Stay in nature’s paradise at Eden’s new boutique hotel, where service is anything but ordinary.
Once known as the ‘Grand Old Lady’ of Eden, Hotel Australasia reopened its historic doors in late 2022 after a loving restoration. Built in 1904, the heritage building has a rich local history as the heart of the town, often bringing the community together to celebrate, connect and trade.
Here at Hotel Australasia we’re proud of our past.
This history was not forgotten as Hotel Australasia was transformed into an historic boutique hotel, with an elevated dining restaurant, bistro, and cocktail bar. The names of each of the dining venues tips a hat to the past, and the eight boutique rooms are finished with historic design pieces of the original accommodation.
