A unique property perfect for chilling out and sightseeing around Broome. Built with the weather in mind, it has wraparound verandas providing comfort and shade with sofas and chairs, situated in gardens providing a lovely oasis. Great little swimming pool with comfy sun loungers. Breakfast was different every day and beautifully cooked, and provided an opportunity to talk to fellow guests and swap travel stories. Our bedroom had a renovated bathroom and was equipped with everything we needed and more.

We just had a fantastic 4 nights at Mc Alpine House and the service and serenity is quite outstanding. The wonderful unique Kimberley homestead building and landscaping is reminiscent of a bygone era. Marilynne is an outstanding host and her stories about the history of Broome and the pearling industry just made our stay a delight. Highly recommended.

After we'd visited several area hotels we were grateful we’d made this choice. Charming turn of the century homestead that’s been renovated into a guest house, while keeping the tropical ambience. Garden Room was plenty big with a King bed. Used the patio for morning yoga, but otherwise enjoyed the grounds when we wanted to have a break outside – plenty of shady and comfortable spots. Shower is huge, towels and sheets quality. In room fridge with complimentary tea and coffee via kettle (incl milk for tea/coffee). Breakfast does not offer choices (this is a B&B, not a hotel), but the food is great and cooked to any dietary needs. And there’s fresh baked sourdough, loose leaf tea and excellent coffee. We enjoyed meeting fellow guests at breakfast, too. The pool looked lovely and well maintained but we weren’t there enough to use it. Staff is super friendly, as is the little corgie. It’s an easy 20 minute walk to Chinatown or 10-15 to the Museum and Town Beach. You’ll need a taxi to get to Cable Beach ($30!! And it’s $20 to the airport!); taxis here are not cheap. The bus service is sporadic at best; we did ride it once from Cable Beach, but it was 50 minutes behind schedule! Having gone to Cable Beach twice, we were glad we had chosen this location instead of over there. Several VERY good restaurants within 5-10 min walking distance, plus whatever’s in Chinatown. I think all others you would have to taxi, but you would also have to taxi from Cable Beach.

…we chose Broome as our Honeymoon destination and with that in mind we chose to stay here at Pinctada McAlpine House. Ronaldo followed up with us via a phone call after we landed and met us to let us into their secure parking. Nestled amongst large trees and the oldest Tamarind tree in the region, privacy is a given. Complimentary Champagne and Cheese platter awaited us. The delightful room boasted a large double toilet bathroom four poster bed and two AC units. Private outdoor foyer and pool just outside our door. With a cooked breakfast every morning and an historic story shared the experience was humbling to say the least our host Marilynne was generous and gracious making sure that any need was met, any questions were answered. We fully recommend staying here and enjoy the history and culture of the Yawuru people and the Kimberley region. Central to Broome everywhere is accessible from the McAlpine House.

Pinctada McAlpine house is stunning and so much a part of Broome and its history. Rinaldo’s attention to detail and hospitality was so delightful. The Garden Room was superb accommodation. Loved meeting our host Marilyn. Highly recommended and we will be back.

We absolutely adored our stay here. We were lucky enough to have the entire place to ourselves! Marilyn is such a lovely host and we honestly felt so cared for; she’s also an amazing cook - breakfast was delicious. I would recommend staying here to anyone, plus it’s an easy walk down to Matsos or the Mangrove for dinner. Also - if you like dogs (we love dogs) there’s an extra special host to hang out with. We will definitely be back.

From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home. The grounds were beautifully kept; lush and quiet, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The morning breakfasts that were included were delicious and elegantly presented. We had a wonderful time at Mc Alpine House and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Just a one night stay but would definitely stay again. Very friendly service, comfortable room, had a little trouble closing the window. Great breakfast, centrally located.

I spent 6 days at the Pinctada McAlpine House, from Oct 29–Nov 4, as a lone traveller. Instantly taken by the warm welcome and charm of both Marilynne (the owner) and Rinaldo (the manager), entering the property was like walking back in time. The ambience of this historic Broome homestead is magical with beautiful décor and exotic gardens. Marilynne and Rinaldo treat you like friends with nothing being too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend this exquisite boutique experience.
