Loved our stay here. Jane was such a pleasure at check-in and provided many great recommendations for restaurants in the area. The room itself was well taken care of and very clean. It was wonderful to have a kitchenette at this location. The pool area was a nice little oasis which we really enjoyed! Loved our stay at this boutique hotel in Merimbula, would definitely return!
