Top Merimbula Aquarium Hotel Reviews

The Black Dolphin Motel

10/10 Excellent

"One night away with myself and daughter for a beach trip. We did not liaise with any staff so could not really rate that appropriately. The room was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean, great location, easy parking and seamless check-in. The business spans over two large properties. We were opposite the holiday park. There was a pool available on our side, and a small water park area with slides and sprinklers available in the holiday park side. I am unsure if you are able to utilise this if you're not staying on the holiday park side. Worth checking if you are travelling with kids. The property itself was really well maintained. Gardens, walkways, amenities. We come to Merimbula from Canberra often, and have tried out quite a few of the hotels. Some hits, a few big misses, but this one was a hit. Will definitely stay again. As my daughter put it "This is our new spot we can come to every time!""

Pelican Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best hotel in its category that I’ve stayed at so far—out of 10 others I’ve visited in Australia. Everything—absolutely everything—is clean and well-thought-out; there’s space for our luggage, and plenty of room in the bathroom for our personal items. The pool is spotlessly clean. Wow."

NRMA Merimbula Beach Holiday Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

The Black Dolphin Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The property and facilities were great, the only downside was that there was no hand soap provided withing the villa/cabin. Nothing at basins and the fixed bodywash dispenser in shower was empty."

Beach Cabins Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"The cabins are have nice ocean views"

Summerhill Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We weren't really sure what to expect when we booked Summerhill Motor Inn, given it was one the older looking venues in Merimbula. I can definitely say we were more than happy with our booking. The Inn was spotless!! Our room was immaculately clean, the bed was great and the pillows just fantastic. So much so we asked the owner where can we buy them!! Absolute value for money!!"

Coast Resort Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, helpful and welcoming. Position with lake view and short walk to main beach and into town could not be better."

Seashells Apartments Merimbula

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable"

Sails Luxury Apartments Merimbula

8/10 Good

"Stayed 1 night. Never met anyone in person. I spoke with someone on a phone. It was well equipped. The hotel is for sale. Not really walkable to shops and restaurants. I don’t recommend The Wharf restaurant."
