A short but sweet getaway, stayed on my way from Sydney to Melbourne. Woke up to the most stunning view over Merimbula in what was a very nicely styled, comfortable room. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Great location, fabulous design. Quiet and comfortable and the balcony is great. Bathroom probably could do with the same redesign as the other rooms but it’s perfectly fine. Really cool place. Loved it.
