Well, is difficult to describe this motel...the room was like a cemetery of old furniture...a kind of smelly. I will not recommend to anyone. Al least the feeling of a clean place is the most important thing you want to find in a place you are going to sleep...not in this occasion.

Awesome place to stay. Rooms spacious and clean. Staff super friendly and helpful. The whale watching package was excellent value for money, and the whales were amazing ! Will be staying there again soon.

We stayed in December 2012 for 3 nights & found the motel to be a great place to stay. The reception staff were very helpful with telling us places to see as well as directing us to places to go to eat. The room was very pleasant & the bed comfy. The only thing I can think off that we... More

I stay at Sapphire Waters Motor Inn regularly whilst on business and have done so for over 20 years so that in itself speaks volumes for the service, hospitality and friendliness of staff, and I do a lot of travelling throughout NSW and stay in many many motels. The rooms are quite spacious and attractive. The location is great, being... More

The room was large and despite being close to the highway was very quiet. I think the road facing windows were double glazed. The owners were very helpul and recommended... More

Stayed here recently over Easter. Rooms are spacious and we had a lovely balcony with water views. Some parts need an update - carpet and bathrooms in particular. Quiet motel in an ideal location in Merimbula.

One of the cleanest, best presented motels we have stayed in. Steve and Peta were the welcoming and very helpful owners. Rooms were all spotless, very well maintained and comfortable. Layout of rooms our group had was great with double bed with bathroom and then a corridor with small kitchenette leading to lounge area with a single bed and balcony.... More

I booked one night at this hotel using their website. I posed a question about how to find the hotel from the bus stop and received no answer. Upon arriving, the reception was closed and all the details were left in the letterbox. That was not a problem but being told the reception was not going to be open when... More

Thank you for your review Tracy. We are sorry we missed your initial question about directions to our motel. That was an oversight on our behalf. We did speak to your friend who was picking you up from the bus stop and explained that reception would be closed and made arrangements for the key to be left out. In regards... More

staff were just amazing & so very helpful, after a bad experience at the comfort inn, this motel was so restful & really lovely. Thank you. If required breakfast is freshly made every morning & delivered to your room, eat at the dining table or out on the balcony, very relaxing indeed.
