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. ![…the beautiful pool just outside our room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ea8e41a4-26e9-40d8-af02-8ad5c7836185-1748301074893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a761d15-f883-49ce-a3bf-9ce544a13180-1748301076600.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![…breakfast area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e65ac61-6af4-4e26-bd03-701afab5b791-1748301078804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1a22b8a-43c5-44ae-85d0-74ea33a0d208-1748301083097.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patric Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### MICHAEL 21 Apr 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Liked the typically Broome architecture and friendly greeting by Ronaldo. Suite was OK but overpriced. Breakfast was marginal and unimaginative. NOT IMPRESSED by the owner’s dog swimming in the small pool - most in hygienic!!! ##### MICHAEL Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Lori Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 28 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ambience and service 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. ##### Michael Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 20 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxation Was booked in for 2 nights to relax. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamsin 16 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique atmospheric residence with great facilities and attentive staff ##### Tamsin Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David, Sorrento 26 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities McAlpine House is accommodation in a lovely garden setting of mango and palm trees. There are only 8 rooms for adults only (age over 16), most at ground level and adjacent a large swimming pool. The hotel has very pleasant and helpful management and staff. Marilynne and Ronaldo went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. We stayed there for10 nights in August 2021 and were very sad to have to leave and return home at the end of our stay. ##### David Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful accommodation, lovely surroundings. Highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet and serene The house is more like a colonial cottage Surrounded by beautiful trees snd lush foliage It is not a modern, fancy place with masses of people Just 8 rooms with old fashion wooden floors, and old fashion personalised service With a smile, genuine concern and a clean pool The hosts are informative, fun and their employees are obviously happy in there work place A bit of a walk to the CBD especially in the heat of the day, but taxi transfers can be organised quite easily Enjoyed the ambience and the serene garden surrounds ##### Joy Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean 29 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Paradise in Broome Staying at McAlpine House was like staying at a good friend's lovely home but not being allowed to raise a finger to help. You are looked after from the moment you arrive. Our room was very spacious with the charm of 1900's century tropical architecture with period furniture and original art on the walls. The breakfasts every morning are different and delicious and as you will eat around a long table with the other interesting guests, we often found that breakfast lasted for hours. The gardens and pool area are perfect with comfortable lounges for reading or just relaxing. There is secure parking and the House is close to town with all the wonderful restaurants. Marilynne and Renaldo will make sure that anything you need will be catered for----we would highly recommend this hotel----we found out about it from friends ourselves. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/17C3B116548ADD8001FD9E583FAE7C2F8BF537DD1604282017912.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jean Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Luxor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxor-Hotels.d2181.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d184-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [H10 Casa de la Plata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-H10-Casa-De-La-Plata.h34310263.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Activities > [Things to do in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Honolulu.d1488.Travel-Guide-Activities) ---
