Sapphire Coast accommodation from NZ$123

If it's location your after, and you have your caravan/RV/tent, it's fantastic. Seems to have everything a young family could possibly want and walking distance to an amazing beach, unfortunately that's where the positives end. Was moved out of original room into another one which was extremely dated. Queen bed was unbelievably soft and single bed, well let's just say iver slept on doubled over blankets that were softer. There was a very strange red splatter mark on the front of the bathroom cabinet and a fair few dead insects. After having an amazing experience at Discovery in Hahndorf, my wife and I were bitterly disappointed in our 2 nights here.

The man at the front desk was very rude - obviously having a very bad day. Said he had never heard of Hotels.com, never had an affliation with them (I explained they are owned by expedia). I hadn't at that stage booked my room, as when I decided to spend the night in Merimbula I was across the road from his hotel and a number of others. They had a sign to book direct and save, so I got the app up, looked up the hotel to see that it suited my needs, which it did. I often book within AUST and O/seas via Hotels.com and I travel extensively staying in 40+ hotels per year. He quoted extra $20 dearer if I booked direct. I found that strange, so I said that I was going to book via Hotels.com - as was cheaper. He said it wouldn't have been their hotel but the one next door - I showed him the app, the name of hotel and confirmed it was his Hotel. He said if I booked via Hotels.com, he would just cancel it! At this stage he swore, I asked him politely not to use that language in front of me (he then said he was swearing at himself!!). I said if he cancelled the reservation I would call Hotels.com. He said they would never advertise/permit the room to be discounted to the price the app offered. I said to him that is a matter between he/the owner of the Hotel and Expedia..not me.. I said I would be happy to talk to owner to explain. He then handed me the key I was able to stay the night - there is nothing at all wrong with the Hotel - just the man behind the desk's attitude.

Incredible stay! Very clean spacious and centrally located. Will stay here again!
