Ocean View Motor Inn Merimbula

What guests think

At Ocean View Motor Inn Merimbula, guests consistently praise clean rooms, comfortable beds, and strong showers, while noting dated decor, mixed experiences with noise, and that sea views depend on room position, especially for ground-floor units.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, but several reviews highlight self check-in and the lack of an on-site reception, with occasional communication hiccups. Parking is on a steep hill and spaces are not always allocated to individual rooms. Overall, expect a no-frills motel stay with simple comforts.

View was nice, located on a hill. Couldn’t see the ocean from the ground floor. Parked in front of our unit. Merimbula is a beautiful spot, with lots of walks and beaches. Staff were happy to help.

Brilliant stay at this hotel. Bed was clean and comfortable. The shower was incredible with the water pressure! Basic amenities but comfortable. Lovely views of the sea from the room. Would definitely stay here again.

There were no power points near the bed. That is a problem for someone who uses a sleep apnoea machine. Also the power point where the tv was plugged made some fizzing noises. Didn’t sound safe

All except service was fine. Empty coke bottle and tea bags left in the room. Toilet paper not replaced, used cups left dirty and in one opportunity I made the bed to my liking and it was remade to a very strange way while eaten breakfast biscuits were not replaced

Basic motel, clean great bed. Next unit guests smoking and talking until 1 am so we could not open the window. Taps in bathroom sink were closed so tight we could not open, they were fixed next day, but licked a bit. This motel is at the top of a steep hill so for us ok but not for all to walk to from town. Merimbula lacks food options all close very early and seem they do not want visitors. I was not comfortable er seemed to be an inconvenience for locas, I will avoid stoping there again.

Motel zonder receptie. We zouden van tevoren een deurcode en kamernummer per SMS ontvangen. Niet dus. Nummer gebeld dat op de deur stond en eindelijk code en kamernummer ontvangen. Kamer was netjes, maar gedateerd. Was prijs die we betaalden niet waard.

Convenient location with all amenities and restaurants are walkable. Rooms are decent. Has bad experience with the last at the concierge who asked for our Credit Card details and was arguing inspite of the entire trio was paid upfront via Expedia. She was also very curious to know who all will be staying and can I show those individuals to them etc. I'm surely going to avoid booking this property in future.
