Top Merimbula Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Coast Resort Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, helpful and welcoming. Position with lake view and short walk to main beach and into town could not be better."

Summerhill Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a nice place in a cute town. When we were there is was cool, so we didn't use the pool, but it looked nice. It was a short walk to a store to buy snacks and we got a pizza from a very good place on the way back. The only problem was that the bed (a queen) was made with two double sheets on the bottom (overlapped like roof shingles)."

The Black Dolphin Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The suite was a large room, apartment style, with a full kitchen and terrace. Very clean, comfortable and modern, with great amenities and everything you need. Located on the Princes Highway, close to town, but the rooms are placed at a good distance from the road, so very private and quiet. Would recommend it for a couple of nights in Merimbula."

Beach Cabins Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing place to stay, enjoyed every second. The place is just beautiful and the cabin was so unique. The view from the cabin was just beautiful. Could see whales jumping near the bay from our cabin. Check in was so easy and they provided local knowledge on where to go fishing and good local restaurants. Loved this place and will 100% be back. Recommend it!"

24 Hill Street - Pet friendly

8/10 Good

"I did not think the property was clean. There were loads of spider webs and daddy long legs in every room including the pantry."

Bantry Two

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and view of the Bay. Plenty of space for all. Would love to stay again."

Our Beach House - with ocean views!

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful spot with water views to both sides of the house. Communication was good once we worked out that the second payment wasn’t to stayz but to Sapphire Property Group. Both were helpful and reasonably easy to contact. The house is spacious with lovely outdoor areas. The kitchen is well equipped. Be aware that there is no door to the upstairs bedroom. A great spot for local walks and to explore the Sapphire Coast. "

Cordova - Perfect Summer or Winter Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location providing great access to many beaches in the region. A perfect getaway to experience nature and all its wonders. "

54 Lake - Beautiful Views, Perfect Location!

8/10 Good

"Location and space was fabulous, however the lack of basic necessities for 4 travelling couples e.g. shampoo, laundry powder, kit detergent etc was disappointing compared to other similar properties we have enjoyed. "
