We have been coming here for many years and always look forward to the stay, the service and seeing the owners. Only walking distance to the Busselton Jetty and in a quiet part of town. Rooms are neat and clean. 2 reading areas outside for guests - one upstairs, one downstairs. Homely and very comfortable.

Stayed one night before Easter in this quaint little guesthouse and it catered for our needs very well. The room was clean and tidy, beds comfortable and dining room for breakfast lovely, looking out over the garden. Great location for Busselton's attractions, with the beach down the road and pier nearby etc. Would highly recommend this for a short stay... More

My husband and I stayed btwo nights on a trip to Busselton early January 2013. I spoke to the owners before booking and Sandra was very helpful, explaining that if there was no one in attendance when we arrived, the key would be in the letterbox, that breakfast is self serve and to help ourselves to the strawberries under the...

My husband and I spent one night here on the 31st December 2012. Great location just a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the iconic Busselton Jetty plus a great hotel, The Esplanade, just around the corner. Rooms are comfortable and air conditioned with tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast is continental and you help yourself which means you... More

We were quite disappointed with the Observatory Guesthouse. It looked very nice on their website, where it is advertised as "small family owned b&b". In fact, we did not see the owners at all - the key was in the mailbox and also on the next day there was no one there at all. The room was ok, but the... More

Very disappointed with breakfast as only had cereal and toast but stated cooked breakfast and that was confirmed with fellow guests while having breakfast. Other than that it was good

Philome Hi We are so very disappointed that you received the incorrect information regarding breakfast options during your recent stay with us. We had previously offered a cooked breakfast option but we are a very small business and have been affected particularly hard by the global recession. Late last year we took the decision to restructure our business. We removed... More

May is probably getting into the weather that’s not all that flash for bike riding but it all turned out OK in the end. How was the ride back home, a little wet maybe? You obviously got back OK.

Clean, comfortable and quiet, yet close to the main drag & the waterfront. Perfect for a weekend away.

Decent location.. and quiet .. easy parking, well equippred room.. Don't go if you want pampering.. The hosts are off site and they set up breakfast in advance so its fairly standard fare but perfectly adequate. Nice area to sit including verandah and a just over five minute walk from town centre and the famous jetty.

AlancheshireEngland Hi Thanks for staying with us and thanks for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. And it’s a hard one to pick with the “pampering” thing. Some people would sit and talk all day where others prefer to keep to themselves. We try and gauge it either way and accommodate both styles if we can. We... More
