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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

Unplanned Stay, Unplanned Surprise! Rinaldo.
We had a forced overnight due to a flight cancellation, there were limited choices and we choose Pinctada without any research. Rinaldo was the ultimate host, meeting us on arrival, escorting us to our room and giving us a full brief on what we could enjoy during our limited stay. The next morning his warm smile welcomed us to breakfast and he cooked us a wonderful omelete and even had arranged a taxi for a few of us that had been on the cancelled flight. I would definitely seek this place out on my next visit to Broome, it has charm, quaint, quiet, comfortable and thanks to Rinaldo, amazing service that is rare here in Australia.

Old world charm with true service
We had a blissful holiday in Mcalpine house. One of the most wonderful host , Marilynne is very delightful and helpful with her vast knowledge of Broome and recommendation. She is a true ambassador of Broome. The hotel is a very special heritage building where Lord Mcalpine lived. It was like living the dream of old world charm and culture. We met other lovely guests and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. We finished off our last night with lots of champagne and gorgeous pearl meats cooked by our wonderful host Marilynne. If you like old world charm and caring and personalized luxury, please don't hesitate to book it. This is a gem for us , we are already planning to return soon .

The property is the original Broome house with verandas and open living. After 15 days of exhausting camping my daughter and I were looking forward to our own bed,(I had booked 2 twin beds) instead only a King was available. Wifi password and hotel services booklets not available. Security our the front of the house is poor, the lighting didn’t allow guests and Taxis easy access to the building. No trolleys available for luggage to take to our room

Awesome stay at Pinctada McAlpine House
Fantastic accommodation in walking distance to both the airport as well as the town centre of Broome. Rodrigo was incredibly helpful with our stay and gave personalised recommendations for our visit. He also went the extra mile and checked in with us before arrival to verify our arrival time and ensure a positive check in! The grounds of this historic property were lush and the swimming pool was great for cooling off and lounging.

Taste of Old Broome
McAlpine House is a taste of the Old Broome. The narrow gauge corrugated ceilings and walls , dark timber flooring , original French doors all add to a feeling of stepping in to a slower more graceful era. A leisurely breakfast with interesting conversation from other guests added to the layback feeling. Breakfast jars were prepared by our host and followed up with a tasty cooked breakfast . Very secure property recommended for couples or singles .

Lovely heritage hotel in central position
Two things make McAlpine House stand out for us: the building’s history and the helpfulness of the manager. The building is a gem - hardwood floors, wide verandas and lots of character. Comfy outdoor furniture sits in every corner that you might be tempted to sit a while. The manager couldn’t have been more welcoming. He is a great source of local info and very happy to help in any way that he could - arranging taxis or providing bus timetables. And the breakfasts are tasty too. Would happily stay here again.

eThe knowledgable and friendly manager . The friendly manager was a plus but the property as a whole needs a serious makeover - bathrooms, furnishings, paint and artwork. The Paspaley family will not get return bookings on the history of the hotel alone.
