What to expect
Accommodation in remote towns is more expensive than in cities, and quality varies. Read recent reviews, check whether air-conditioning and parking are included, and confirm check-in times if you arrive on a late flight.
Staying outside town
Lake Argyle, El Questro and Home Valley offer a different experience to town stays. Many travellers split their time between Kununurra and one of these locations.
