Gateway to the Kimberleys, Horizontal Falls and the Gibb River road 4WD only but gives access to Windjana, Bell, Lenard Gorges, Tunnel Creek, Manning and Mitchell Falls and El Questro. Best when graded, otherwise very rough. Derby is a small town, has a walking track to the wharf and back. Accommodation options are the Derby Lodge, Spinifex or the two caravan parks. Rodeo and camp draft was good fun. Jila cafe, great cakes and food. The bakery does sushi and great pies. Neaps at the Derby Lodge, great breakfast and have a cocktails at 5:00. King tide at full moon. Book shop lots of interesting choices, busy little place. All the mechanics, 4WD and tyre places were friendly and very helpful. Boab trees are eveywhere! Very busy in the Dry season, not so many tourists in the Wet.

Checked out big tides at Jetty and sunset, this seemed to be popular thing to do. There is a sealed bike path from the town to jetty which is popular, it is about 2.5 k one way.
Viewed prison tree and heritage walk around town with panels to read. Go to visitor centre it is full of great information.

Derby is a hidden gem with some history to explore.
Derby is a hidden gem with some history to explore. Would recommend to take the 30 km trip there from the main road turn off -just to see the 1500 year old boab tree - if nothing else. Has port and military history also.

Information Centre excellent.
Information Centre excellent. Mowamjum art centre outstanding. Trip to Windjana gorge and Tunnel Creek very worthwhile. Heritage walk and Museum interesting. Dusk at Jetty and Wharf cafe great. Rustys bakery great.
Knowing I’d have a long wait before my tour, I was planning to spend much of my time at the pool. Unfortunately it was closed due to an incident and therefore my time there was pretty miserable with very little to do. The hotel should have contacted reserved guests about the closure prior to arrival. Staff was friendly and provided help in storing my luggage. I loved having a small balcony and clothes washer. Sofa in the room needed vacuuming.
We are two couples traveling the NW together. We enjoyed our stay at the Mud Crab. Brooke, the new Manager, couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. He has many plans to redevelop the hotel. It’s a friendly spot for travellers to meet and chat together.
Towels & toiletries were excellent; bed comfortable, air conditioning effective and fridge, toaster and kettle all useful.
Would definitely recommend staying here when travelling to Derby. The room we stayed in was fully self contained and was really well set up, and included a washer/dryer which is such a bonus when you are travelling. The meals in the pub attached were nice. The hotel was nice enough to let us leave our car in the car park an extra night whilst we travelled to Horizontal Falls.
I had made a mistake and booked for the following month. Thank goodness someone else had left a day early as it had been fully booked otherwise. And after checking the cleaning had been completed, I was directed to my room.
Very friendly staff who gave pointers for things to do in Derby over the weekend.
Hotel met our expectations. Our room was clean and well kept even though a little older. Laundry facilities were good. Restaurants wasn't open the night we stayed but had a lovely breakfast the next day. Value for money.
All very friendly helpful staff. In Derby while the car being fixed. Wayne cooked us a great wild barramundi for a communal dinner. Good pool area. Secure lockup parking with plenty of space for trailers / caravans.
Handy part of Derby to stay, particularly good if you have a bike, as nice ride down to the wharf and along the paths to see some great sculptures! Felt safe at the motel. Good café, hotel and restaurant nearby.
The unit had its own washing machine and dryer and a fully fenced area to keep the hire car safe with security gates. Derby is pretty unsafe at night so it was pleasing to know it was locked away.
The room was a little tired, but comfortable and spacious. The food at the restaurant was very good and excellent value. A good place to overnight when I have business in Derby.
