Sensational view: treat yourself to the sunrise from your balcony! The room was comfortable and tastefully renovated, though I would have liked a microwave oven and more space in the bathroom for makeup etc. Poor signage and lighting makes the driveway entrance hard to see when arriving at night. The motel is outside the town centre and there is no safe walkway or nearby restaurants etc. However, the staff is very helpful and keen to make you feel welcome. We enjoyed our stay.

This is an amazing property, decorated in keeping with its era, which is a testament to the management and owners for its design and maintenance. The room was divine, with high quality linen, comfort of the bed and chaise, and the view is unsurpassed. I would highly recommend this motel as the best place to stay in Merimbula. Thankyou Hillcrest.

Really lovely staff, wish my room was warm & dark!

Good points:
- Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.
- The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean.
- Shower was hot with good pressure.

Bad points:
- Curtains did little to block out the 24/7 outdoor lighting directly outside the room window. It was like trying to sleep with a night light on in the room.
- No climate control. The heater was turned off and the control panel locked under a cover so I was unable to turn it on.
- One of the windows was jammed open so it was cold especially given the above point.

Renovated retro motel which greets you with amazing views across Merimbula as you walk through your front door and through to your balcony. The most amazing comfortable bed I've ever slept in, loved that cloud topper! Room decor was stunning. Lovely reception staff. You will need to drive into Merimbula for dining and food. A great stay.

Its an old style hotel that has been renovated but still has some 70s features. The room was a great size and nicely furnished. Very comfortable bed with quality linen and towels. Shower soap, hair shampoo/conditioner provided, really nice products. We are travelling up the coast for a few weeks and stayed 4 nights, so we neede the laundry facilities. For the amount of rooms, I feel there could've been another washer & dryer or clothes horse to use and at no cost.
A bench for luggage, hooks in the bathroom (only one small towel rail), the shower leaked a lot. The basin was tiny for two people.
Overall we really enjoyed the room and views were amazing.
These few things would have made our stay just that bit more convenient.

This properties main attraction is it's amazing views over Merimbula. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely stay and would be happy to return someday.

Beautiful accommodation, situated high atop a hillside with amazing views of the town below!!
The room was lovely and the comfortable bed provided a great night sleep. Parking was in a covered, lower level parking area, making it easy to access our room.

There is an animal sanctuary not far from the motel which we loved. There were a variety of local animals to see. The kangaroo and emu are free to roam the park and you can buy a feed bag to hand feed them while visiting the park.
We would highly recommend this stay!

Only fault is the lack of pressure in the shower

Worst stay ever

Arrived on a 30 degree plus day, no air con, screen door broken and couldn't be locked so door had to be closed. Went to have a glass of wine and the glasses in the cupboard were filthy. Spoke to the receptionist who exchanged the glasses but could not help with air con. Next day found a fan in the wardrobe. Speaking of wardrobe the clothes put in could not be worn due to the mustiness therein.

We met the owner who was very friendly and enthusiastic. He has taken on a massive project in renovating this older property, which has spectacular views over the town of Merimbula. There are still a myriad of details to attend to, and we appreciate that a lot of investment is involved.

Our room had no aircon or secure ventilation, but fortunately it was a cool night.

Near-new bathroom was very attractive however had some mould present in the grout, so attention to cleaning detail is required.

We stayed at the Hillcrest Hotel for a long-weekend and had such a lovely time. The room was great - with one of the best views I've ever seen. The grounds were amazing - such a picturesque spot to sit after a bit of tennis, a swim in the pool or a sit by the fire. We'll be back!

We had a room on the upper level. Lovely refurbished rooms with great care on the detail. Light and airy with spectacular views and nice touch of having binoculars in the room to catch the passing whales. Reception staff are 5 star. It's not often you can find no fault in a place but the owner has achieved a remarkable and unique place to stay. Best motel you will find. Would stay no where else now. Highly recommend.

On the positive side the rooms are very clean, nicely renovated in 1970s motel style and have beautiful views toward the ocean. Bed linen is high quality and the mini bar well stocked with boutique wines. Didn’t use the pool but it looked nice too in a spacious garden setting.

On the negative side parking seems to be insufficient and someone had taken our space when we returned from dinner in town. There is no soundproofing and we were disturbed by noise from a party in another room until 4am. Reception works to office hours 8.30-5.30 and weren’t around for our not-so-late 6pm arrival or not-so-early 8am departure, leading to a mix up with the credit card that was later resolved.

Perfectly renovated retaining the best of the original hotel and balancing it with new materials and fittings to make it all feel current and fresh. Late check in was a blessing and the views are to die for! I also loved that it was away from the main tourist area of Merimbula, as I find this a bit too busy. Will be back soon.

Fabulous view over the water - but sadly the rain was so extreme that we couldn’t even see that far! Plus the wind was so strong it blew the rain in under our door…
Exceptional circumstances for sure. The pool looked nice though. The room and bathroom were fine, though a little tired-looking.

Older 60’s style motel. New owners are doing a fabulous job bringing it back to life. Excellent pool, bbq and tennis court court has a great view over the town and bay. Our room for a couple was adequate in size. The amenities in the room very good with quality bathroom products. A step back in time but well worth it. We would stay again. The outdoor area is accessed by steep stairs from rear of property so this needs to be considered.

Highly recommend staying at Hillcrest Merimbula

We loved our stay at Hillcrest, and also really enjoyed Merimbula. The rooms have been tastefully and comfortably renovated. The view is wonderful and the leisure facilities are excellent. We attended an in-house North of Eden Gin Tasting whilst there, food was great as was the gin. Thanks to Caspar for his helpful advice and a great stay.
