Broome is a gateway to the Kimberley wilderness and a secret getaway for the locals!

From its rough-and-tumble, romantic pearling history and the cosmopolitan character of Chinatown, to the turquoise waters, red sandstone cliffs and the endless expanse of white sand at Cable Beach - the colours and moods of Broome will captivate you.

Broome owes its existence to the Pinctada Maxima - the world's largest pearl oyster shell - discovered in Roebuck Bay in 1861. The giant pinctada shells caused a sensation overseas and soon a melting pot of nationalities flocked to the shores of Broome in the hope of making their fortune.

Japanese, Malays and Koepangers joined the Aboriginal pearl divers, while the Chinese the shopkeepers in town. Today, remnants of Broome's exotic past are everywhere. The town's multicultural society ensures a wonderful array of gourmet cuisines, colourful characters and cultural influences.

Pearling still remains a thriving industry and the world-famous South Sea pearls feature in Chinatown's string of pearl galleries.

OUR PICK OF BROOME HOTELS

MCALPINE HOUSE

McAlpine House was built in 1910, in the traditional and unique architectural style of Broome. The house now belongs to the Paspaley family, who have been successful pearlers in Broome and the Kimberley since the 1930’s. They have retained the home's magical charm and nurtured its evolution into an exclusive boutique hotel.

Each of the six rooms has a private bathroom, an outdoor area and tasteful Javanese furnishings. Latticed verandahs and cane sofas provide plenty of quiet restful corners and staying at McAlpine House is more akin to relaxing with friends than staying in a hotel.
