a vehicle or driving down from Perth.

For information on train and bus services within the region we recommend you get in touch with the local visitor centre.
