Kooljaman
Located at Cape Leveque, the award-winning Kooljaman wilderness camp is a three-hour drive from Broome and is proudly owned by the local Indigenous people. The camp offers a variety of accommodation options to suit different needs of travelers.
If you wish to enjoy complete privacy and comfort, you can choose the luxury safari tents, which come with king-size beds and fully equipped kitchens, allowing you to enjoy the sea view without any disturbance. The log cabins and suites are perfect choices for families.
Additionally, the camp offers dome tents with fold-out sofa beds, ready to welcome you at any time. If you find the scenery itself beautiful enough, you can opt for the simple private beach shelters. These shelters, built with local materials, are perfect for lighting a campfire and watching the sunset.
LOMBADINA
Lombadina is a hidden gem in the Kimberley region, located 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) south of Kooljaman. Here, visitors have the rare opportunity to experience the warm hospitality of the indigenous community. You can choose to stay in two-bedroom apartments or cabins, all equipped with fully functional kitchens and private bathrooms, making them ideal for families or groups of friends. Additionally, Iidool Hostel offers rooms with 5 beds, and the Roundhouse provides single rooms, which are more economical accommodation options. In these accommodations, you can cook for yourself or meet other travelers and Lombadina locals in the outdoor wilderness kitchen. If you trek through the mud to reach the community bakery, the food there will surely make your mouth water.
El Questro
El Questro is located in the northwest of Australia, 110 kilometers west of Kununurra. It is hailed by seasoned travelers as the Disneyland of the Kimberley region, gathering the classic activities and landscapes of the area. Although visitors can now enjoy hot springs, waterfalls, and cliffs here, this place was once a million-acre cattle station.
El Questro offers a variety of accommodation options, from luxurious exclusive estates to private campsites along the Pentecost River, catering to different visitors' needs. If your taste and budget fall between the two, you can choose to stay in the luxury safari tents at Emma Gorge, while families and groups of friends can opt for the ranch-style resort rooms.
Home Valley Station
Another treasure of the Kimberley region—Home Valley Station, is located 60 kilometers northwest of El Questro. If you are looking for a luxurious vacation experience, Grass Castles is definitely a perfect choice. These beautiful cabins are perched high among the eucalyptus trees along Bindoola Creek. No air conditioning is needed; just open the doors on the floor, and fresh air will fill the entire room. You can also hear birds singing in the treetops.
The modern hotel, adjacent to the swimming pool and Dusty Bar & Grill, will remind you of the original residence of the ranch owner. If you want to truly relax, try the eco-tents: no TV, no mobile phones, just the starry sky accompanying you as you fall asleep on a spacious and comfortable king-size bed.
Additionally, Home Valley Station offers a variety of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences. You can choose to stay in the historic guesthouse or opt for more private campsites. Looking for more adventure? The ranch offers various activities such as horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and kayaking, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of nature and relax.
Horizontal Falls Houseboat
In the Kimberley region, spending the night in a houseboat moored in the magnificent Talbot Bay is a unique experience. You can take a seaplane to overlook thousands of islands in the pristine waters of King Sound and the Buccaneer Archipelago from above, and admire the world's only horizontal waterfall.
In the houseboat, you can board a speedboat to enjoy an exciting ride and beautiful scenery. If you feel tired, you can swim and relax in the calm waters. In the evening, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset and delicious fresh seafood, then admire the stunning view of the Milky Way from the deck.
Eco Beach
If you want to spend a relaxing holiday on the Kimberley coast, you can reach the Eco Beach Resort by driving one hour south from Broome. This place is designed to protect and showcase the beautiful scenery of the Kimberley coast. Each beach villa has ample space and natural light, fully equipped, allowing you to relax completely.
Each villa is equipped with a private courtyard or balcony, offering beautiful sea or garden views. If you want to get closer to nature, the eco tents provide a classic 'glamping' experience. You can cook your own food here, share kitchen and dining spaces with other guests, or enjoy meals in your private space. The restaurant offers fresh fruits, vegetables, and local seafood.
Berkeley
Berkeley Resort is far more than just a place of decadence. Although it is relatively remote and can only be reached by boat or plane, it is an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and relax both body and mind. In stark contrast to the wild scenery around it, the facilities and services of this resort are very elegant and noble. Berkeley River Lodge has 20 luxurious private villas built high on the dunes, overlooking panoramic views of the Timor Sea.
You can lazily sit on the sofa bed on the viewing deck and enjoy the beauty of the red canyons or the blue sea. You can stroll around the resort, swim, book tours, or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. After savoring a five-course dinner, you can enjoy the moonlight of Kimberley in the open-air bathtub and then fall asleep in the king-size bed. You will surely be reluctant to leave here.
