Unfortunately our stay at the Observatory did not reflect the usual amazing value we have experienced with other AirBnb stays. For over $600 for two nights we expected more. The property is not as modern as others in this price bracket. The view offers a tiny glimpse of water but mainly your view is a close up of a train station (can be noisy late at night with travellers catching buses). The bed (two large singles pushed together) was one of the most uncomfortable we’ve ever encountered, it was beyond soft to the point of collapse. The bedrooms are quite warm at night as the aircon only does the top floor. We had barely any phone reception (Telstra).
The things we did enjoy were the friendly efficient check in and the proximity to the Jetty.
