![Now Broome and the Kimberley is an amazing spot to do a road trip! I would recommend flying in from Perth, starting in Broome with a few days and then heading into the Kimberley. A must do in Broome is the cable beach sunset camel ride, there are two operators that do a very similar walk. Try to time it around the low tide so you have beautiful reflections whilst walking on wet sand. #RoadTrip ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130646/61876d02-e7d1-49d1-abeb-bdc5663e0d3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is reasonable new, modern, and impeccably maintained. The majority of the staff are highly professional, well trained, and consistently delivered an exceptional level of service throughout our stay. The bar and lounge areas are well designed, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, although we did not have the opportunity to make use of the facilities on the occasion. We also would like to express our sincere appreciation for the warm hospitality extended to us during our special occasion. The thoughtful hotel gifts were a lovely gesture and greatly appreciated. Overall, our experience at Amora Hotel Brisbane was most enjoyable, and we would be happy to recommend the hotel."
