The Black Dolphin Motel

The Black Dolphin Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The suite was a large room, apartment style, with a full kitchen and terrace. Very clean, comfortable and modern, with great amenities and everything you need. Located on the Princes Highway, close to town, but the rooms are placed at a good distance from the road, so very private and quiet. Would recommend it for a couple of nights in Merimbula."

10/10 Excellent
"Nice place with nice decor and good heater that heated the place quickly. Has a sink, dishes, cutlery, glasses including for wine but they ask you to wash your own dishes. Croissants, honey, tea and coffee for breakfast. Great bed except the middle where two mattresses join to make a king bed. Nice shower."

"What an amazing place to stay, enjoyed every second. The place is just beautiful and the cabin was so unique. The view from the cabin was just beautiful. Could see whales jumping near the bay from our cabin. Check in was so easy and they provided local knowledge on where to go fishing and good local restaurants. Loved this place and will 100% be back. Recommend it!"
