Kingfisher Motel

Budget motel a little out of town with a nice view. You need to drive to town for meals and supplies and visiting attractions such as beaches. Friendly host. Well-equipped for meals. Lovely sunny balcony. Lots of birds!! mostly white cockatoos roost in nearby tall trees.

Last minute booking. Came for a few nights and stayed a week!! Situated on the hill into Merimbula the Kingfisher Motel has the most incredible view’s overlooking the town, ocean and tree line that offer abundance in beautiful birdlife Retro style accommodation with kitchenette, microwave and all you need, very clean and spacious…. Did I mention the balcony and that view! Great hosts! Janine and Baron were amazing! So welcoming they really made us feel at home. With information on what to do, where to go, maps to boot. We were even given a complimentary bottle of champagne 🍾 New year’s eve with some muffins. Janine even gave us lemons from the tree and some home grown eggs, seriously beautiful real people who clearly love what they do We will definitely stay again

If I could give more stars, I would. We were on a road trip from Melbourne to Sydney. That day, we were driving from Lakes Entrance to Broulee, where we would spend the night. But a little outside Merimbula, our car broke down. So we were standing in the middle of nowhere, with 2 kids, with the sun going down. We called for roadside assistance. Sam was very helpful. But the real angel was Derryl, the towtruck guy. A 60-something guy went out of his way to help us with our luggage and helped us get a room to stay for the night. He brought us to Kingfisher Motel, where the owners were super kind. They gave us a room, charged us less for it because we were in trouble, heated up the barbecue for us to eat, offered to buy us pizza if we didn't have anything to eat, took us to the car repair shop the next day to get our car. They were so nice, and I was overwhelmed with their warmth and positivity. I would give Kingfisher Motel and Merimbula town a double thumbs up.
