The views from our balcony apartment were so amazing, the room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were great, tennis court, sit around a fire pit, views of the town from the pool, just beautiful. Only fault is the lack of pressure in the shower

Worst stay ever
Arrived on a 30 degree plus day, no air con, screen door broken and couldn't be locked so door had to be closed. Went to have a glass of wine and the glasses in the cupboard were filthy. Spoke to the receptionist who exchanged the glasses but could not help with air con. Next day found a fan in the wardrobe. Speaking of wardrobe the clothes put in could not be worn due to the mustiness therein.

We met the owner who was very friendly and enthusiastic. He has taken on a massive project in renovating this older property, which has spectacular views over the town of Merimbula. There are still a myriad of details to attend to, and we appreciate that a lot of investment is involved. Our room had no aircon or secure ventilation, but fortunately it was a cool night. Near-new bathroom was very attractive however had some mould present in the grout, so attention to cleaning detail is required.
