Our room was disappointing. The decor is very tired and was very dirty and worn. Merivale should be embarrassed to have it in their stable in its current state. It is in a great place and a renovation would make this a great place to stay, until this happens there are many better options in Narooma.

The only positive things were the location, clean towels and bedding, and view from the balcony. Notified reception of issues and still awaiting e mail response from Manager. We would not stay here again. For us, the motels website photos were misleading.

The hot water took an extremely long time to become hot. There was a mechanical sound & vibration that seemed to resonate between the rooms. View was great. The bed had to be moved to use the power points, there was dust & debris behind the bed & side tables.
