Each morning freshly made breakfast for all guests was served around a bit table where we got to know our fellow guests, compared travel plans and got the inside information, aided by the team from McAlpine House, on the best things to do.

McAlpine house is a bed and breakfast and doesn't have dinner options in the evening - which meant that we had to go out. Just a few more plates and utensils in the rooms would be great as there is a really nice area to sit outside at night and have snacks, but we just needed the plates and utensils. This is a small 'could improve more' in the context of an excellent venue.

Pinctada McAlpine House is a tranquil, peaceful boutique hotel that is an absolute paradise in Broome. I love the antique-style wooden decor accommodation, and the beds are so comfortable. The rooms have all the comforts of home - TV, bathroom, shower, mini fridge, closet, chests of drawers, etc. I also loved spending all day sitting and swimming in the pool, or laying back on the lounges in the garden area. The property is situated amongst high trees which create a cosy canopy hideaway feeling with birds singing throughout the day. There is a continental breakfast served each morning between 7:30 am and 9am. Served are: homemade yoghurt (with fruit, museli and honey), brewed coffee, tea, cereals and toast. There is a different, surprise cooked breakfast each day (crepes, omelettes, eggs on toast with veggies, etc). The highlight of our stay was the gracious kindness and attentiveness of our host and manager, Ronaldo. He took such great care and interest in every individual guest to have the best possible stay. His restaurant recommendations are second to none. The property is so beautiful, tranquil and comfortable. It is also central, close to a bud stop, restaurants, and short walk or drive to markets, shops and beaches. You can take the bus or drive to Cable Beach, without having to constantly deal with the crowds and chaos when you get back. But Ronaldo's exceptional care exceeded expectations.

Daily housekeeping with no 'Do Not Disturb' signs

Absolutely amazing. The McAlpine Suite took me back in time to another world. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Ronaldo's cooked breakfasts every morning were super tasty and set you up for a day of sightseeing. Marilyn greets you upon arrival and was so helpful with tips of things to do and see. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone and plan on returning again and again.

Nothing

Wow!! We cant recommend this magnificent place enough. Marilyn and Ronaldo were the perfect hosts, and couldn’t do enough for you . Llewellyn , the gorgeous corgi was a pleasure and delight to keep us company. The breakfast was absolutely delicious… Such an authentic oasis right in the heart of Broone. We can’t wait to come back , we highly recommend Pinctada Mcalpiine House to anyone that wants a peaceful, quiet and relaxing holiday that represents the traditional Broome experience.

Absolutely nothing!!!

The location to town beach. Easy access to local bus. Renaldo was an excellent host with heaps of good knowledge of where to go and see. He also cooked a brilliant breakfast feast each day. Really nice garden setting and pool for quick dips! Room quite spacious with nice seating out front. (we had a Garden Unit). Pillows were very comfortable. All facilities were good and Renaldo was quick to remedy any concerns we may have encountered.

With back wall louvered windows were brilliant to allow for great ventilation but the chatter from the neighbouring house (went on to after 2:30am one night) and the occasional dog barks when their visitors arrived there was a bit off-putting when we getting used to the room but the overall sleeping experience was just great once you drift off into blissful sleep.

This is a beautiful historic and intimate guest house. The hospitality here, started months ago when I booked and made a few enquiries. Marilyn, the owner, generously spoke to me for 40 minutes or more outlying the layout of the hotel and making many useful and helpful suggestions re dining out in Broome. Gary , her husband , waited back to give us a very warm welcome ,even though our plane had been delayed by many hours. The highlight though was Rinaldo, who produced the most delicious breakfasts and always with a smile and a helpful suggestion on how to spend the day. The house is surrounded by a beautiful well kept tropical garden and has lots of nooks and crannies to seek a lovely time out in the shade. the pool is also great to have a refreshing swim in. The accomodation is close to town , restaurants, galleries and the bus stop.

Nothing- we loved it. This is an older style hotel so if you want sleek and modern resort style accommodation, it may not be for you… but if you want to immerse yourself in trying out the wonderful Broome architecture and relish in the history of Broome , you will be very happy here.

Dining room for breakfast overlooking nice pool area. Great coffee and homemade bread with breakfast. Ideal location just a short walk from Matsos, which is a must. Comfortable 20-minute walk into town with only 1 small hill, so very easy. Bus stop nearby with regular services into town, Cable Beach other areas with cheap fares - make sure you have the correct change! Approx 10-minute easy walk to the museum and town beach, both of which are worth a look.

Great boutique hotel, we stayed in the Garden units which were slightly away from the rest of the complex. It was so quiet, bed and bathroom were amazing. We enjoyed breakfast with the others who we’re staying, everyday we had something different cooked with as much coffee as we wanted. Would definitely stay here again. The owners and staff were awesome, we had come off an overland 10 day tour and they sorted washing for us with no issues.

A light breakfast each day was on offer, as welll as a set cooked breakfast by Rinaldo.. I did miss a cold juice. Quiet, private rooms in a garden setting. There are only 8 suites at this site & child free. There was a very friendly Welsh corgi who also enjoyed the beautiful surrounds

Sun rises very early in Broome, so maybe a blind over the back windows could help with a light room early in the morning

Old historic home/inn. It was very quaint with lovely gardens. The room was large and very comfortable. Renaldo was very friendly and helpful. He made us a lovely breakfast where we sat with other guests which made for nice conversation.

It might have been difficult to get around the town from here without a car.
