Mercure Inn Continental Broome, Australia, offers special rates while airport is closed

No planes, no crowds, no noise and how about Cable Beach to yourself? Now is the ideal time to drive to Broome and enjoy a quiet and relaxing break while the airport is closed for the runway to be upgraded.

Mercure Inn Continental Broome is offering locals within driving distance, or those intrepid travelers from further a field, to take advantage of the lull in the normally busy town and grab a great “no frills” rate at the historic Mercure Inn Continental.

The $70.00 per room per night, is for a room only, plus a complimentary drink voucher for use at the adjacent Capt'n Murphy's Irish Pub (1 voucher per person per day).

The hotel has an oasis style shaded pool, tennis, al fresco dining, in house movies, and large, modern comfortably appointed rooms.
