Michael McConachy, director of Freshwater East Kimberley Apartments in Kununurra said that winning the Deluxe Accommodation category for Western Australia proved that the East Kimberley region has never been in a better position to cater to the discerning traveller. “Our business offers a variety of accommodation options that cater to families, couples, groups and more. It's fantastic to know that visitors to our region can enjoy iconic landmarks like the world heritage listed Bungle Bungle range by day and WA's finest deluxe accommodation by night.”
