"The owners are friendly, the room spacious and the (new) mattress ultra comfortable. But the views from the room and your little terrace are spectacular. Can't wait to return."

"We were given the 'penthouse', and it was spacious and comfortable. We had dozens of lorikeets eating from our arms and shoulders on the verandah. Brilliant! Thoroughly recommended."

"What an amazing Motel, the view from the balcony is exceptional. Staff very friendly and nothing is a bother. Big room with a big balcony overlooking the sea. Close to shops and restaurants. Very clean, comfortable bed, amazing location. Loved watching the birds while sitting at the table next to a very big picture window. Just amazing"

"Very happy with our stay. Room was very clean but a little dated but completely offset by the outstanding view, peace and quiet and a really friendly, helpful manager. Excellent value for money!! We will return in near future"

"Snug little hotel on the hillside above Merimbula. Very friendly service. The most memorable aspect of this stay was getting up early to watch the sun rise over Merimbula to a chorus of cockatoos, magpies, rainbow lorikeets and crows. I took several photos from the balcony. All rooms have northeast facing balconies with great views. I liked the location because of the views and the fact that it was very quiet, away from the bustle of town. It was about 2 minutes drive into town. For those who want to be on the beachfront or surrounded by cafes and restaurants, this is probably not the best location for you."

"Was an ideal distance from Merimbula overlooking the town. A great view of the bay and bushland which was full of wildlife. The room was very clean and neat. Janine the owner at the desk is a lovely lady and very helpful with local knowledge. Just wished I could have stayed longer."

"Old-style Motel that's been fully renovated. Rooms are very comfortable, extremely clean & the hosts are very welcoming & flexible. The views over the town, bay & ocean are stunning & it's just a short drive to town or beaches. Copious bird life is also a bonus. Free Wifi worked well."

"Stayed here close to New Year and was wonderfully surprised. Beautiful outlook over Merimbula, nice and quiet location, room was clean and welcoming. Had to leave early due to border closure, and Janine kindly waived the extra day that we couldn't stay, very understanding and a fantastic host."
