The Observatory Self Contained Apartments

Great place to stay . Vanessa at reception was wonderful . Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area . The apartment we stayed in was spotless and very well equipped. The Observatory is well situated being close to restaurants and the marina. We would definitely stay again .

I loved how simplistic this place was. If we had more time, we would have spent a longer time here. Excellent front desk staff, parking was super easy, and the condo itself was clean. Super easy to walk over to the grocery store, bakery, or pub. Enjoyed!

We stayed for one night but would be happy to stay longer in future. The water view easy access apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you might need. The location was within walking distance to restaurants, the marina and Muttonbird Island. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

Unless you like staying in a microwave oven don’t stay here a newly installed mobile phone tower across the road ensures you have great mobile phone service but for period of your stay prolonged exposure to EMF.

We were greeted by a lovely lady on reception when we arrived. She asked why we were visiting and upgraded our room to a higher, spa suite when we told her it was our honeymoon. The room was brilliant, very spacious, modern and clean. The pool was a great addition and parking helpful. Location was brilliant, near to bars and beach and train station (if needed) We wish we had stayed longer here!

Had a couple of days here with family and grandchildren. Had a 1 bedroom on top floor for the 2 of us and the family had a 2 bedroom apartment. We were impressed, the whole place is very clean, tidy and comfortable, the outdoor settings near the bbqs are a great idea. The pool is clean with plenty of seating and shade sail. Location wise it is a short walk to the Jetty shops, including several bars and good cafes and restaurants. As well it is a short walk to the Marina which includes the breakwall for your morning walk, the fish co op and other restaurants and bars. As well access to Jetty and Park beaches. There are also some good parks with shelters, bbqs and kids playgrounds. Highly recommend this establishment.

Very happy with our stay!

Overall good place to stay, clean and very close to dining options and the jetty.

Located right opposite the train station, and easy walk to shops, Pier Hotel, cafes, beach and Jetty. Couldn't be better location wise. Book direct and save 10% too. Unit was spacious with kitchen and living area. Mattress great, furnishings in great condition with balcony view of awesome sunrises over the water. Hot shower almost instantly. A long walk into centre of Coffs, about a $13 taxi fare, but there is a public bus service that runs every hour. Its faults though are, "a step over the side" bath tub/shower, with no handrail and a slippery bath surface with shower curtain. Awkward and risky for over 65's to get in and out of. Soundproofing is poor and neighbouring unit voices, footsteps, chairs being dragged etc being quite audible, which disturbed our sleep one night.
