Budget
Ivanhoe Village Caravan Resort
On the outer edge of town, this oldie has numerous camp sites that spread to the local football oval to meet demand in the peak season. The Barra cabins feel a bit rudimentary for the price, but the two bedroom Ivanhoe Suites look like a bargain if you bring friends.
Kimberley Croc YHA
Bang in the middle of town, 600m away from the Greyhound bus stop, this hostel is the best of the backpacker options. It has everything you expect, plus a pool and a nice communal kitchen. Pickups from bus station or airport can be arranged in advance.
Lake Argyle Caravan and Camping Park
One of the best places to stay at the cheapest price would have to be here on the edge of Lake Argyle. Even though it's 70km from town, you won't need to do without any conveniences as a small shop, restaurant, laundry and camp kitchen are on site. There's some upgrading going on, so it might be even better by the time you visit.
Midrange
All Seasons Kununurra
This was once the best place in town, but now the rooms could do with a style update. Nonetheless, they are clean, comfortable and quiet, making it one of better bargains in town. The garden provides a pleasant walk to the pool.
Lakeside Resort
What the rooms lack in style, they make up for in views. Though it's right on the edge of Lake Kununurra, it is nonetheless somewhat inconveniently located in a residential area, a lengthy walk from the useful part of town.
Kununurra Town Caravan Park
Hidden away in town are shady grassed caravan/tent sites and air-conditioned studio or villa rooms. Facilities to make use of include the shaded swimming pool, plentiful hot water showers, internet and a campers kitchen with possibly the cleanest BBQ in the entire top end.
Lakeview Apartments
Domesticated couples or big groups might find these 1-3 bedroom self contained apartments suitable to their style. The rooms surround a shaded swimming pool with spa next to a BBQ area. Guests have been impressed by the friendly owners helpfulness.
Top end
Country Club Plaza Resort
A fairly upmarket place, but the quality doesn't quite match the premium price. Modern rooms scattered through a tropical garden with a pool and popular but overrated restaurant. A courtesy bus can take you to/from the bus station or airport if you arrange in advance.
The Kimberley Grande
This is about as upmarket as Kununurra can offer. But the large modern rooms have enough style to satiate your expectations if you want some luxury to take refuge in after a day in the sun.
For such a small town, Kununurra has a surprisingly wide range of sleeping options. Rates rise in the peak/dry season 1 Aprâ31 Oct and drop in the low/wet season 1 Novâ31 Mar. Most have a range of accommodations at every price point, but it would be worth checking around if you are looking for a private room as a more comfortable bed may be found at one of the bigger hotels for a price comparable to the donga style cabins that some caravan parks offer, especially during the low season.
