We booked a two night stay for our visit to the Narooma Oyster Festival. Our executive spa suite had great views from the large balcony out to the ocean and mountains. The bedroom and spacious living area were very clean and tidy and comfortable. Staff were very pleasant and willing to help. The restaurant is something else. They have their... More

Under no circumstances is this hotel 4 stars. Having stayed in many this would rate as 2 at best!!!! Cockroaches every where - to the point we did not want to use any if the glasses or dinner ware. Bathroom dirty and mouldy and the shower constantly hot to cold. Door to balcony did not lock and obviously had not... More

I had heard good things about this Motor Inn and believe it was previously one of the better places to stay in Narooma, however I was quite disappointed at the quality of the accommodation. I have stayed here on more than one occassion and found that the standard of the rooms was quite poor. There were bugs in my room,... More

We needed to find somewhere dog friendly and thus took two dogs with us. Also taking a blanket for the floor. Good space outside for dogs too, keeping them away from the kitchen garden, a major asset of the restaurant, it would seem. Room was spotless, no sign of any previous rampaging pets... call ahead to check about acceptability of... More

We stayed here for one night on our way to Bairnsdale, Victoria from Sydney. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We experienced their on site restaurant, the food was of high quality and fresh seafood. The presentation of the food was 5 star and the taste, just perfect. This restaurant would put some Sydney restaurants to shame. The view from... More

We expected a basic but nice motel. They impressed us at every turn! As soon as we arrived Jen helped us with our local arrangements for kayak rentals and a tour to nearby Montague island. When we wandered home late to find the restaurant closed, they put together a delicious local cheese platter and some homemade ice cream - Scrumptious!... More

So I booked this place based on the good reviews for the restaurant and in one word WOW! After a long day of work and travel I booked in with whom I assume was the owner. She was friendly and polite. As I travel a lot for work the quality of the room does not matter too much as long... More

We stayed here for one night on our way down the south coast. We booked the spa room and were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived! The room was huge and was more like a one bedroom apartment rather then a hotel room. Everything was clean and modern and the balcony views were fantastic. The morning of check out we... More
