Driving back from Melbourne just after New Year, we had pre-booked 2 days at the Whale Motor Inn as Narooma was suggested as a good stopover. We weren't disappointed. Our room on the 2nd level was and executive suite and was a very good choice. Newly renovated, it had a spacious hallway off of which was a decent bathroom with hairdryer and a separate bedroom which was spacious and had good hanging space and a decent make-up table & mirror which is sadly lacking in most establishments. At the end of the hass was a large lounge room with 3 + 2 seater black leather sofas, coffee table, dining table & chairs for 2, a writing desk and chair, and a small kitchenette which was nicely appointed. A flat screen TV & free internet was appreciated by us. A decent balcony with outdoor setting provided welcome sun & shade when needed and had a view over the waterways and beach.
A pool was located near this unit and there was some noise during the day, but it did not bother us as the nights were quiet. A very good restaurant and bar is located on site.
Beware the French restaurant across the road, not good value at all, but head on down to the cheap and cheerful Taylors on Riverside Drive for fish and chips overlooking the water. BYO and no charge!
