The rooms are beautifully appointed and full of charm, with everything you could possibly need. The beds are wonderfully comfortable, and the claw-foot tubs were such a lovely indulgence. The property has been fully renovated to reflect its original style, with a boutique, cosy feel and all the modern amenities you could hope for. Lift access made it easy to move our luggage to the second floor, and there’s plenty of parking behind the hotel with a convenient rear access point. The smart TV was a welcome bonus for a relaxing night in.

The dining room and bar closed at 8 pm on the nights we stayed, which meant a bit of a hustle for dinner on our first night, but we simply went out the next evening and had no issues.

From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, everything was wonderful! It was a spontaneous decision to stay at Hotel Australasia after enjoying lunch here. I asked if there was accommodation available and, as it just felt right, I instantly booked! What a great decision that was!!! My first contact here was with beautiful Melissa, who went out of her way to provide me with information and more importantly, a warm, friendly welcome. Thank you! The hotel is spectacular! It was recently refurbished in 2022 with timely elegance and class. My room was spacious and absolutely gorgeous! A free-standing, claw bathtub, a spacious rain shower, sitting area, Nespresso coffee machine and luxurious bathrobes enhanced my stay. 🥰 Everything was perfect, including the hotel staff and service!!! Thank you so much for making my stay extremely comfortable and most enjoyable!!! PS - I had booked for a one might stay...and then extended it by another three nights! I just wanted to stay as long as I could!!! 💛

There was nothing not to like!!!

Beautiful comfortable, mostly soundproof, clean room, with claw bathtub; gorgeous interior design; lovely helpful staff, comfortable bed, magnificently renovated 1800's building, access to shared balcony from room over looking street and hills with comfortable seating where we could watch the sunset; walking distance to beach. Interesting wall art and paintings; magnificent chandeliers - all with a touch of opulence creating a very special time away.

Hardly anything available to eat on menu for someone with coeliacs, although the chef did attempt to accommodate and I really enjoyed what he prepared. It would be amazing to see a menu that matched the class of the building so we could have dined in but you can't have everything. Still was an awesome stay.

The room was lovely. The free-standing bathtub in the room was a quirky added bonus. We had booked a sea view, which we got, but it should be noted that the seaside is some distance away from the hotel. The hotel bar was a bit chilly in the evening, but otherwise the place was very comfortable and the staff were helpful. The traditional federation-style features added atmosphere.

The place had an end-of-season feel, which is fine, but perhaps more effort could have been made to lively the place up a bit. The breakfast was very much a self-serve affair, where guests had to rummage around in cupboards for extra supplies.

The room was nicely decorated and we had a cute balcony where we had our breakfast. Bed was comfy. The bathroom had underfloor heating. There was a lift which sadly was not pointed out to us at check-in which would have been helpful. Had a nice dining room and a cosy sitting room.

The room was very small and nowhere to really put your clothes. Tiny wardrobe with 3 hangers. There was no door from the bedroom to the bathroom. A dimmer light would have been nice in the bathroom. Had to be very careful not to get water all over the floor from the shower.

Really a very nice hotel. Well appointed and charming. The staff were great.

Apparently the front door has to stay open and when I was checking both the receptionist and myself had to experience a very cold blowing in through the door. A glass sliding front door would certainly be worth considering. As for the room the bathroom area was bigger than the bed area. This was clearly form over function with an old style bathtub taking up a large part of the space. I suggest the majority of hotel guests don’t use a bath and wouldn’t miss it if it wasn’t there. Instead the area could be used for a sitting area and luggage space. There were no hooks for your towels and so the bathroom area was got used to lay the towels over. The food was fine but menu was very limited and the breakfast bread was left in the plastic bags it was purchased in.

The hotel has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated. The rooms are big, the bed is a king and very comfortable. Our room opened onto the upstairs verandah which was great… and our golden retriever loved it.

We had driven from Melbourne and was looking forward to a country pub dinner. We had booked a table but sadly, when we got there we were told the ownership had changed hands that week and the kitchen was closed for renovations. By yhe time we heard this, everywhere else in Eden was closed ( even on a Friday the take away shops etc close early). The hotel was selling limited pizzas, which were fine but hopefully if we visit again the kitchen will be running at full speed.

Rooms were beautiful and a great size. Loved the bathroom too. Food in restaurant was good quality and nice bar to go to after dinner. Lovely town, whale museum really worth a visit.

Their website said last orders for dinner was 20.30 but when we checked in at 7pm, we were told we had to order immediately as the restaurant was closing. We went to the bar after dinner only to be told that was closing at 9 as staff needed to go home. They did give in and kept the bar open until 10ish.

The renovation of this property is exceptional. The linens , towels and bathrobes were lovely. The girl in the bar was great and made an excellent cocktail.

I believe we had one of the smaller rooms and there was nowhere to put a bag. There wasn’t a towel hook by the basin or any in the bathroom and no door on the bathroom. The pasta was fairly tasteless.

Woops! Our first review was mistakenly for another hotel. Hotel Australasia is better, unique and a really delightful experience. The old hotel has been extensively renovated and beautifully decorated. There are rich strong colours and artworks, particularly with an appropriate seafaring theme. Nicely chosen furnishings and fittings and some exposed brickwork and a panel of original plaster and lath in the bar emphasise the old. Our beautiful room, with a glimpse of sea, was an amalgam of two originally smaller ones, and the bathroom section included a free-standing ball and claw bath as well as a modern walk-in shower - and an armchair. Handy. Our bed and pillows were beautifully comfortable. We had dinner in the lovely dark blue dining room and the food was above our expectations - delicious and very generous. Similarly the continental breakfast, with an optional toasted sandwich included. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. The hotel is on the main street and perfectly positioned for any exploration of Eden and there is included parking out the back. Heartily recommended.
