Cable Beachside Villas

Location

The villas are located a short 400m walk from the world famous Cable Beach. Enjoy a stunning Broome sunset or a day at the beach to remember.

Only a short 10 minute stroll to restaurants, cafes and bars, we are on the local bus route for a trip into town.

Broome and the Kimberley have so much to offer and things to do – from cultural tours, sunset cruises, fishing charters, whale watching, kayak tours, flights, pearl farm tours – the list is endless. It’s recommended to plan your trip before you arrive. We can offer recommendations and free booking service for tours in advance.

Close by and for the more adventurous, tucked behind Cable Beach, the conservation area of Minyirr Park has a network of well-marked walking trails winding through its striking red sand dunes. The 500-metre one-way Nagula Walk Trail winds through dunes to reach a more isolated section of Cable Beach and is perfect for those looking for a route away from the crowds. More experienced walkers will love the Minyirr Park Trail, a 10.8-kilometre return trip with stunning views of sea and land. Keep your eyes peeled for native flora and fauna including the red-winged parrot, lizards, snakes and ghost crabs and the spectacular green bird flower.

These early Pearl Divers came from diverse cultural backgrounds, and this resulted in Broome being exempted from the White Australia Policy, making the town a pioneer of multiculturalism in Australia. Around 50 of these divers along with many of their ancestors still reside in Broome today.
