The Property — Cable Beach Club
Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa is a sprawling, low-rise complex set among tropical gardens directly opposite Cable Beach. Its colonial-meets-Asian decor and lagoon-style pools give it a relaxed, resort feel without being stuffy. The open-air lobby, with ceiling fans and rattan furniture, sets a holiday tone that suits families and couples equally. It’s not luxury, but comfortable and well-managed.
Chronicles of Broome
Broome began as a pearling port in the 1880s, drawing Japanese, Malay and Chinese divers and creating a multicultural frontier town. The original buildings were simple timber structures, many lost to cyclones, but the 1920s saw the construction of Sun Pictures and the Port Hotel. Today, Broome thrives on tourism and retains a laid-back, seasonal vibe, with a strong Indigenous cultural presence. Its Chinatown district still echoes the pearling boom, with corrugated-iron verandas and pearl showrooms.
Best Time to Visit
Full Broome guide →Best months
May to October: the Dry season brings blue skies, low humidity and pleasant 25-30°C days. Crowds are manageable outside July school holidays, and the Staircase to the Moon phenomenon occurs from March to October.
Peak / festival surge
July: Broome’s peak dry-season month with perfect beach weather and the Shinju Matsuri (Pearl Festival) in late August/September pushing prices high. Hotel rates can double from June to August, and booking three months ahead is normal.
Budget shoulder season
May and September offer the best discounts: still dry and warm, but fewer crowds and prices 20-30% lower than July. October also good, though humidity rises towards month’s end.
Weather & packing
Broome’s climate is monsoonal with a distinct Wet (Nov-Apr) and Dry (May-Oct). In July, pack light layers for cool evenings (18°C) and a hat and SPF for the midday sun — the UV index is extreme even in winter.
Live City Briefing — Broome
- Cable Beach’s beachfront access remains open, but be aware of stinger nets (very rare in July) and always swim between the flags: lifeguard patrols run 10am-5pm daily.
- Broome International Airport has had recent runway upgrades; check your airline for possible schedule changes. Parking at the terminal is now paid.
- A new Indigenous cultural tour, ‘Narlija’, has launched at the town jetty — a 90-minute walk focusing on Yawuru stories and bush tucker.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Cable Beach Club, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor facing the pool or gardens, away from Cable Beach Road West. These rooms are quieter and have partial garden views.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the main entrance or the service corridor, as they can be noisy from foot traffic and deliveries. Also avoid rooms at the eastern end of the building closest to the road.
Best views
Rooms on the first or second floor with a pool or garden view offer the best outlook. The address does not indicate ocean views, so pool/garden is the primary view option.
Quietest floors
First and second floors, especially those set back from the street and facing the pool or internal courtyards.
🔊 Noise notes
Cable Beach Road West is a main access road to the beach and can have traffic noise, especially during peak tourist hours. Hotel service vehicles and guest arrivals add noise near the entrance and drop-off zone.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the first floor poolside for easy access to the pool without lift noise. 2. Check in early to secure a pool-facing room, as these tend to book out quickly.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

💡 No direct stop at the hotel. Get off at Hamersley Street and walk 5 min. Buy a day pass for $7 if you'll ride more than twice.
Mangrove Hotel (Cable Beach area) → Cable Beach
💡 Cheapest way to the beach but the last bus leaves Cable Beach at 6 PM. Sunset over-runs often leave you walking back.
Broome International Airport (BME) → Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary

💡 Cheaper than taxi for solo. They drop at the hostel entrance. Call 08 9193 5577 for pickup.
Broome Town Beach / Short St Terminal → Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary (on Cable Beach Rd)

💡 Use this for groceries or Sunday markets (if it's Saturday). Bus stop has no shade—bring a hat and water. Leaving town, wave clearly to flag it down.
Broome International Airport (BME) → Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary
💡 DiDi is generally cheaper than Uber here, but don't rely on it late at night – drivers are scarce after 8pm during the dry season.

Top Attractions in Broome
💡 Go before 9am for the best pick of fresh mangoes and less heat. Cash only at some stalls.
💡 Pick up the brochure from the Visitor Centre on Carnarvon Street. Wear sturdy shoes—some footpaths are uneven.
💡 Buy takeaway fish and chips from Aarli (across the road) and eat on the grass at sundown — cheaper than the resort restaurants.
💡 Start at the Sun Pictures cinema and pick up a free trail map from the visitor centre on Weld Street.
💡 Swim only between October and March — stingers and crocodiles are a real risk otherwise. The fish and chip shop at the top of the beach is good value for a cheap lunch.
💡 Check the tide chart—best at low tide when the mudflats are exposed. Great spot for a free BBQ, bring your own meat.
💡 The Broome Sunset Markets are held here on Thursdays (April to October) with food stalls and live music. Best for families—the water's calmer than Cable Beach.
💡 Go at extreme low tide (check tables online) and walk around the jetty pylons. The footprints are subtle, so look for three-toed impressions in the hardened mud. Sunrise is best for light and fewer people.
