Our room was disappointing. The decor is very tired and was very dirty and worn. Merivale should be embarrassed to have it in their stable in its current state. It is in a great place and a renovation would make this a great place to stay, until this happens there are many better options in Narooma.

The only positive things were the location, clean towels and bedding, and view from the balcony. Notified reception of issues and still awaiting e mail response from Manager. We would not stay here again. For us, the motels website photos were misleading.

Great location. The property is tired - so it is great to hear that they will be embarking on a reno next year. Excellent service and fantastic onsite restaurant Queen Chow. Will try again after reno.

The location was amazing with views across the Narooma inlet. Walking distance to 2 great hotels and cafes.

We were pleasantly surprised by the furnishings and the linens of the room since the place looks like a regular motel on the outside. The only thing that needs immediate attention is a very noisy fan in the bathroom which is turned on by the light switch- so you have no option but to endure the noise. There was not breakfast available on the day we stayed, but it was not a problem, since there were options nearby. The view from our room on the ground floor was good, it must be great from the second floor. We would have liked to stay longer and would like to return.

It is great that the Whale allows dogs in some rooms, but that is about it. The room smelt terribly of overpowering disinfectant when we moved in. Nobody at reception, phone not answered, email not answered. Left both doors open for several hours and it became barely tolerable. Then we tried to watch TV, SBS only, aerial no good for any other stations. Hard to see how a motel that gives no way for a guest to contact them can stay in business.

A terrible experience.The website shows views of the ocean etc.We had views of the carpark. The hotel has not had a decent renovation since the 1970’s. The lack of maintenance and repair was evident as soon as you enter the front door. It is dark with not even a fan in the bedroom. We had an ‘executive spa suite’. I looked at leaving but all accommodation was taken. The worst accommodation I have stayed in 30 years

Positives- great view, good location, large rooms and friendly helpful staff. Negatives - no air con in bedroom, no daily clean of rooms which was stated however we stayed 7 nights and most places offer a clean every 3 days, hotel is tired looking.
