Pinctada McAlpine House
Pinctada McAlpine House stands as a statement property in the heart of Broome, a jewel on Australia's pearling coast. Nestled within lush, mature gardens, this award-winning boutique retreat exudes elegance and charm from the moment you step into its welcoming embrace. Upon arrival, the lobby greets you with a refined approach to art and design that showcases original pieces reflecting the vibrancy of Broome's culture. The inviting atmosphere envelops you as you're guided through intimate nooks and enchanting settings, from the tranquil Chinese Tea House to the inviting library retreat. Each corner unfolds its own story, whether you're sipping cocktails on the lower deck or indulging in serenity among the tropical foliage. The hotel's central features revolve around comfort and relaxation: a magnificent swimming pool surrounded by sun beds, and harmoniously decorated lounges adorned with fetching geometric patterns and judicious marbling. Here, even the most mundane routines feel like a holiday.
Explore the Local Area
Broome's famed Cable Beach, with its 22 kilometres of pristine white sand kissed by warm, crystal-clear waters, lies just moments away - the perfect setting for those magical sunsets. Beyond the beach, Gantheaume Point draws curious visitors with its rocky outcrops and ancient dinosaur footprints believed to be over 130 million years old. The hotel is a mere 5 km from Broome International Airport, ensuring easy access to the vibrant heart of the Kimberley region. Explore nearby art galleries, quaint shops, and charming cafes, all within a leisurely stroll from your retreat. Additional attractions like the stunning Staircase to the Moon phenomenon are just the cherry on top of your Broome experience, with the local tour desk ready to assist in curating adventures steeped in uniqueness.
