Ellensbrook Homestead

Ellensbrook Homestead is a heritage-listed pioneer homestead at Ellensbrook within Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, south of Margaret River, Western Australia. Built in 1857 by Alfred and Ellen Bussell, it is notable as the family home linked to Grace Bussell's 1876 rescue of SS Georgette survivors and as a rare intact example of vernacular colonial architecture. Set beside Ellen Brook and a seasonal waterfall, it is conserved and operated as a museum by the National Trust of Western Australia.

Visitors can explore the modest single-storey vernacular homestead with its original rooms, period furnishings and interpretive displays about the Bussell family and early settlement. The site is set in a sheltered valley beside Ellen Brook and a small seasonal waterfall, with heritage gardens, lawns and picnic areas. Guided tours explain the building's construction, domestic life and conservation. Surroundings include bushland of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park and a short walk to Ellensbrook Beach.
