we've just booked a room in the Hilton in the CBD of Perth for $120 a night (it was the cheapest place we could find at the time) its their advance booking room (rest start at $150) so you have to ask for the advance booking queen room and bingo a bargain and its supposed to be a lovely hotel. If you want an apartment with parking we stayed at Mount Bay Apartments and there is an outdoor pool (bit chilly at the mo for that tho), gym and tennis courts plus the free bus stops right outside and its literally five mins into the centre of town.

We live in Bunbury and not sure where is best to stay between Rockingham and Busso as its all small towns. Plenty of camp sites along the way though. Why not stay in Busselton and then drive back up the next day to Rockingham or stay in Dunsborough if you want to be near the wineries, Cape Naturaliste (beautiful especially Bunker Bay) and there are a couple of bars there as well.
