Comfortable, quiet and clean. Also rare for Broome during peak tourist season: it’s affordable. I have been in and out of Broome for nearly 20 years of work and holidays and have stayed in the good, the bad, the indifferent, but nearly always the expensive in that time.
I’ve been reticent to try Airbnb because of the unknown quality factor. Judith and Alan have, however, created something special and the spacious unit is separate to their home, making this a quiet getaway. This definitely ticked all the boxes for me – very clean, quiet street, very large bed-sitting room, an excellent mattress on the bed, lots of natural light in the room, and close to Cable Beach for my morning swim.
Booking & arrival details were very efficiently organised and communication was warm and welcoming. The attached kitchen and bathroom have everything needed and are well laid out. Some additions that I liked very much were the very large library of books to browse through, use of a flash new bike to cycle the 10 minutes to the beach, and use of their backyard pool. Also the main house is a lovely tropical Broome style, designed for the North, with many artistic features, rather than a lost-looking brick house designed for a cold climate, which Broome seems to have too many of. Alan and Judith are very warm hosts. They were not intrusive, but I was up for a chat, and enjoyed talking to them a few times during my stay on all sorts of local and global topics. They own and write Earth Garden Magazine and are thoughtful and well informed on many things. On was even offered some seasonal greens from their big vegie garden. Would definitely recommend.
