Fantastic getaway with gorgeous views

A fantastic property within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and the main shopping area. The open plan living area offered great views, a modern touch, and had everything we needed for our getaway. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the cool breeze and views. The bedrooms were well proportioned and the property was noticeably clean. A great pet friendly property. Wish we could have stayed longer and definitely keen to return.

Great Water Views in a Spacious Apartment

While the weather did not cooperate with us during our stay in Merimbula, the Penguin Mews provided a comfortable place to relax with a fantastic view over the bay. The living/dining area on the upper floor was spacious and light, with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay.

Love Merimbula

This was a lovely place but a little run down and need of some tender loving care. The dishwasher was broken on our arrival. Unfortunately not able to be used for duration of our stay. Wasn’t clear it was 2 storey, with living area on top level. This caused issues with access.
