Guest Reviews

Wish that all B&B’s were like this There was nothing that we did not like
- Lauren (10/5): -
- Molly (10/5): Observatory Guesthouse had exactly what we needed for a fantastic price. Chatting to other guests during breakfast was l - The included self-serve breakfast and car parking space on the property were huge wins. The room had a mini fridge which was super helpful. Overall value for money was greatly realised. The location, comfort and cleanliness were perfect. There was a bit of an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Aside from this, everything else about the property was fantastic.
- Paul (10/5): Great spot for a stay in Busso - Well laid out.
Good breakfast area. Nothing

- Corentin (9/5): -

- Robert (7/5): -
- Jeremy (5/5): - Breakfast was a real plus. The bed was most uncomfortable and should be replaced. Fittings were tired. The bathroom left a lot to be desired for a disability area.

- Thanh (8/5): - Location is very good. Easy to check in Complimentary breakast is very poor

- Axel (8/5): Convenient location - Good for a short stay in Busselton - • Great location with clean, modern rooms

• Well-organized self-service property that offers good value for money
• Jetty, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance • Lacks a personal touch; there is no host or contact person on-site, creating an anonymous atmosphere
• Written communication from the owner/manager is also anonymous, as messages are signed only with the property name
• Self check-in process
• Breakfast is self-service with limited options
• Rooms can be a bit noisy due to insufficient soundproofing
- Amanda (5/5): - The accommodation was in an excellent position and it was clean. The place was very tired. Bed was lumpy. The key code for breakfast didnt work and we received no help. There is no one on the premisses. No butter was available to put on your toast.

- Christine (7/5): Value for money, We will book again. - We initially had trouble with codes, however after a few ph calls, the lovely young lady (manager) was there within 15 mins to rectify.

- Steven (8/5): Enjoyable 1 night stay and would definitely book again - Location and comfort No kettle in room, no butter for toast
- Isabelle (6/5): Séjour décevant pour un Guest House; néanmoins chambres propres et lits confortables - L'intitulé "GUEST HOUSE" est trompeur: pas de lieu de vie partagé, on ne voit personne
Petit déjeuner très décevant

- Beth (8/5): -
- Amy (9/5): -
- cdhm (7/5): - Very comfy queen sized bed with too bed side tables and electricity wall outlets, spacy bathroom, very nice furnitures with a desk wide enough to seat two people and still some space to move within the room.
Breakfast with three types of bread, cheese, jam, honey, vegemite, etc. Cereals, milk, coffee, tea, yoghurt, fruit, as well.
I want to give a higher score, but although this is a very nice place, there also were some severe issues, which I cannot ignore. The owner/employees never answer any messages at all!
Before booking, I called to ask where I can store my bicycle for the night. I was told that they have a garage or I could bring it onto the room. During booking I asked to confirm, but my request wasn't answered. After booking, I sent another message with the same question, but no answer either. And there was nobody to allow me to put my bike into the garage. Therefore, I put my bike into my room, but I had to carry it up to the first floor through a very narrow staircase.
The rooms are very nice, but there are no noise cancelling windows. Thus one can hear the traffic on the street until about 10pm or 11pm and from 7am. However, it is quiet at night.
One of the five rooms they have is on the ground floor. For my bicycle I wanted to book that room. Therefore, during my pre-booking telephone call, I also asked which room that one is. But I got the wrong information: very bad!
During breakfast on the two days I stayed there, there was no butter. In the first morning I told the cleaner, but there was no butter on the second morning, too. She replied that they had ordered butter from a store, but it hadn't been delivered. Well, I perfectly understand that in Australia has a butter shortage and therefore are no shops where one can buy butter 🤪.
- Torsten (8/5): Sehr gute Unterkunft für eine Nacht wir würden wieder buchen - Sehr gute Lage fast direkt am Strand und zur Seebrücke Nichts was sich lohnen würde zu erwähnen
- Colleen (5/5): Not worth $217 - The room was quite clean and adequate though dated. The noise of the French staff member speaking loudly and playing loud music from 5am.
No butter.
Couldn’t open my window.
- Sarah (8/5): - The shower pressure is exceptional! The breakfast wasn't very inclusive. Having even a single alternative milk option would have made such a difference for me (vegan), my guest (lactose free)
- Esther (9/5): Great - Great location, self check in: easy to manage, nice color choices of decorations, variety of breakfast options. luggage storage
- GUAN-TING (7/5): -
- Avrel (9/5): Very clean and comfortable, great location - Good location
- Leah B (6/5): - The location The bed
Ants in our room

- Sharon (9/5): Excellent, clean, well priced accommodation - Beautiful room, clean and had everything we needed. Light breakfast included which was an unusual, but welcome addition. Easy non-contact check in and non-contact access to the breakfast room. We were in room 5. Despite soundproofing there was a little noise from the apartment next door (also sounded like children!)
- Sharon (8/5): Comfy bed and breakfast - Easy check in and communication. Clean and tidy. Good continental breakfast. Great location few minutes' walk into town and jetty, plenty of places to eat and supermarkets. Close to everything. Good parking Did not meet the owners! It was all done by message but only a minor issue!
- Dominique (10/5): - Idéalement situé dans un cadre reposant.
Une très belle étape.
Je recommande.

- Olesia (7/5): Good value - Location and overall cleanliness, good price Room is a little small, breakfast is very basic
- Reece (9/5): - Was close to everything,breakfast included and clean and easy access Only bad thing The walls are very thin and the people staying the night when we were there were insanely noisy and the next morning screaming at each other
- Mathieu (8/5): Belle station balnéaire avec son activité principale la jetée de 1841m sur l’océan - La facilité d’accès et la pleine autonomie avec le principe de serrure à code Le manque d’insonorisation avec la pièce voisine (hôte)

- April (10/5): -
- Santiago (3/5): Not recommended. - Location is great.
Cleaning staff are friendly and very helpful. There is no one in the premises to help you apart from the cleaning staff, which ended up helping me.
The double bed was two joint beds without coberting the middle space, therefore very uncomfortable.
You can hear other people’s rooms tv and conversations.
I called the hotel to see the possibility of an early check-in, and the lady in the phone was not only not helpful but also rude.
The pillows are not comfortable at all.
- Petro (10/5): I love that this place is so convenient close to the Busselton jetty and basically everywhere. It is quiet and peaceful - It is a beautiful clean and quiet little place None
- Michael (5/5): - Location is great and very easy to find. Very clean and well maintained. Bed and sheets were not comfortable with an air con unit that was quite loud.
- Terri (10/5): -
- Terri (10/5): -
- Arthur (3/5): Never again. 4 adults in 2 rooms - Dirty kitchen. Poor continental breakfast. No staff to complain too.
- Anne (8/5): Comfortable, clean and convenient. - Liked the location near to Busselton jetty. Easy to check in. Private parking. Great shower and clean, modern, well equipped rooms. Rooms close together and could be noisy. However ‘adults only’ ensured no children were making noise and our stay on a Friday night was very quiet and we slept well. The stair carpet was worn and needed smartening up.
- Barbara (6/5): We love Bussleton - Location was great 4nights stay and didn’t get the room serviced at all ,I can understand if it’s only two nights but 4 nights should get the room serviced at least once.
Twice the electronic door lock didn’t work and we had to wait outside for one and a half hours the first time and over an hour the second time for someone to sort it.
- Lesley (8/5): Second time staying here and will definitely go again - Location, breakfast, parking on site . Room size Our TV had problems which was reported but it didn’t resolve the problem, not a great problem really
- Shaune (8/5): Cheap and convenient for the money - Great location, good size beds and breakfast is good Some confusion when we got there not able to get into our apartments the locks on the doors were fiddly and hard to use.
- Kaitlyn (8/5): -
