We met the owner who was very friendly and enthusiastic. He has taken on a massive project in renovating this older property, which has spectacular views over the town of Merimbula. There are still a myriad of details to attend to, and we appreciate that a lot of investment is involved. Our room had no aircon or secure ventilation, but fortunately it was a cool night. Near-new bathroom was very attractive however had some mould present in the grout, so attention to cleaning detail is required.
