We were very impressed with the facility. It was clean, tidy, well located, and excellent value for money. It was very well set up, and the ease of access was very convenient. A very well appointed property, and we would have no hesitation to stay here again, or to recommend it to anyone else. AAA+++

The name of the room under the room number would be helpful. We booked on Booking.com and booked the room under a name, but there's only numbers on the doors. We only knew which number was our room because I'd called the main office. Nothing in the communication we received stated a room number.

1. The location was amazing, close to cafes/restaurants and to the Jetty. Great for morning and afternoon walks along the waterfront. 2. There was plenty of room to move around and the bed was very comfortable. 3. The continental breakfast was a bonus and a good selection available. 4. On site parking makes it a breeze to come and go as you please. Overall, it was ideal for our short stay!

1.The bathroom has been renovated and was clean. The use of a shower curtain instead of a shower screen is not very hygienic and the water splashes out easily. 2.The split system was leaking quite badly and we had to use the rubbish bin underneath. There was an ironing board placed underneath the AC, so we could not hear the water dripping at the start. We walked into a puddle of water which made us realise the issue. We did report it to the manager.

We did not see staff during our stay there as it was done with email and codes but very efficiently, so no problem. It only has 5 rooms so was like staying in a big house. The front garden was beautiful and there was a shared balcony upstairs to sit and watch and listen to the birds with a wine in the afternoon, or coffee in the morning. They also had breakfast items supplied in the shared dining room to help youreslf with after 8am. As I am wheat intolerant, I brought my own bread and fruit, but they did supply porridge, which I ended up having, so no problems.

We couldn't have breakfast until after 8am, but we realised it is because the coffee machine is so loud that it would disturb the other visitors.

Very convenient place to stay close to restaurants, taphouse/brewery, The breakfast was continental but lots of choices, coffee machine. Self checkout was different but very well explained. Cleaner next morning was very friendly. I was a bit anxious after seeing some of the reviews but it was very clean and noise levels were minimal. Overall a great stay without the extra luxuries of a resort that you don’t use anyway.

Staircase to the room was a bit narrow and steep, but if you pack accordingly, with smaller bags it wasn’t a problem.

location and room itself

Stayed in room 4 first level. Room above was extremely loud when someone was walking around and having a shower.

The location was perfect, very central, although not easy to find in the dark. I love that my room had an extended desk - I could spread out and still have everything I needed within reach.

The mattress was way too hard and in need of replacing. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom was too far away, as I had to twist to reach back (using a shoulder that has had surgery).

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of Observatory Guesthouse. Our daughter lives in the area so we visit very frequently but her house is too small to accommodate us. Over a 10 year period we have stayed at about 20 different hotels from Busselton down to Yallingup. The prices are outrageous. We stayed at Cape Lodge when it cost $600, & now it costs $1000! To find a nice place to stay for $163 is miraculous, almost unbelievable. And our room & bathroom, even the outside deck were very clean. No mold in the bathrooom! Yeah.

Brown street is very noisy at night. Possibly worse in room 1 where we were. I don’t like wearing earplugs, but it was thoughtful of them to provide them in the room. We were awoken by loud passing cars several times during the night. It was the first time I ever stayed anywhere and never saw a single staff person. I understand that’s the way of the future, but it still feels a bit odd.

Absolutely brilliant location, room was nice, staff was really lovely. Loved the complimentary breakfast. Very easy to check in.

only problem was shower made a bit of a rumbling noise when turning it on and there was a bit of hair in my bed and since it is a guest house you can hear noise from other guests pretty easily but I’d say it’s good value for money.

A lovely comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. Check in was easy as was the access to the breakfast room

Not really a dislike but surprised to hear children next door to us considering we had booked into Adults Only accommodation. No power point in the bathroom.

Location, ease of checkin/out, ease of booking

Uncomfortable bed. Needs replacing, way too hard. Pillows terrible. Breakfast area could have been better arranged as tables too close together. Breakfast- get some better quality bread, and please have butter not plastic margarine. Less is more when it comes to quality. Homemade jar of jam, quality bread, rather than all that plastic packaging of crappy products.
