Plussat: Beautiful town located on a river system. The accomodation was clean & it had a nice garden. The bathroom was well appointed.

Plussat: The lorikeet birds that came to feed, an extra bonud

Plussat: Overall location was excellent

Miinukset: We never met the owners. As they were never present in reception. Also, they were not at all approachable. We have been calling them whole night but they never picked the call. And at last they text 30 min before we were leaving property.

Plussat: Excellent location and woodland setting

Plussat: Perfect location in the national park - kangaroos, birds, possums and all possible wildlife at your door, great quiet beach 1km away

Miinukset: be careful - some kangaroos might become aggressive asking for food

Plussat: Location location location. Close to the beach and town. No traffic no passing tourists no noise. The managers are awesome and friendly. Facilities are great. Greeted by Kangaroos and birds and friendly management. Love this place.

Plussat: The wildlife at your door, the casual atmosphere, the friendly staff. This place is great for those that rate the natural experiences over the fancy.

Plussat: We stayed our first night on a Great Ocean Road trip. One of our party was an international guest so it was good for her to be able to feed the kangaroos.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Stunning views of the lake and beach, not to mention staff at the motel are friendly. Get to see kangaroos in the backyard from motel room with beautiful Merimbula lake the background

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great place to stay and I always sleep well here.

Miinukset: A small microwave in the room would make it perfect.

Plussat: Very friendly, lovely and accommodating people. Would love to stay again

Plussat: The cabin was very spacious, and the deck was perfect. We brought cousins from England and I chose Discovery Parks because of the picture I saw in a magazine or book showing kangaroos. Boy, were we thrilled to see so many, and up close, so it made our stay. The accommodation and the rest of the park were of excellent quality as well. Had a great time.

Miinukset: Couldn't find a thing

Plussat: It was great for kids

Plussat: Lovely family friendly park right on the beach with great facilities. Kids would love this park. Friendly kangaroos with joeys, but don’t feed them. Quiet at night.

Miinukset: Our cabin could sleep four but there is no way four could have been comfortable. Cramped around table and nowhere for luggage. Very small and cramped bathroom and shower. This cabin did not have air conditioning and would be unbearable in the summer.

Plussat: Peace and quiet. Location. Plenty of activities for our children.

Miinukset: Outside light in drive way wasn’t working.

Plussat: Great activities for kids, lots of choices. Clean, comfortable.

Miinukset: Tidy, well maintained, pretty.

Plussat: Great having the kangaroos roaming round the site, cabin was small but functional.

Plussat: Very clean and neat, with comfortable beds and everything needed for a night’s stay. Friendly welcome at checkin.

Miinukset: A bit of traffic noise from nearby main road but not extreme.

Plussat: Handle on fridge. Location.easy to find. Bed comfortable. Employees friendly. Shampoo and conditioner provided smelt nice and was easy on skin.

Miinukset: The fridge was a size too small. We couldn't fit all our cold stuff in it. Noise travelled through the walls.

Plussat: Good location, walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

Plussat: We liked the friendly staff and the view sitting out on the balcony.

Miinukset: It was an older motel located on a slope.

Plussat: Everything. Even a beautiful pool area

Miinukset: Fantastic value for money. Great comfy bed, great little kitchen, nice bathroom space. Very helpful and friendly staff. Wouldn't stay anywhere else this good for the money.

Plussat: Pleasant welcome. Unit suites our needs exactly.

Miinukset: All aspects of our stay was very satisfying. Can’t fault anything.

Plussat: The host was very helpful at the time of check in and also at check out. Very nice and comfortable room was provided.

Miinukset: nothing

Miinukset: Just wondering if a swimming pool is in the process of being installed - it was the only thing I could think of that might be missing (or maybe I just didn't see it)?

Plussat: Convenient, comfortable motel with friendly staff. Nice room, small but well equipped. It was only a very short stay but had everything we needed.

Miinukset: Swimming pool was under renovation when we were there so the view from our room was a building site! Lot of stuff in Merimbula seemed to have closed down - but that's hardly the accommodation's fault.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff, great location. Very clean and large rooms with a balcony. Expect a visit from the local birdlife, very cute. Even has a mini bar. Very impressed, excellent value.

Plussat: The bathrooms were renovated and clean.

Miinukset: I and my partner enjoy having a coffee on the balcony, therefore we booked a room with a balcony. Unfortunately at the moment the pool (that was as well advertised as a bonus facility) was under construction. The view was unpleasant and we could not use the balcony., as well as the pool was not used. The property did not inform about this and the price of the room did not reflect on current construction at the accommodation. I would have rather taken a different option than and paid less.

Miinukset: It looked like the fridge bottom compartment had been repaired with glue and duct tape but it came off very easily.

Plussat: Siisti ja rauhallinen motelli. Kävelymatkan päässä pääkadulta.

Plussat: Location perfect, walking distance to centre of town. Beds comfy. Staff excellent

Plussat: Cleanliness. Proximity to town and beach. Have stayed there for work previously - now retired and looking to come up from Melb regularly for short stays.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The location was perfect! Just a few minutes out of town. On top of the hill with beautiful views. Perfect place to stay! The owners as just lovely they went out of the way to make us comfortable. Would stay there again anytime. Thanks again :)

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The view was gorgeous

Miinukset: The birds

Plussat: Beautiful view , clean tidy room, friendly and courteous staff, quiet location

Miinukset: There's nothing that I didn't like

Plussat: The view was amazing, room was old but clean, staff were super helpful as we checked in late. Would definitely stay again next time.

Miinukset: Heater/air con unit was noisey but effective.

Plussat: Very friendly owner couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome.

Miinukset: Just a little to far from the town center.

Plussat: plenty room and space

Miinukset: It need to walk a while, if you go to town center

Plussat: Very clean apartment. Had everything we needed. Comfortable king size bed. Hosts Greg and Linda were excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: nice spacious apartment, quiet location, nice views.

Miinukset: poor internet connection and the heated pool wasn't useble. The wind seemed to be very noisy through our apartment.

Plussat: the Apollo apartments are well managed by a very keen couple who aim to make everything perfect.the place is spotless despite the westerly winds blowing dust most days during the strong wind season.internet was great ,a friendly and nice place to stay,very quiet

Plussat: The apartment was very clean and had everthing that was required. It is located in a great spot.

Miinukset: the main bed and the pillows are needing to be replaced.

Plussat: Location and general amenities were excellent. Greg was very friendly and informative. Our suite in the main building was a good size and toiletries an added bonus. Thank you for fresh milk in the fridge. Lovely breakfast location.

Miinukset: Would prefer more fresh fruit along with the canned fruit and a more healthy muesli. Otherwise perfectly adequate.

Plussat: The friendly staff member who checked us in after our check in time and made us a wonderful breakfast the next day was a highlight! Gorgeous property that well exceeded my expectations!

Plussat: The location was awesome

Miinukset: Well maintained

Plussat: For the price and travelling on the go a hot breakfast would have been nice.

Miinukset: only the breakfast issue

Plussat: Very quiet, ideal starting point for walk along the boardwalk next to the lake with its oyster farms. Wallabies and kangaroos to be seen at dusk and early morning. The breakfast and reception area was very tastefully furnished.

Miinukset: A little difficult to access from the main highway.

Plussat: Room was not very clran

Miinukset: The spa wasn’t working yet

Plussat: The central location walking distance to all pubs and hotels, cafes and the water. Large fridge and microwave in the unit, easy check in and out. We had a view over most of town from our balcony.

Plussat: Location was convenient for walking to shops and clubs-no need to move our car

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent is only a maximum five minute walk to everything in town.

Plussat: The breakfast was good, sufficient to eat prior to driving back home. Location was excellent...so close to many things. The lady at reception was extremely helpful, and was very pleasant to talk to.

Plussat: Clean and lovely. Great location. Very quiet

Plussat: The rooms were large, room/kitchen was well set up and the premises were quiet and positive. The bathroom was clean and the shower very good. The overall set up was positive. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The single bed and couch seating in our room were very soft and lacking support (the double bed was fine). In terms of location, we thought the motel would be a bit closer to Merimbula. It was actually between Merimbula and Pambula (opposite the golf course). This misunderstanding was on us as we relied on the address without doing a double check of locations. If you prefer a little distance from the main area, it would work out well for you.

Plussat: Right opposite the golf course

Miinukset: Not completely soundproofed

Plussat: Good location, lovely staff and the room was clean and had a relaxing spa bath

Miinukset: The bed was quite hard which makes it uncomfortable especially for someone with a bad back, the tv was not anywhere near the bed meaning you had to sit on a lounge if you wanted to watch it, it also didnt have features to be able to watch any movie streaming services meaning it was either normal tv or nothing. And though it was a nice thought to make up the room we did not put the sign on the door for our room to be made up so coming back to find someone had entered our room made us a little uncomfortable

Plussat: We had the Superior King Room (recommended), room was large and clean with kitchenette and a good sized fridge. Staff extremely friendly and helpful during our 3 day stay. The place is out of the crazy chaos, very quiet and secure. Lots of birds and trees, secluded and peaceful.

Plussat: Size of room was great. No noise.

Miinukset: Main room was cold - took a while for heater to take effect. Interconnecting door was not lockable. Shower floor was very slippery.

Plussat: Great location. Very central. Excellent value for money

Plussat: Great location

Plussat: We booked online the same day of our stay, and advised we would be arriving late. The staff accommodated us and made sure that we had access to the room even though their front desk would be closed when we arrived. They recommended things to do in the area as well as advice for our trip going on to Melbourne. The rooms were clean and tidy, and they had left lights and a heater on for our arrival. The bedrooms were clean and tidy, and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and bright.

Miinukset: There was no way to turn on the exhaust fan in the bathroom and we had to open the window to prevent steam.

Plussat: Nice neat unit, with clean bathroom and kitchen. Location was terrific as it was close to clubs, supermarkets and the beach.

Miinukset: We were woken 4 mornings of the 7 we stayed at around 6 am as they were renovating some of the other units in the complex. Our host could have warned us prior. It was pretty annoying.

Plussat: Close to Club Sapphire and Woolworths. Room had fully equipped kitchen, easy to cook breakfast. Off street parking, pool and laundry. Good spot for a cheap overnight stay.

Miinukset: Extremely dated, in need of overhaul throughout.

Plussat: Able to cook your own meals, close to town, reasonable price

Miinukset: The kitchen in the unit I was in was a bit small but only I little concern

Plussat: Your locality close to everything.

Miinukset: Very noisy early morning.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Fleas and the cockroaches in the room. People throwing up right outside window at night.

Plussat: Easy to find restuarants shops and clubs all of which were in walking distance. Friendly people.

Miinukset: Rooms clean and comfortable. Close to amenities only short walk to everything.

Plussat: All round excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: I stay here often and I am never disappointing, staff are amazingly welcoming

Plussat: Location great Retro room was excellent!

Miinukset: More Foxtel stations

Plussat: Close to the town and clubs in town. Walking distance ok slightly hilly with walking disability but manageable.

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: This is a well located hostel. However, the description when we booked it made it seem like a hotel which it is decidedly not. The place was very clean and had a well equipped communal kitchen. It was a block and a half from a very nice beach.

Miinukset: Again, the description made us think we were booking at a hotel, not a hostel. We were greeted by a somewhat curt receptionist and handed sheets to make our own bed. We were informed that we needed to strip our own beds on departure and that checkout time was 9:30 which is ridiculous even for Australia. Our room, which was en suite, had no towels, not even a bathmat, and we were told that we could hire them for $2 a day. We were also told that we were not allowed to have any food or beverage in our room at all - no morning coffee, no afternoon glass of wine, nothing - because they had just cleaned the carpet. The room description made it sound like there was a tv in the room. There is indeed a flat screen tv but it was in the common area and was very small. We were comfortable even though there was no heat or air conditioning with the window open but then it was exceptionally noisy with sound carrying from the common areas right into our window. If we were looking for a well located, over priced hostel, we would have been satisfied, but we were looking for the hotel that the website described and this just wasn't it.

Plussat: great location, value for money, friendly owners, clean and comfortable rooms and facilities, onsite parking.

Plussat: Nice clean and quiet hostel.

Miinukset: Not much to do so only good for the stay over.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, and relaxed. Very close to the beach. Owners were also very friendly

Plussat: Very nice owners and a comfy, clean room and facilities

Plussat: Nice and impressively cleaned property. Comfortable and good host.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: 2 min walk to beach. Very clean. Friendly staff. Couldnt fault the place. Definitely will be retyrning. Thank you

Plussat: One of the best hostels I have had the pleasure of staying in.. the building is boxy and plain, but everything is well built and designed. I like it.
