Booked a last minute 3 night deal for the standard motel room at a bargain price. Although the room itself was quite old it has recently been refurbished so was clean and styled very tastefully to make for a very pleasant stay. On check in we were greeted with a friendly warm welcome and when I requested some extra linen... More

Merimbula is definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Australia, and this Motel was very comfortable, with an extremely helpful and attentive staff. We had forgotten our cell phone at the previous motel (Lake Entrance, the Heyfield Motel definitely worth visiting too!) and the gentleman at the reception called, verified that it was indeed in the hotel and had...

Admittedly we booked that day in peak season, not the point. When we got the key & went to walk up the stairs to the second floor the state of the stairs was disgusting. I opened our door & the smell that hit us was like walking into a smelly old pub. It was hot & my wife & I... More

Pleasant Stay at the Black Dolphin Motel. My partner and I booked the hotel with less that 24 hours notification along with another couple for New Year. The motel is in a great location just at the beginning of the "fishpen" area and right near the main bridge into town. A 10 minute walk across the bridge to the main... More

My wife and I stayed over for 2 nights as we were attending a wedding on the weekend. Room was very clean and tidy and comfortable. We had a lovely aspect looking out to Merimbula Lake from our small porch leadin onto the well cared for lawns. Enjoyable stay.

this motel is very much 70's USA, but ageing style has not diluted its good qualities of cleanliness, friendliness and excellent value for money. it is well located, close to the beach and to the inlet, and the towns main street is an easy 10 minute walk. During our stay the air conditioning did not work, but the patio door... More

I am not sure what some of the reviewers experienced, but we can only say that we had a very enjoyable extended stay at the Black Dolphin in Merimbula. We had deluxe rooms and they were amply furnished (although could do with new couches) and the bathroom was very adequate. We had our own covered porch area with outdoor furniture... More
