Pelican Point on the Collie River: Golf, Nature and Dining

Pelican Point combines its riverside setting on the Collie River with a broad mix of attractions: a boat ramp and fishing platform, regional parks, migratory waders, championship golf, dining and conferences. The Sanctuary Golf Resort offers several of these reasons to visit in one place. These features give Pelican Point a distinctive profile and offer different ways to decide whether the area is right for your trip.

Riverside setting and nature in Pelican Point

The Pelican Point Boat Ramp and Fishing Platform is on the banks of the Collie River. Its name combines a boat ramp and fishing platform, firmly anchoring its connection to the water on the riverbank. Pelican Point Foreshore and Pelican Point Park are among the City of Bunbury’s regional parks. These two named park locations add another perspective on the area to its riverside setting.

Pelican Point’s significance for migratory waders is also part of the area’s natural profile. This distinguishes two aspects: the area’s importance to these birds and the diverse wildlife surrounding the golf course. Together with the native bushland and landscaped gardens at the resort, these features give a clear picture of the area’s different connections to nature, without suggesting that they all refer to the same part of the area or the same facility.

Golf amid bushland, with a night-lit driving range

The Sanctuary Golf Resort offers a championship golf course surrounded by native bushland, diverse wildlife and landscaped gardens. It also has the South West’s first driving range lit for night golf. The two golf offerings have different features: the championship course is shaped by its described surroundings, while the driving range is specifically associated with night golf. If golf is a focus of your trip, you’ll find more than one aspect to this offering. Current operating details may change, so check directly with the resort before making plans.

Restaurant and conference rooms

The Sanctuary Golf Resort’s restaurant is open to everyone. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as drinks with friends. The offering spans several parts of the day and may suit a range of dining plans. If you’re considering a visit, check the current opening arrangements, as they may change.

For conferences, the resort’s Function Centre can be divided into three separate rooms and accommodates up to 300 delegates. The layout and capacity answer different planning questions: what room configuration is possible, and what group size is the venue designed for? Capacity may change, so check the latest details directly with the resort before planning a conference.
