Pelican Point: Golf, Nature and Events

Pelican Point brings together several themes that play different roles when planning a stay: the Pelican Point Boat Ramp and Fishing Platform on the Collie River, golf and event facilities at Sanctuary Golf Resort, and the natural features of the foreshore, park and migratory wading birds. If you’re looking for hotels in Pelican Point, it helps to first consider the purpose of your trip.

The Collie River connection

The Pelican Point Boat Ramp and Fishing Platform is located on the banks of the Collie River. Its name identifies two elements of the same facility—a boat ramp and a fishing platform—and makes the connection to the water clear. For your trip planning, this is a different starting point from the golf and event facilities at Sanctuary Golf Resort. So first consider whether the river facility or a stay focused on golf and conferences is your priority.

Golf course and driving range

The championship golf course at Sanctuary Golf Resort is surrounded by native bushland, diverse wildlife and landscaped gardens. The resort also has the South West’s first driving range lit for night golf. The descriptions emphasise different features: the championship course is characterised by its surroundings, while the range is distinguished by its lighting for night golf. As operating details can change, check the latest information if using the range at night is important to your plans.

Conferences at Sanctuary Golf Resort

For business trips or meetings, the Function Centre at Sanctuary Golf Resort offers a practical basis for planning. It can be divided into three separate rooms and can accommodate conferences with up to 300 delegates. The layout and stated maximum answer two different questions: what room configuration is possible, and what conference size is specified? This can help you make an initial assessment of whether the information suits your event format. As capacity can change, confirm the current arrangements if you are considering the centre for a conference.

Restaurant for different occasions

The restaurant at Sanctuary Golf Resort is open to everyone and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks for catching up with friends. Being open to everyone makes it a separate consideration when planning a trip, not just an option for delegates. If a restaurant visit is part of your stay, check the current opening arrangements in advance; these can change.

Regional parks and migratory wading birds

Pelican Point Foreshore and Pelican Point Park are among the City of Bunbury’s regional parks. Pelican Point is also significant for migratory wading birds. These details add another perspective to the natural setting around the golf course: bushland, wildlife and gardens describe the course’s surroundings, while the importance to migratory wading birds relates to Pelican Point as a whole. If nature and wildlife factor into your choice of destination, you can consider the city’s regional parks and the birdlife as distinct aspects.
