So the instruments I hear are: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums, something glockenspiel- like, and the only thing that gets added in the chorus is a synth of some sort... and that's usually the trouble since there's no end to the synths that can do a sound like that, but that makes it a bit tricky to pinpoint which specific synth did it, especially when there's a good chance it's also being run through some effect or three. In this case, I wanna say vintage analogue, nothing newer than 1980 (or trying to sound like it). Gotye's that sort of guy.
edit: whatever he used.... it's fully backing tracks/ sampler on *every * live performance I can find. Identical. Usually you can get an idea from seeing live shows... but not this time. Ask Gotye himself. He might tell you. I'm going to guess something too expensive to bring on tour. Which is odd since any dozen of things, even a guitar, could probably get a close enough sound with the right effects pedals.
