About Broome

Broome is a small coastal town located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is famous for its stunning beaches, rich history, and unique culture. Broome is an ideal holiday destination, and its popularity is due in part to the fantastic weather, which varies throughout the year. If you’re planning a trip to Broome, it’s essential to know the best time to visit, as this will impact the activities you can enjoy and the crowds you’ll encounter. 

High Season in Broome

The high season, which runs from May to October, is the busiest period for Broome. Visitors from all over come to experience the mild climate, clear skies and glowing sun. To ensure that you secure your desired accommodation at Cable Beach Club during this busy period, it’s recommended that you book early. Many visitors book years in advance to secure the best rooms so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.

During the high season, you can expect temperatures that are similar to the summer season, sitting around 31 degrees celsius.
