Statement of Significance

Seymour’s Cottages, the site of five former farm houses that became cottages, has cultural heritage significance as a reminder of the simple beachside holiday lifestyle that has become uncommon in the Busselton region.

Physical Description

Site only

History

The site was previously occupied by one of the district's early farmhouses. The buildings were later used for holiday accommodation. The cottages have since been demolished after the park’s closure in March 2000. Applications for re-zoning and to re-locate property to Cape Naturaliste Road proved to be unsuccessful. In the past, permanent residents comprised mostly of retirees who contributed actively to the local sporting and social scene.
