The deluxe multi- award winning Observatory Hotel has built its outstanding reputation on a combination of personalized service, exceptional facilities and faultless professionalism. The hotel is reminiscent of a grand 19th Century Australian home, luxuriously furnished with antiques, original oil paintings and fine tapestries.
