|
| General Description: |
The kimberley hotel, cool, graceful and quiet, yet still retaining much of the frontier character of old halls creek.
The kimberley hotel is adjacent to the airport and approximately 500 metres from the halls creek post office and town centre the kimberley hotel has view of the surrounding country side.
An interesting and innovative kimberley building style of lofty roofs and wide verandahs is evident as you move into the kimberley hotel's spacious interior. Watch for the brahmin-hide facings and the extensive use of exposed jarrah timbers salvaged from the old fremantle woolstores.
Halls creek, the oasis of the kimberley, sits on the edge of the great sandy desert. It is also the closest town to the purnululu national park where you will find the astounding bungle bungle massif.
The hotel's 42 roomy and luxurius appointed units, like the main building, acquire been designed as petite station homesteads. Fully airconditioned, serviced and fully self contained, they're surrounded by emerald lawns. They're all close to the pool and barbeque area.

| Attractions: |
Halls creek, the oasis of the kimberley, sits on the edge of the great sandy desert. It is also the closest town to the purnululu national park where you will find the astounding bungle bungle massif.
Now a quiet town, halls creek was once the hub of a gold rush in the late 1800s. The odour of gold fever lingers on.
Prospectors calm visit and live here and further inland at old halls creek, the original site of the township. It's a great spot to buy a golden souvenir that is literally 'worth its weight in gold'.
The mud-brick remains of the old post office stand near the creek as a early reminder of the importance of water in a land as vast and distant as this.
There are many refreshing places to swim like caroline pool, palm springs and marella gorge.
Take time out to visit a natural phenomenon known as china wall. Here a quartz vein has pushed itself out of the landscape in what is believed to be the largest single fault line of its friendly in the world.
Another unique landmark is wolfe creek meteorite crater, the second largest in the world. It is incredibly impressive and well worth seeing.
But no visit to this area is complete without a trip into purnululu national park. Here the beehive-like domes of the bungle bungle rise out of the landscape producing an exceptional sight. Coloured red, orange and black they are really spectacular; the sunsets that are reflected on their walls will possess you reaching for your camera again and again.
Here you will find palm-lined rock pools which are perfect for a cooling swim. Walk in the shadows of the deep chasms where your voice will echo against the walls.
With so many exclusive spots in the bungle bungle it is a good idea to go with a tour guide. He/she will provide information that you won't find in any guide book and will point out features you may otherwise miss.
