Most enjoyable stay

The cabin we stayed in was very clean & contained everything you could need. It was very relaxing, the grounds were really nice and well maintained and the pool was awesome! The staff were friendly and helpful also.

Friendly and helpful

The people who run this B&B were very friendly and helpful - it was a pleasant place to stay. The location would be inconvenient if you didn't have your own transport, but with your own vehicle, it's only a matter of minutes to the centre of Broome or Cable Beach, from a peaceful block on the outskirts of Broome. Even though it's a B&B, the accommodation has a separate entrance from the main house, and has complete privacy.

Thoroughly recommended.

Hotel good value, good location. Easy walking distance into town.

Stayed in new three storey unit accommodation. Nothing to complain about at all.

Sunset camel ride a must thing to do. Willie Creek Pearl Farm , great and informative tour. Broome itself, the people very friendly and accommodating. Even the local bus around town was good.

Homely personal touches

Ari made us feel very at home. The fridge was stocked with fruit and juices, with chilled water and ice, as well and we were invitede to help ourselves. Ari offered suggestions for things to do, how to get around and helped with arrangements.

The rooms are comfortably arranged with good air con (essential in Broome) and stylishly decorated. The kitchen and outside living area are restful and comfortable.

Location is OK, but then again evrything in Broome is spread out so no one area can be considered central.

Broome is not a place to walk around - everything is so spread out. We hired bikes and this made it a lot easier than relying on taxis.

If you have time, visit the new crocodile park outside broome - the one near Cable Beach is looking a bit tired, but useful to see salties up close.

Definitely visit the Pearl Luggers museum in town, otherwise you won't understand why Broome exists.

Reflections is a very friendly family orientated guest house. An excellent place to stay.

The accommodation is well fitted and clean. Our hosts Doug & Margaret Fong are delightful people and go out of their way to assist. The breakfasts we had were of the highest standard. Doug has a strong family back ground in Broome and his local knowledge is extensive. He went beyond the call of duty and took us on a tour which lasted a couple of hours and even allowed friends of ours, who were staying else where, to come along.

Doug also has some interesting memorabilia surrounding the pearling industry that many tourists would not see. Although the property is on the Bay it is a very pleasant area for walks along the shore line. It is about a 20 to 30 minute walk from the town centre, but Doug and Margaret are only to happy to drive guest into town, the airport or other meeting points. We highly recommend the accommodation and service provided by Doug and Margaret.

Broom is a very multicultural town with lots to see and do as well as the beach activities. Tours surrounding the pearling industry are of interest as well as tours to areas of interest outside the town. Broome has developed rapidly over the last decade or so, but it history is very much part of the Australian story. We travelled the Kimberly's from Kununurra and Broom is an excellent place to start or finish an outback tour.
