“A collection of nine indulgent suites in a charming yellow-painted inn dating back to the 1800s. Admire beautiful views of Sawyer Bay & flower-filled gardens from suites bedecked in warm, moody tones, with antiques, artwork & polished wood. There are kitchenettes, a shared guest lounge & a gym, too.”

The World's Best New Hotels in Australia

"If these walls could talk, they would tell tall tales of sailors and shipwrecks, of bar fights and love affairs. The historic structure built by the grandfather of a former prime minister in the North West port town in the late 1800s. A pub until 1972, the compound is now a beautiful inn outfitted with vintage pieces and organic textiles — and a yoga studio in the old stable."
