Walpole Bay Hotel

Walpole Bay Hotel is a preserved historic hotel that doubles as a museum, with exhibits spread across its corridors and rooms. The hotel's original 1927 Otis lift remains in operation, offering a ride that evokes the era of Poirot. Guests can explore a collection of over 300 decorated linen napkins known as the Napery, alongside vintage household items and memorabilia from the past century.

Rooms include family rooms, double rooms with private bathrooms, and some with balconies offering sea views. Each room provides tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer, and a shower. Public areas include a bar, a lounge, a snooker room, a terrace with floral decor, and a basement vinyl room where guests can play records.

Breakfast is served in the dining room and includes continental, buffet, à la carte, full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The hotel offers an engaging afternoon tea service featuring cream teas with freshly baked scones. No evening meals are served, but the staff can arrange takeaway orders from local restaurants and set a table in the dining room.

Walpole Bay Beach is 200 meters from the hotel, a two-minute walk away. Nearby attractions include the Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, the Granville Theatre (8 km), and the community beach sauna. Free street parking is available outside the hotel without restrictions.

The hotel welcomes pets under its pet-friendly policies, allowing guests to bring animals. Family rooms accommodate groups with two double beds, and the hotel's lounges and outdoor spaces are suitable for children. The 1927 lift and the in-house museum provide engaging experiences for younger guests.
