The room was dirty and poorly maintained. The tap for the toilet cistern, was running non stop. We had to turn off the water to the toilet to get any peace. The bedside power points did not work, therefore we were unable to use our Cpap machines. Which are vital for our health & well being. Needless our stay was a nightmare.

Merimbula stay

It was a bed and a shower while staying in the area. Rooms are in need of a decent renovation, furniture needs updating, the freezer in our room hadn't been defrosted for quite some time and the people before us had left a message on the mirror suggesting it be cleaned properly.
