“Very suprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Best Western Fairway Motor Inn over the Easter break. As a special through their own website we stayed for 3 nights for $300 ($50 for the first 2 nights, then $100 for the 3rd night). I thought this was a pretty good deal. Having said that, my expectation of the rooms were low. I was very suprised on first inspection of the room.
It was very roomy, clean and comfortable. It had a bath sized spa which was an added bonus as we were not aware of this!
The kitchenette was large in size, but dissapointed that there was no cooking facility, although there was a microwave.
The location of the hotel is undesirable: make sure you have your own transport! It is basically in between Merimbula and Pambula, and my guess is it would be a long walk to either township.
Overall my stay was well enjoyed and would more then likely stay again.

“Average motel type accomdation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2010

person found this review helpful

Stayed one night at this motel en route to Sydney - after having stayed in lovely hotels during the few previous nights this stay was abit disappointing. The motel is between two small towns and there is a golf course opposite (where at dusk lots and lots of wallablies congregate which is a nice sight). We went to Merimbula for something to eat at night ( and cause it was in August and thus out of season most places closed early ie often between 5pm and 6pm) and also eat in this town for breakfast. There isnt alot to do in Merimbula but the surrounding area along the coastline is nice.
The room in the hotel was very spacious with a kitchen area, two double beds, a large shower room. There is good parking facilities and a small swimming pool. The room was outdated and did smell slighty damp.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your stay with us. I am sorry to read that you felt our rooms were outdated. We are about to undertake extensive re-furbishment of the Motel and hope to see it completed by October 2011. We look forward to welcoming you back to our new rooms next time you come to Merimbula.

“over raqted over priceds”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2008

This Motel is definitely not a four star. The room was spacious but old. Furnishing were old, room was plain, and we were asked to wash up before leaving!!!! This property is overpriced for the area. Friends paid a lot less for similar accommodation in the town.

“Lovely staff, nice place to stopover on the way to Melbourne!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2008

We drove down from Sydney to Melbourne and stopped over in Merimbula for one night. I would recommend this hotel if you are planning on doing the same journey as we did. Merimbula is a nice little town. The hotel room was big and clean, a family stayed next door to us and were quite noisy but in general, the hotel was nice. It is a little bit out of town, but if you have a car it's fine. The staff were really nice and friendly, we would go back if we ever found ourselves in this area again. We paid 140 Aussie dollars for the room. The lady who runs the place recommended a lovely cafe in town where we had breakfast the morning of our departure. We did see the Oyster place next door but we didn't go there as we arrived late and just wanted to sleep!

“A long way from Merimbula”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2007

This is a nice and roomy, if basic, motel type accommodation. There is no restaurant, but there are apparently some nearby. We walked into Pambula (20 mins) to eat instead.

However, this hotel really should not advertise itself as being in Merimbula. It is a long way out of town (we estimated at least 3-4ks).

  • Liked — roomy and clean
  • Disliked — too remote
