Broome sits on Western Australia's Kimberley coast, famous for Cable Beach, a 22-kilometre stretch of white sand that ranks among Australia's finest. The town's remote location (2,200km north of Perth) and small population create a distinctive accommodation market: limited options, seasonal pricing swings, and a mix of luxury resorts and budget-friendly parks.
Cable Beach Road connects the town centre to the beach, with most hotel and resort properties lining this strip or sitting directly on the beachfront. Chinatown (the original town centre) offers heritage character, pearl shops, and the town's main restaurants. The two areas are about 5km apart, walkable but more comfortable by car in the heat.
Broome's dry season (May-October) transforms the town into a busy holiday destination, with prices reflecting the demand. Wet season (November-April) empties the town almost completely, many hotels reduce operations or close entirely. The pearl diving history, dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point, and the "Staircase to the Moon" tidal phenomenon add cultural interest beyond the beach itself.

Where to Stay in Broome
Broome is Cable Beach, pearling history, and the gateway to the Kimberley. One of Australia's last great wilderness regions. The climate creates extreme seasons: dry season (May-Oct) is paradise with camel rides at sunset, while wet season (Nov-Apr) empties the town and slashes prices. The hotel market is small and premium-skewed, with Cable Beach resorts dominating.
What to Expect
