Hotels near Simpson Beach, Broome

Habitat resort Broome has everything you ever need and more. Most importantly the people who run and work at this place have the golden standard of customer service. I booked at the busiest time so I had trouble locking in my tours. I had to change my stay from 7 nights to 6 nights broken up in the middle a couple of times. Jane and Michael were so accommodating and helpful they are the best hosts ever. Bono, who works at the reception, knows everything from what to see to what to eat in Broome. Any restaurants and food she recommended were exceptional and so delicious. So do talk to her and follow her advice. It’s easy to get around from the resort. Broome is a small town as long as you have a car everything is close by. I found the best place to watch the staircase is from the beach behind the resort. However Bono says it depends on the position of the moon.

Clean rooms, friendly staff and a shuttle bus to airport that needs to be booked in advance. Not bad considering the price of hotel.

Staying at a YHA is always a calculated risk but with accommodation booked out in Broome months and months in advance (not to mention the outrageous prices charged in the dry season!!), I thought I would give it a go. Quite frankly, I’ve been mind-boggled by the amount of lazy, selfish individuals (generally late teens/20-somethings) who just leave all their dirty cups and dishes and empty food and drink containers all over the place as well as the filthy mess they leave the kitchen in. The free breakfast items are left open and uncapped or uncovered on the benches, with used cutlery covered in spreads dumped there for all the flies from the unclosed sliding kitchen door to feast on. The milk/butter is rarely returned to the fridge. They never wipe down the mess they make but generally leave it for others to do. This occurs on a daily basis. I can’t imagine the state of their homes! The one shining light in all this havoc is manager Shaun who is always so kind, helpful and accommodating. Apart from all that, the very basic rooms are fine, if minamilistic, and the shared bathrooms are cleaned daily (thank goodness!). There is free wifi but this doesn’t work in the rooms, even the private ones. I have to say this experience has been an eye-opener to say the least.

Nice quiet caravan park close to cable beach. Nice pool but that’s all there is for young kids. Stayed here to get out of red dirt sites, this park offers crushed gravel site which makes a nice change. Hit and miss with caravan sites. Some big, some small and very tight. Park was only half full, most large sites left vacant, not sure why park doesn’t offer these in off peak time. Clean toilets and showers, lots of washing machines that actually work so that’s a big tick.felt safe and secure which is nice given most places we traveled through across the top of NT and WA we had to lock everything away when not at our van, or locals will steal it. It’s 2023 , time for the locals to start helping themselves, and not just to your stuff. Would stay here again given most van parks in Broome offer pretty much the same.

We have recently stayed at Seashells Resort, Cable Beach, in a 1 Bedroom King Apartment for 4 nights. This resort is in a great location. It is walking distance to Cable Beach. There is a bus stop directly outside the resort to catch the bus into Broome town. The apartment is very comfortable. The living area has air-conditioning & a ceiling fan, as does the bedroom. The kitchen is well appointed with a washing machine, coffee machine, toaster & kettle, it also has a cooking facilities with hot plates & a microwave. There is a full size fridge. A comfortable dining table & lounges to watch the TV. Outside has an outdoor setting & a ceiling fan. There are outdoor communal BBQs with outdoor settings to enjoy your BBQ. The pool area is very nice with a lot of pool lounges. If you have a car there is parking available. The only downside is the shower is in the bath, but this didn't detract from our stay. We would definitely return to this resort.

TLDR: seems to be popular with long-stayers. Don’t expect help with issues unless on first-name basis with management, the rooms are “too cheap” for that. The thought behind the poor rating is that had there been no issues during my stay, I would have rated the place as average, and had my issue been dealt with differently I would have given the place a good rating. However, such is not the case. The rooms are as expected from the very low price, it’s just two bunk-beds in a small blue room. I had no issue with this since I tend to not spend much time in the hotel anyway. When I arrived, however, I soon met two girls who informed me that they weren’t staying in my room, in which four girls including me were staying, but they were going to move in soon and were for now just keeping their stuff in the room. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I didn’t bring it up with management at first. It did however bother me, because this meant that it wasn’t just four people coming and going in the room, sometimes very late, but six. I felt that paying full price for a room with two extra people in there hardly seemed fair, and so I told management. Management’s response was to huff that I hadn’t brought it up sooner, and then go looking for the other girls staying in my room to ask them about it. When they couldn’t find them they informed me that they would look into it and get back to me the next day. I was checking out the next day but that morning they still hadn’t spoken to the other girls (not sure why that had to be done first 🤷‍♀️). I left my bag behind reception to come get later and told them I’d be back at around 5pm. When I got back the person I had spoken to wasn’t there, but the person in reception told me that I would not receive any compensation because: I had already payed, the room was really cheap, and they couldn’t control if the girls did this kind of thing. I didn’t argue, because it was clearly not there decision to change. The fact that I had payed is irrelevant, and for a hotel to not be able to control how their rooms are used is worrying. As for the fact that the rooms are cheap, yes, for a four-bed dorm. I didn’t stay in a four-bed dorm however, but a four-bed dorm also used as a storage unit. I would like to add that the vibe here is very much that everyone stays for a long-time, so the staff and guests are close and seem to be friends. Perhaps the service is better once you get on a first-name basis with management. The pool area is very nice and the toilets are mostly clean. I didn’t use the kitchen so I can’t say anything about that.

Booked through Luxury Escapes Voucher for 4 nights. Arrived one day late to check-in due to miscommunication, was not contacted by hotel to check whereabouts. Was greeted by helpful reception staff, and champagne. Staff did honour voucher inclusions ie. drink vouchers x8. Difficult to park to check in as not much space for car at reception. Secure parking was good, but the closest car park was still quite a walk from our room, especially in the Broome heat with a lot of luggage as we were on 6 week road trip and no assistance offered for luggage. Car park filled up quickly, and we were left with spaces even further away at times. Room was adequate, exhaust fan in bathroom very loud, ironing board broken (replaced upon request), no complimentary water in fridge, unlike other cheaper hotels. Good television, nice private balcony, good quality toiletries, otherwise unremarkable room. Breakfast was tasty, with good options. Beautiful to sit out overlooking the sunset at the sunset bar. Ocean pool nice, but food only served until 4pm, drinks only until 5:30pm despite plenty of guests still at the pool at 5:30. Advised to utilize sunset bar after this time. Unfortunately, not all restaurants open due to Covid/ off season. Good cocktail menu and quality, different menus at each bar. The resort was well staffed, and maintained, however seemed to be lacking the luxury resort feel we were expecting, especially for the price. Unfortunately it falls short in some areas and did not quite live up to expectations. Overall, unremarkable stay, nothing special.

So I only booked around 6 weeks before our trip. The $2000 price tag for 4 nights and average reviews was quite confronting but I bit the bullet and booked anyways. Our room was the one bedroom with kitchen ( maybe called the studio ?). High ceilings lots of space and clean. We couldn’t fault the room. We didn’t spend too much time on it sadly just spent time crazing around Broome. Great pools, accommodation is quiet! To get around you probably need to hire a scooter or bike or car. Great spot can’t complain really except it’s not a $500 a night place to be honest - it’s just the going rate In peak season.

Very beautiful and well maintained, safe and secure resort, would definitely stay there again! We stayed in a Villa for 7 days, which was private, spacious, very clean and well equipped with full kitchen, bbq and our own laundry with washer and dryer. The bed was so comfortable and pillows were lovely, we slept well every night. We enjoyed swimming in our own private pool every day, it was the perfect temperature and salt water. The resort cafe was very convenient and in a nice spot with great coffee and freshly cooked light brekkie or lunch. The service was great and super helpful. We were very happy with our experience at The Pearle and would recommend to anyone wanting a perfect holiday!

Stayed at the Billy resort for three nights in a luxury queen tent Absolutely loved the accommodation and property Very in tune with the local environment loved staying in a glamping tent. It was very clean comfortable well positioned in Cable Beach Tent had a modern bathroom with a lovely kitchenette in the back with ceiling fans and air-conditioning A very nice veranda area where you could sit and have outside meals that have just been cooked on your private bbq Dean and his lovely wife Sharelle were hosts of this property and they are doing a wonderful job very friendly and available to you whenever you need help with anything along with their well experienced and pleasant reception staff and resort staff Thoroughly recommend this property to everyone I must when you stay in Broome
