Excellent value for money. Great location in main part of Merimbula. Could see the water from the room we were upgraded to free. Clean, well equipped room. Would stay here again. (P.s meals at RSL Club were great)

Friendly staff and lovely room. Comfy beds. Good value for money. Just a short stroll to shops and restaurants and parking out the front of the room. We also ordered a cooked breakfast which was lovely. Great value for money
