“Walpole Bay Hotel immediately strikes one with its Edwardian character, a charm amplified by its fascinating in-house museum and the delightfully antiquated 1927 lift. From its peaceful vantage point overlooking Walpole Bay, the hotel offers a genuinely immersive step back in time, complemented by staff whose warmth and efficiency are consistently noted. The breakfast, a highlight for many, presents a generous spread that feels as much a part of the hotel's rich tapestry as its seafront location.”
