A Storied Background: Preserving Busseltonβs Architectural Heritage
To truly appreciate a stay at the Busselton Ithaca Motel, one must look back at the rich history embedded in the land it occupies. Situated on the historic Ithaca propertyβa site featuring deep-rooted ties to Busseltonβs early development and mid-century architectural evolution (historically recognized through periods such as the Villa Carlotta era from the 1950s onward)βthe location carries a profound sense of place.
Rather than erasing the past in favor of sterile modern construction, careful heritage restoration projects have been championed on the grounds to protect the integrity of the historic buildings.

Today, staying at the Busselton Ithaca Motel allows guests to touch a piece of local history while enjoying the reliable comforts, cleanliness, and amenities expected of a quality regional getaway.
