Fabulously refurbished motels on the hill above Merimbula. The suite is very spacious and there are some beautiful touches such as the mid century armchairs and sideboard. The outdoor deck is really lovely and gives a fantastic view. The sans toiletries are also very nice. There are a few downsides - I felt slightly pestered by the motel - with around 7 points of contact before we even arrived! Emails, texts and phone calls and then more texts and emails after we arrived! Too much! Also, messages felt very much A.I constructed which was also off putting. Also, the bathroom -while in keeping with the 69s vibe - does need a wee bit of fixing. Paintwork and cracks let the space down. Also, no toaster! This would be a great addition to the motel! Overall, really enjoyed it but with a bit more attention to detail it could be superb.

Forced to cancel due to a scheduling error made by a tour operator promoted on their own website. The owner refused any refund or credit despite the circumstances being entirely outside our control. Poor form.

We had the most wonderful stay at Hillcrest Merimbula — it’s the kind of place you almost want to keep a secret. The recently renovated retro style is absolutely stunning, blending nostalgic charm with modern comfort in such a thoughtful way. Every detail feels considered, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet special. The views are simply breathtaking — waking up to that outlook each morning was a highlight in itself. What truly sets Hillcrest apart, though, is the hospitality. Caspar, the owner, could not have been more welcoming. From the moment we arrived, he went out of his way to make sure we felt at home, offering genuine warmth and helpful recommendations that made our stay even more enjoyable. And the breakfast? Absolutely delicious. Fresh, generous, and the perfect way to start the day while soaking in those incredible views. If you’re heading to Merimbula, do yourself a favour and stay here — we can’t wait to come back.
