About Vasse
Welcome to Vasse
Vasse sits inland from Geographe Bay in the heart of the Margaret River wine region, just a few minutes' drive from Busselton and roughly three hours south of Perth. Once a rural crossroads known for its cattle and vineyards, it has grown over the past two decades into one of the South West's most sought-after residential addresses, anchored by its own town centre, wetlands and a fast-growing network of family suburbs.
With a population of 2,853 and a median age of 39, Vasse has the feel of a young, settled community — plenty of families, professionals who've relocated for lifestyle, and retirees drawn by the mix of convenience and green space. It suits buyers after a newer home with room to move, without giving up easy access to Busselton's beaches, shops and schools.
Lifestyle & dining
Vasse's town centre has become a genuine local hub, with cafés, a supermarket and specialty shops built around the Vasse Wetlands, a popular spot for an evening walk or a coffee by the water. The surrounding Margaret River wine region means excellent dining and cellar doors are never far away, and Busselton's foreshore, restaurants and the Jetty are a short drive for anyone after a bigger night out or a swim in Geographe Bay.
Shopping
Day-to-day shopping is well covered locally, with the Vasse town centre providing a supermarket, medical and retail services for residents. For bigger shopping trips, Busselton's retail precincts are close by, while neighbouring Broadwater and Abbey add further options for everyday essentials without needing to head into town.
Getting around
Vasse is well positioned for South West travel, with the Bussell Highway and Vasse Highway providing quick links to Busselton, Dunsborough and the wineries of Margaret River. Perth is around three hours' drive north, and Busselton Margaret River Airport offers an alternative for those flying rather than driving. Being a car-oriented town, most residents drive locally, though the compact layout of the town centre keeps many amenities within easy reach of home.
Schools & families
Families are well served locally, with Vasse Primary School right in the suburb and Cape Naturaliste College providing secondary schooling nearby. Combined with parks, the wetlands and a steady supply of newer family homes, it's easy to see why Vasse has become a magnet for young families relocating from Perth or elsewhere in the South West.
Parks & recreation
Green space is one of Vasse's strong suits, led by the Vasse Wetlands with its walking paths and birdlife right in the town centre. Sporting facilities, ovals and playgrounds are dotted throughout the estates, and the short drive to Geographe Bay's beaches and the Margaret River region's forests and coastline gives residents plenty of options for weekends outdoors.
The property market
Vasse's property market reflects strong ongoing demand, with the median house price sitting at $948,000 after growth of 13.4% recently. Median rent is $875 a week, pointing to solid demand from tenants as well as owner-occupiers. Listings are dominated by houses, which make up 90% of current stock, with land at 7% and apartments or units a small 3% — a mix that suits a suburb built largely around family homes on their own blocks, alongside neighbouring Abbey, Kealy and Broadwater.
