A sub-tropical retreat in WA's north.
Pros:

The breakfast was individually cooked each morning and was quite good. The rooms were good and the general surrounds had a nice sub-tropical retreat feel to it, complete with large bird cages that housed tropical parrots, just to add to the atmosphere. Very different, and better, than your standard hotel/motel.

Cons:

While the house has a large variety of ferns, plants and palms, a bit more attention to raking up the dead leaves, and bit of plant trimming would make the place look far more attractive.

McApline felt like a home away from home. Kids free, adults only retreat, that nicely pay’s homage to the glory days of
Pros:

McAlpine House is exceptional. It felt intimate, exclusive, yet very homely. It was close to everything, 10min walk to Matos brewery, or 15min walk into town. But it was the staff and the host that truly made the place special!

Cons:

Nothing. Rate McApline 10/10.
