    The breakfast was great, especially the croissants! The grounds were beautifully maintained and complimented the wonderful view. The decor was very attractive. I loved the attention to detail!

    Leaving ....

    Great motel! When I read "sea views" I was not expecting the absolutely jaw dropping views of Merimbula and the ocean. Very comfortable, great bed, furnished beautifully and loved the balcony. Everything was spotless. Would definitely recommend and will book again next time I'm in Merimbula.

    We were only there for a night so it was a quick stop.

    We loved having the leaf Mayde tea and good coffee and the good soap/shampoo that was not in small plastic bottles but in bulk. The room was spacious and clean. the view was spectacular. It was a surprise as we had no idea having only booked online the day before.

    Pool was cold but once used to it was pleasant

    The view is amazing throughout the whole day, sunrise was amazing sitting out on the deck chairs by the pool, night time and lounging around the camp fire whilst overlooking Merimbula was nice. Nice decor rooms, spotlessly clean and has a spa feel to it. Beautiful lounge area with refreshments available. Gardens and surrounding areas well kept, tennis court and equipment free to use! Staff all friendly and approachable, let us check in half hour early as our room was ready.

    I think the croissant was baked in oven where cheese was cooked earlier, giving the taste of it. The gate to enter the hotel is confusing with the other entrance.. maybe some flashing signs could help in the dark of the night.

    The room was very clean and good bed The view at the morning was astonish And the cascade was very wel maintain Breakfast simple but good with variety of bread.

    The location was great. About 1k out of town up a steep road which meant the views were fantastic from the balcony of the motel style rooms. The pool was beautiful although it was too chilly to swim. Great sun lounges looking to the surrounding gardens which were lush & stunning & very well looked after. The gardener was working each morning. The rooms were older style with a makeover & very spacious with a large tv on the wall. The lounge breakfast area was very modern. Furnished beautifully with full length glass sliding doors with bench seats looking over Merimbula down to the beach. Lounge chairs with a coffee table & other seating with tables made for a great spot for brekky & the hours where we sat & played Sequence! Brekky was outstanding. We were looked after by the lovely Tracy who was a wealth of knowledge about the area. She explained that they are very fussy, all produce is locally sourced, that the bread came from a bakery 40 minutes away (it was the best ever). The muesli & yoghurt was exceptional & even the jams were tried & tested for excellence! As in the rooms there was also a large range of teas to try. Well done to the young man who has transformed Hillcrest!

    So many things. The vue was amazing. The bad was super confortable, and the Tv was huge. Also love the design and decoration of the room. They have a lovely breakfast/bar area with view of the ocean. The staff was really nice and helpful. The car park is right in front of room. Only 2 min drive from the city.

    There wasn’t anything we didn’t like

    A wonderfully and respectfully restored property with beautiful sunrise views over Merimbula. The owner Casper, took the time to show us around and talk us through his restoration. We had the breakfast in the main hall which was great value and had THE BEST CROISSANTS ever, freshly baked and served warm. The little touches were not unnoticed. Boutique teas, coffee in the room, quality toiletries etc
