The only resort located on one of Australia's most famous beaches
The hotel Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa, Broome, Western Australia. Check-in The most well-known resort in Broome and the only one that overlooks Cable Beach, the property's grounds and reception area are impressive, even in the dark. Terracotta warriors stand guard near the entrance, and stone horses in the gardens are pointed towards reception to guide lost guests. I smell the frangipani trees before I see them. I enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. After checking in, I walk to my room. It's a tad confusing to navigate the gardens in the dark. The look A tropical ambience (palm fronds, wooden ceiling fans) is complemented by an East-West design. Most of the wooden structures are bright green or red, a remnant of the pearling industry. Green was a timber preservative paint used on the luggers, while red was an anti-fouling paint used in pearling work areas. Cable Beach Club was the dream of English politician and construction magnate Lord Alistair McAlpine. The resort opened in 1988 after McAlpine developed the land he had bought with a contract signed on the back of a beer coaster. The DNA of the early Broome-style bungalows remains in details such as jarrah floors and wide verandahs. In 1999, the Wen family, the WA-based owners of property company Hawaiian, bought the resort, extensively refurbishing and expanding it to become the Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa. There are two magnificent pools: the adults-only ocean pool and the all-ages Kimberley pool. Tennis courts, mini-golf, a gym, kids' playground and day spa offer more activities. The room
