Beach Cabins Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"Great property to stay at!"

The Black Dolphin Motel

10/10 Excellent

"One night away with myself and daughter for a beach trip. We did not liaise with any staff so could not really rate that appropriately. The room was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean, great location, easy parking and seamless check-in. The business spans over two large properties. We were opposite the holiday park. There was a pool available on our side, and a small water park area with slides and sprinklers available in the holiday park side. I am unsure if you are able to utilise this if you're not staying on the holiday park side. Worth checking if you are travelling with kids. The property itself was really well maintained. Gardens, walkways, amenities. We come to Merimbula from Canberra often, and have tried out quite a few of the hotels. Some hits, a few big misses, but this one was a hit. Will definitely stay again. As my daughter put it "This is our new spot we can come to every time!""

The Black Dolphin Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The property and facilities were great, the only downside was that there was no hand soap provided withing the villa/cabin. Nothing at basins and the fixed bodywash dispenser in shower was empty."

Summerhill Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We weren't really sure what to expect when we booked Summerhill Motor Inn, given it was one the older looking venues in Merimbula. I can definitely say we were more than happy with our booking. The Inn was spotless!! Our room was immaculately clean, the bed was great and the pillows just fantastic. So much so we asked the owner where can we buy them!! Absolute value for money!!"

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."

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. "

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. "
