Broome has always been known for its pearls - whether it be the 'mother of pearl' shell of the last century or the "cultured' pearls of today. Amidst the resorts and motels we found another 'pearl of Broome', The Bungalow B&B - petit and precious - just like a pearl!... thank you ...

Thank you for a wonderful holiday. "The Bunglaow" was far beyond our expectation. This is a very special place... a true little paradise. We felt very lucky to be staying here.

Dear Julie and Ric, I really felt át home' in your wonderful Bungalow! Who would have thought - I could even throw a party on the deck! I loved the peaceful setting, the tasteful decoration, the closeness to the beach and the delightful breakfast.....
I think there should be direct flights between Broome and Hong Kong... thank you for every thing and all the best.

Lovely... thank you for driving us to the races! .. we lost lots of money but had a ball. Now with no money we will definitely have to stay in Broome! The Bungalow has been beautifully designed. It has been a pleasure enjoying it. Good luck and thank you.

What luck we had to choose the Bungalow. 5 Star luxury and detail at a budget to suit. Felt welcome and comfortable beginning to end and would definitely return. Many thanks for the 'breakfast pack'to take on our excursion to the bush and everything else.

"Thanks for giving a fantastic contribution to my holiday here in Australia. Your hospitality is outstanding. The fresh fruit, the boat trip on the bay - and the unforgetable evening with thai food and Australian football.... what can I say? Will love to come back!

Dear Ric and Julie,
Thank you so much for giving us the perfect start to our honeymoon. You have done an amazing job with the bungalow and all the extra touches from breakfast to coming home to a candle lit on the decking, just made it extra special. We really hope to be able to come back again soon. Kind regards. |

"What an absolute delight this little bungalow is - away from the bustle of Melbourne we fell in love with 'Broome' lifestyle and the comfortable and relaxed cottage we returned to each evening. A full sun, blue sky, a lttle green tree frog in the 'loo' - delights and surprises every day - our tummies were wonderfully full with Julie's great breakfasts and some choc delights, wine and more goodies each day. The beach bag was such a great plus. My birthday for 07 will be fondly remembered .
Thank you. |

"Julie and Ric, What a wonderful retreat you have provided - just first class. Your thoughtful service and advice was much appreciated. And thank you Julie for getting me to the Willie Creek tour bus just in the nick of time! And the abundant and healthy breakfasts were a real treat. I will be recommending the Bungalow to anyone I know who plans to visit Broome in future - and I hope to be back again some day." |

"A week of being lavished by unexpected " golden nuggets' - a flower arrangement here, new soap bars there! Fresh fruit appears like the king's 10,000 hats! Always a delight. Very gracious and very likeable people as hosts. Altogether our life was made easier at every turn. "Oh, man', I come back in a "juffy". We'll definitely recommend this experience to our friends." |

Dear Julia and Rick, this holiday was absolutely wonderful, my husband and I felt very well in your bugalow after the long trip driving from Darwin discovering this wonderful country. We taste hospitality, beautiful wine, great breakfast, attention at every detail and never forget the sunset on the beach with you and your family. ...........

Thank you for your warm welcome to Broome. The Bungalow Broome is a beautiful place to stay and your hospitality is second to none.
Breakfast on the decking was a delightful way to start the day, followed by a short stroll to the 'secret' beach with its sensational sunsets. Returning to the BB always a pleasure, a home from home, delightlfully designed with artistic attention and creative comforts .....

"Broome is an oasis in the desert, the Bungalow-Broome from Julie and Ric is a pearl in Broome. We love to stay here, we want to come back, we are ‘broomerangs’
So many different details are prepared in this bungalow with good taste and so lovely. We learned a lot about how to make guests feel comfort.
Thank you for your friendship, for the champagne on sunset, for laughing and for good memories.
See you one day in Germany or Broome again." |
