McAlpine House Broome

Freecall 1800 252 668

Two century-old homes in ‘old Broome’ are the legacy of Master Pearler Captain Herbert Kennedy.


Today their old-world charm and sense of history are combined with understated elegance, relaxed style and unsurpassed personal service.

McAlpine House has been transformed to an award-winning boutique hotel with just eight rooms - each with its own style and private outdoor escape. Here, a sense of space and escape is blended with a feel of intimacy and serenity.

Captain Kennedy House offers a different experience of total seclusion. You can make this majestic 5-bedroom home, with gourmet kitchen and personal housekeeper, all your own. Or, share it with family or friends.

Both these historic homes feature intimate nooks and enchanting dining settings – by their swimming pools, on their covered verandahs and among their lush tropical gardens.

Create your own world among their original artwork and décor reflecting the unique colours and textures of the Kimberley.

Or step outside to explore the wonder, beauty and contrasts of Broome’s azure waters, sweeping white beaches, distinctive red earth and eclectic culture.
