Merimbula Discount Bookings with Nelson Bay Accommodation.com

Been coming to Merimbula since I was very young. Was great to finally bring my young family! Absolutely love the food and beaches but mostly the people! Everyone is lovely and smiling. Great place to bring younger kiddos too for the safe beach/bay. Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed Mid February, just after the School Holidays ended, so the crowds would have been reduced. Still, there was a great "vibe" to the town, beaches, and surrounds. Merimbula was a great starting point to travel up & down the coast visiting other locales, such as Eden, Tathra, and the numerous beaches/parks/lakes along the Sapphire Coast.

Merimbula was suprisingly busy for a country town and traffic was at a standstill in the main downtown area at times. I don't know if this was normal for this time of the year (February). We did a number of day trips to surrounding areas such as Eden, Boydtown, Candelo and Tathra. We had hoped to visit Kameruka but it was closed to the public. Local seafood was good and the oysters, in particular, were delicious.

The room was very clean and comfy. Parking was smooth and easy, right in front of the room. I especially enjoyed the large bathroom and the back veranda. The aircon was also good. Wifi didn't work so well. Merimbula is a great place for staying and relaxing. The beach boardwalk is beautiful. Nice shopping, restaurants, and cafes. We had a lovely breakfast at MorMors Cafe. The "Top Fun" amusement centre was also a great experience.

A place/ region we'd like to see more of. Coming from Victoria, it was not as busy as what we thought. I enjoyed doing a lot of walks especially the boardwalk trail. Easy to find your way around town. The Oysters are really fresh. try their oyster factories. don't fall for the $8 per dozen advert though. apparently they are real small oysters. ((probably shouldn't even be harvested). the $20/dozen are a good size. Try the Wheelers ( Pambula) restaurant. decent food.

As we couldn’t control the weather, it was raining for the duration of our stay but there was a day or two with the sun peeping and overcast weather. Merimbula was a great place to get away from the busy Sydney life. We found Merimbula a place to relax, slow down and meet friendly locals. We tried a variety of great places to eat during our stay such as The Cranky Cafe across the bridge, the Wheelers Restaurant in Pambula, Dulcie’s Cottage was great for their burgers and drinks, Bar Beach Cafe with views and it’s family friendly and quiet beach, Santa Fe for Mexican but we disliked how loud it was within the space provided, and the Waterfront Cafe with views overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the little nooks of local shops at The Plaza, or alleyways with hidden stores, it’s conveniently an easy walk around. Most parking is up to 2 hours whereas, there’s 3 hours just behind the Merimbula RSL. We would definitely loved to come back when the weather clears up and stay a longer!
