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.

A picturesque place to stay with outside balcony and wonderful views overlooking Merimbula. Hosts were very helpful and obliging. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing view and quiet

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.
