There is plenty of Broome accommodation to choose from if you are heading off to explore this fantastic part of the Kimberley region in Western Australia. Set on one side of a peninsula, you get the best of both worlds in Broome, with the Indian Ocean on one side and mangrove swamps on the other. There is a great deal to do and see, and the surrounding environment with its pink and red cliffs and earth is quite beautiful.
You can easily find the accommodation you need for a holiday at Broome by going online. Travel agents that work online often offer discounts or specials that include the air fare and accommodation costs together. It only remains to compare one with the other so see who is offering the best deal. If you book online it is often cheaper, too.
Anyone who doesn't care too much about the price will find plenty of accommodation options from luxury hotel rooms through to resort style accommodation. You may even opt for a villa or holiday cottage if you want more room and privacy. Since tourism is big in this part of Australia there is certainly no lack of places to stay. Those who are just passing through would probably find bed and breakfast style accommodation suitable, or be happy with a hotel or motel room.
One thing you have to take care about is the time you go to this area. Summer is hot and stormy with many roads closed due to the frequent tropical downpours. Winter is the best time weather-wise, since the temperatures are still hot compared to other wintry places, with 30C being average. The days will be fine and sunny as rain rarely falls during the winter months.
Many tourists from the east and south of Australia choose to go to Broome for their winter holidays as they then miss the worst of the cold weather in their home town. Many residents in Australia can only dream about it being hot enough to swim during those freezing winter months that they have to spend rugged up in all their winter gear.
Once you have your accommodation in Broome sorted out, there is plenty to do there. Broome is host to many festivals and other events; there are indigenous rock paintings from ancient times to admire, art galleries and gourmet restaurants to enjoy your meals at. Weekend markets offer the chance to purchase local souvenirs and tropical fruit. There is lots of information available online. You are sure to have a fine time in Broome.
