- Spacious room.
- Close to Club for meal
- Room size good facilities clean and great location
Cons -
- Not even close to a 4 star. The hotel is very dated and uninviting. The lady at the reception desk was very nice. I would never stay there again, though, nor would I recommend it.
- Just a little distance out of town but very minor.
- The facilities are a bit run down and there was a fair bit of junk laying around the outdoor areas.

Close to Club for meal

Room size good facilities clean and great location
Spacious and clean rooms. With private balconies. The bush surroundings.are nice.
The facilities are a bit run down and there was a fair bit of junk laying around the outdoor areas.
Our room was excellent, in a lovely setting, with plenty of room and comfortable furnishings. The only problem was very slow wifi, despite there being only a small number of other guests.
WE DIDN'T ORDER BREAKFAST AS WE HAD FRIENDS LIVING NEXT DOOR AND WE ATE TOGETHER
ALL THE PUMP POTS FOR SHAMPOO CONDITIONER AND BODY WASH WERE EITHER ALMOST EMPTY OR IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AS THEY WERE EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO GET ANYTHING OUT.
Friendly helpful staff the accommodation was excellent.
Our only minor difficulty was the stairs to the apartment.
Spacious room, bathroom
Internet not working, A/c not working. Nobody on reception
Very spacious room, the king and queen rooms we booked for both come with an additional single bed, on top of the king and queen bed.
Freezer section in the mini fridge didnt work in our room.Walls seem to be quite thin, upstairs walking and showering were clearly heard in our room.
We liked nothing about this motel.1) There were ants everywhere, on the bed, inside the cabinets.2) There were spiders and their webs everywhere. The whole ceiling and corners were infested. 3) One of the light bulbs was not working.4) The staff is very rude.5) Location is very bad (didn't realise earlier)Details and pictures are given below.
There were ants everywhere. The utensils might be washed earlier but had a layer of ants all over and I had to re-wash everything before using them - in fact I had to take out everything from that cabinet to make sure we are eating from clean plates. The ants were on the bed (pictures attached).We killed two large and three small spiders crawling in the room. There were spider webs all over, you name any piece of furniture and they were everywhere.We called the receptionist and asked her to suggest what can be done. The lady was very rude. When somebody comes to you with a complain and you happen to be in a hospitality business, you don't just say that you had cleaned the room and if we don't like it then we must move out. The complain was not just about cleaning, it was about hygiene and safety.If you are the manager and the receptionist and also the cleaner in the busiest of holiday season then there are high chances that there is something you ain't doing right. The lady was very unreasonable and too proud of her not-so-good-work and when she asked us to leave at least three time, I asked for a refund to which she refused.We understood that it was a country motel and there was a forest right behind so spiders could come in. I get that but finding random spiders in a room is one thing but living in a totally infested room that had ants & webs everywhere, as if those webs were there for a long time, are two different things. I think that the location of this motel should incentivise the cleaning staff to make an extra effort to ensure there are no hidden snakes or deadly spiders but unfortunately, they just focus on minting money without offering anything good in return. And you don't justify yourself by saying that 'look, no one is complaining so you shouldn't too!'500 AUD for a night falls under an expensive rate. In return, we do expect some decent standard of hygiene especially with small kids. Worse experience!
Good location. Room is spacious and clean. Close to Merimbula. Check in is easy and host is very friendly.
Large Room, Comfy Bed, Large Bathroom
Dog barking most of the night kept us awake
Owner was lovely and very helpful. Very beautiful gardens. Room was very clean.
Just not my style but needed a last minute spot.
Great location to our needsClean and very spacious
I found the bed to be hard but that could be just me. Everyone is different and I prefer a softer mattress.
Very spacious room with large comfortable bed. Fantastic restaurant next door.
Very tight car spaces which resulted in our car being dented.
This property is a fantastic place to stay. Very large room and TV, probably not applicable for a non AFL follower. Kitchen facilities terrific. Stayed 3 nights should have stayed more.
Nada
So quite and bed comfortable Out of town opposite golf course
The room was a great size, beds really comfortable, lots of bench space, massive bathroom, great shower with non slip tiles. Dining chairs very comfy. There was a great kitchenette. Close to lovely restaurant called Wheelers, as nothing else in town was open for dinner or was booked out.
The pool area had broken, loose and sticking up tiles around it, and a wooden bridge that felt very flimsy and u safe, pool did not look appealing at all.
The motel unit was very spacious with comfortable king size bed.
We didn’t see any staff, the office was locked each time we went.
Tired motel style room in need of renovation, comfortable beds, not good value for money
Swimming pool dirty and in need of renovation, spa didn’t work, won’t rebook
