Cable Beach, the long stretch of white sand that gives this part of Broome its name, sits roughly 300 metres from the doorstep of Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa, according to the distances published in Traveloka's listing. That proximity is the first thing most guests notice, but the resort's own story goes back further than its beachfront address suggests. Traveloka's property data records that the resort was built in 1988 and last renovated in 2006, which makes it one of the longer-established resort properties on the Cable Beach side of town, with more than three decades of hosting travellers to the Kimberley's best-known coastal holiday spot.
The resort is classified as a 4.5-star hotel on Traveloka and offers 221 rooms spread across a low-rise, two-floor layout. There are no elevators, which fits the garden-style design: rather than a tower block, accommodation is set among tropical grounds, with studios, bungalows, apartments, suites and villas spread through the gardens. The official Cable Beach Club website describes its architecture in terms of polished timber floorboards, corrugated iron features and Broome's signature lattice, a deliberate nod to the town's pearling-era buildings. Its bungalows are described by the resort as inspired by the traditional quarters of Broome's Pearling Masters.
Another detail that sets this property apart is art. The resort's suites are described on the official site as displaying fine art, with works by artists including Sidney Nolan, Elizabeth Durack and Humphrey Price-Jones, alongside antiques. The property also operates the Chahoya Spa and lists the Buddha Sanctuary and a gallery among its features, so a stay here can be as much about the setting as the sea. For travellers coming from Singapore, it is a resort that rewards a slower pace: sunsets over the Indian Ocean, a camel ride along the sand and long afternoons by one of the two pools.
The official Cable Beach Club website groups its accommodation into five categories. They are listed below roughly from the most compact to the most exclusive. Room availability and exact configurations vary, so check the room options shown on the Traveloka booking page for your dates.
Studios are the resort's entry category and come with either a king bed or two single beds, according to the official site, making them suitable for couples, friends travelling together or small families. The resort notes that interconnecting rooms are available on request, and Traveloka's listing also confirms that connecting or adjoining rooms can be requested through the property, subject to availability. Some studios are positioned on the ocean side of the resort with partial ocean views.
The bungalows take their design cue from the Pearling Master quarters of old Broome. The official site describes them as open-plan, with a kitchen for self-catering, a lounge and a dining table, set within the resort gardens a short walk from Cable Beach. Polished timber and corrugated iron walls give them a distinctly local character, and the self-catering kitchen is useful for longer stays or families who prefer to prepare some of their own meals.
Club Apartments have two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, according to the resort. They also include a large living space, a kitchenette and a private balcony overlooking the tropical gardens. The layout is aimed at families or two couples sharing, giving everyone their own room while keeping a shared space for meals and relaxing.
The suites are where the resort's art collection is most visible. The official site describes them as featuring fine art displays, antiques and ocean views towards the sunset, and positions them for guests who want a more luxurious stay. Details such as bed configuration differ between suites, so review the room description on the listing before booking.
At the top of the ladder are the villas, which the resort describes as adults-only retreats. According to the official site, villa guests receive a dedicated host, breakfast, in-room check-in and private airport transfers, and each villa has a lounge, a dining area, a kitchenette and a private courtyard with a plunge pool. Inclusions for villa bookings can differ by rate, so confirm what is included in your chosen rate on Traveloka.
Across the property, Traveloka's room information states that rooms are air-conditioned and feature refrigerators, LCD televisions with cable programming, private balconies or patios, designer toiletries and hair dryers, with complimentary wireless internet access. Cribs and rollaway beds are available for a fee, as noted in the property policy.
For a resort of its size, Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa has a broad set of on-site facilities. The highlights confirmed in Traveloka's listing data include:
Families will appreciate the children's pool and the babysitting service, while couples tend to gravitate towards the spa and the quieter corners of the gardens. The property also lists contactless check-out and cashless payment for all transactions. Note that Traveloka's listing mentions that one of the dining venues and one of the swimming pools may close during January, February and March, so guests travelling in the early months of the year should check which facilities will be open during their stay.
Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa sits on Cable Beach Road in Broome, Western Australia, on the western side of the town facing the Indian Ocean. Traveloka's area information places several of Broome's best-known sights within easy reach:
The closest airport is Broome International Airport (BME), around 5.7 km from the resort. Travellers from Singapore usually connect through a major Australian gateway such as Perth before flying on to Broome, so it is worth planning both legs together. You can search and book flights on Traveloka to line up your connection.
Once you arrive, the property offers airport transfers for a surcharge. Guests who want a pick-up must contact the resort at least 24 hours before arrival using the details on the booking confirmation, and front desk staff will greet you on arrival. Traveloka's listing also notes that a car is not required to get to and from the property, which is handy for guests who plan to spend most of their time between the resort, the beach and the town. Parking is available on site for those who do drive, and secure extended parking can be arranged for a fee.
Dining is one of the resort's strengths, with several venues spread across the property. Traveloka's listing describes the resort as having a bar or lounge and poolside bars, plus room service during limited hours, and the official Cable Beach Club website names the following outlets:
Breakfast is served daily from 6:30 am to 10:30 am and is charged separately unless your rate includes it, so check your room rate on Traveloka. The official site also mentions a seasonal pop-up called Pandanus Restaurant. Opening hours and menus can change with the season, so confirm with the resort before you plan a special dinner.
If you want to venture out, Chinatown, around 5.8 km away, is the town's historic centre, and the Courthouse Markets are a good spot for local produce and crafts. To round out your itinerary, browse tours and things to do on Traveloka for ideas around Broome.
The strongest argument for Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa is its combination of beach access and resort depth. Few properties let you walk to Cable Beach in about five minutes and then return to two pools, a spa, tennis courts and a choice of restaurants without getting in a car. That makes it a practical base for guests who want a genuine holiday rather than just a place to sleep between tours.
The resort's character is another draw. Built in 1988, it has a sense of place that many newer properties lack: the timber, corrugated iron and lattice of its buildings echo Broome's pearling heritage, the bungalows reference the old Pearling Master quarters, and the suites showcase Australian art. It feels rooted in the town rather than imported from elsewhere.
The range of accommodation also suits different travellers. Couples can choose a studio or splurge on an adults-only villa with its own plunge pool, families can spread out in a two-bedroom Club Apartment, and self-catering guests can make use of the bungalow kitchens. Babysitting, a children's pool and connecting rooms make life easier for parents, while the conference facilities and 24-hour business centre mean it also works for small events and work trips. If you would like to weigh up options first, you can compare other hotels on Traveloka before deciding.
Pets are not allowed at the resort, and extra-person charges may apply depending on the room. When you are ready, start planning your whole trip on the Traveloka homepage.
