Located between the desert and sea on Western Australia's north-west Coast. Accommodation at Oaks Broome is perfectly placed to offer enjoyment of Australia's pearl industry capital and a naturally beautiful holiday location.
Tropical, relaxing and uniquely Australian, Broome is a town drenched in sunshine, history and atmosphere. Known as the Gateway to the Kimberley and filled with character, Broome is a one of a kind destination with so many things to do and so many ways to relax.
Called Minyirr by the Yawuru people, its traditional owners, Broome is famous for its warm winter nights, balmy evenings, camel rides on Cable beach, twenty two kilometers of white sand and turquoise waters. | |  |
Only two and a half hours flight time from Perth, capital of Western Australia, visitors are treated to a unique experience. Broome is steeped in history. Cable Beach itself is named after a submarine telegraph cable laid in 1889, joining Broome to Java. Originally a pearling point in 1800, the town is filled with subtle reminders of it past. With a rich multi cultural background of Malay, Chinese, Japanese, European, Koepanger and Aboriginal people means its blended 'east meets west' personality is found only here.
During the day try a sidewalk cafe or a local beer to cool down. With the varied cuisines of these regions flourishing, Broome is an ideal place to while away the evening sipping a cocktail and enjoying a tantalising meal. With nine metre tides in Roebuck Bay just watching the waters race out beneath a perfect western sunset can be entertainment.
 | | The next day, sail on an old pearling lugger, or fish the unspoilt waters. Learn from Indigenous experiences such as Warmun Art and the Mowanjum Art & Culture Centre. Be intrigued by Broome's history at the Broome Historical Museum and Broome's pearl luggers display. For nature lovers, try the famous Broome Bird Observatory, sited in pindan woodland, close to the northern shore of Roebuck Bay or the dinosaur footprints thought to be 130 million years old at Gantheaume Point. Take a fishing charter, hire a boat or kayak to explore surrounding rivers and creeks. Book a tour of Broome’s Bureau of Meteorology and the Broome Recreation and Aquatic Centre. For a more educational experience, take a self-guided cultural walk through Minyirr Park or call in on the Broome Historical Society Museum. |
Those from out of town, possibly from the Pilbara region home to mining towns Karratha, Port Head and Newman, can also enjoy some of the wonders of Broome. If you are in town for a full moon from March to October, experience the famous "Staircase to the Moon" as the sun sets over the vast undulating mudflats.
Broome is a relaxed frontier town with a mix of local characters and cultures all set against a dramatic tropical back drop of the red ochre of the west and the sparkling, blue Indian Ocean.
For accommodation in Broome Oaks Hotels & Resorts have two luxurious options to choose from: Oaks Broome and their new Oaks Cable Beach Resort.
