Renovated retro motel which greets you with amazing views across Merimbula as you walk through your front door and through to your balcony. The most amazing comfortable bed I've ever slept in, loved that cloud topper! Room decor was stunning. Lovely reception staff. You will need to drive into Merimbula for dining and food. A great stay.

Good points: - Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. - The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. - Shower was hot with good pressure. Bad points: - Curtains did little to block out the 24/7 outdoor lighting directly outside the room window. It was like trying to sleep with a night light on in the room. - No climate control. The heater was turned off and the control panel locked under a cover so I was unable to turn it on. - One of the windows was jammed open so it was cold especially given the above point.

Its an old style hotel that has been renovated but still has some 70s features. The room was a great size and nicely furnished. Very comfortable bed with quality linen and towels. Shower soap, hair shampoo/conditioner provided, really nice products. We are travelling up the coast for a few weeks and stayed 4 nights, so we neede the laundry facilities. For the amount of rooms, I feel there could've been another washer & dryer or clothes horse to use and at no cost. A bench for luggage, hooks in the bathroom (only one small towel rail), the shower leaked a lot. The basin was tiny for two people. Overall we really enjoyed the room and views were amazing. These few things would have made our stay just that bit more convenient.

Beautiful accommodation, situated high atop a hillside with amazing views of the town below!! The room was lovely and the comfortable bed provided a great night sleep. Parking was in a covered, lower level parking area, making it easy to access our room. There is an animal sanctuary not far from the motel which we loved. There were a variety of local animals to see. The kangaroo and emu are free to roam the park and you can buy a feed bag to hand feed them while visiting the park. We would highly recommend this stay!
