Convenient position but car parking was in an exposed, insecure area. Rather dated and rundown property but did have a good communal kitchen. Seen better days!

Great stopover in Derby

We picked this overnight accommodation in Derby at the last minute onroute to Broome, as we had been driving all day from Kununurra. It was a great decision to turn off the major highway as we made it just in time for the beautiful sunset on the Derby wharf. The Mud Crab Inn is close to the wharf and handy to local shopping. The host is so nice and welcoming and organised some dinner and dessert for us as soon as we had settled in. The double room was suitable for our needs - safe and secure, great air-conditioning, comfortable bed and good shower. We were up again and gone early in the morning but very thankful to Brook for his hospitality.
