Comfy space for us & our dog.
Pros:

This place is spacious, very well equipped, great for our large (placid, quiet) dog. It's not modern or 'flash', but suited us very well. We would stay again.

Cons:

The bathroom/toilet location being in what was an entrance hall to the entry was a bit awkward. The wobbly toilet sliding door was also not great. But generally, all good.

A great place to stay overnight when breaking up a long drive. It can also be a great place to stay for a few days. Very
Pros:

The place may be small but it was clean. It has everything we need. The beds and pillows are comfortable. Love the enclosed area so my dog is safe. We love the decking at the back with the table. Small kitchen appliances are new and very clean which means they are well maintained by the owner. Well done guys!

Cons:

Nothing🙂

Truly Dog Friendly Accommodation 10mins from Merimbula.
Pros:

This is truly dog friendly accomodation. It was great to have a HUGE properly fenced yard for our dog to run around in. The unit had everything we needed, including kitchen items and great toiletries. We loved sitting out on the front porch and looking out over the lake. It was also great to be able to leave our dog at the unit while we went out, knowing he had a courtyard and a shady spot to relax in.

Cons:

This property is just outside Merimbula, so you have to drive into town or to Pambula. Public transport is virtually nonexistant and there were no taxis. There are some permanent residents whose dogs were pretty noisy, barking at our dog (who was not barking back at them).

Lovely unit with great views of lake not far from town
Pros:

Lovely little unit with gorgeous views of the lake, comfortable beds and a good size living area and private outside area. Sharon was also really helpful with finding us power to charge our car.

Cons:

Very little, it was only a little odd to come in through the bathroom but there is another door.
