Hotels near Derby Airport (DRB), Derby

Derby was a cute town with a lovely art gallery where you can watch the artist at work and learn about other artists in the area. You can even get a cuppa and cake there. The sculptures around the town are lovely. The boab trees are interesting. We are at the boab inn and the Spinifex. Both were great meals.

Derby is a quiet town with a strong local community. The sunsets over the mudflats are worth seeing. The Boab trees around town are unique and make the area feel different from anywhere else. The jetty is a good spot to walk or fish, especially in the evening. There’s not a lot of nightlife, but the pubs are friendly and relaxed. Shops are limited, so it’s best to bring what you need. The local bakery and butcher are solid. Fuel and supplies are available but can be expensive. The weather is hot and humid most of the year. Wet season brings heavy rain and road closures, so plan around that. Dry season is more comfortable and better for travel. Derby is a good base if you're working in the region or heading to places like the Gibb River Road. It’s not a tourist hotspot, but it has its own charm if you take the time to look.

everything was shut no cafes open no sunset dinner at the wharf as advertised in tourist brochure, tourist information shut when book stated open till 1pm no where to get info re tides places to see etc we wasted hours just driving around waiting for bus to take us to our tour of the falls Derby very much a dump won't be back and don't recommend it if we do the falls again will be trying to do from Broome.
