Hotel Australasia

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!!! 💛

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.

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

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.

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.
