Location
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.
