For the first time we stayed in the ones on stilts quite high up overlooking river. When we got up and went on patio a kookaburra sat on rail about a foot away not even scared then another came and ended up with 4 it was amazing something never seen before. My friend actually finishing up feeding them by hand.

My 5 year old daughter and I stayed in a studio cabin. It was really well set up so that we could easily do our own meals if we wanted to. The splash park, pump track, flying fox, pool and jumping pillow were all a huge hit. We loved our stay so much that we have rebooked to come back again. One slight inconvenience was that phone reception was very patchy and no WiFi available except at reception.

Had a great two night stay at Merool in a inland cabin. My wife and the children loved it, the kids especially enjoyed the games room and the kids activities that the staff put on. Will be back for another stay, will probably stay in one of their themed cabins next visit. Thanks Merool on the Murray.

Stayed 5 nights in an upstairs room. Great view, friendly staff, clean and comfortable and located within walking distance of bakeries and dining. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would definitely recommend.

Newly refurbished room that was very comfortable. Friendly owners who called to check when I was arriving & had the heater on when I got in. Small things like that make a motel stand out.

The hotel was great, the staff were very friendly, room was large and was very well presented, beds were very comfortable, and the aircon went straight on and worked well. We have a baby so the blockout curtains were excellent, minimal noise from neighbouring rooms, and staff were very understanding when our baby was asleep at the checkout time!

It was a chilled out place where the kids could move around and play in a safe environment.
RSL an 8 minute walk away with great meals and again very kids friendly.
Highly recommend.

The best area to stay in Barmah is within the town itself, particularly near the Barmah Hotel and the main street, as this provides the most convenient access to local amenities and the Barmah National Park.
The town of Barmah is quite compact, with its few shops and the Barmah Hotel forming a central point. Staying here means you're just a short walk or drive from the main entrance to Barmah National Park, known for its extensive red gum forests and the Murray River. It's an ideal base for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the area.
For couples seeking a tranquil escape, staying in or just outside the main township offers a peaceful retreat. You'll be well-placed for bushwalking, birdwatching, or taking a river cruise on the Murray, all while being close enough to local eateries for an evening meal.
Families will find the convenience of staying in Barmah town appealing. With easy access to the National Park, you can plan days filled with outdoor activities like fishing, canoeing, or exploring the walking trails.
When is the best time to go to Barmah?
The best times to visit Barmah, Victoria, Australia are during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months.
During spring, the weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This is an excellent time for wildlife spotting, as many native birds are active and the Barmah National Park is lush and green after winter rains. The flowering of native plants adds to the scenery, making it ideal for nature walks and photography.
Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 18°C and 28°C, with less chance of rain than in spring. The Barmah Lakes and the Murray River are particularly inviting during this season for activities like kayaking, fishing, and boat tours. The vibrant colours of the changing foliage along the riverbanks provide a beautiful backdrop for a relaxing break.
