It’s been such an exciting past month that we don’t know where to start on the exciting news and updates!
We’ll start with our Easter availability - we only have a few rooms left for the Easter weekend and only a few 7 night packages left for our 25% off Easter School Holiday deal which is available for bookings between Friday April 8 and Sunday April 24, 2022. Package details and how to book.
Local events
We love having events back again and there are so many to choose from! This weekend we are booked out with guests who are attending Saturday’s Giiyong Festival at Jigamy to celebrate Aboriginal arts and culture. This family friendly event will be wonderful. When people put on such great events like this so many other businesses in the region benefit.
Speaking of events, we also only have a few rooms left during the weekend of April 23-24 with the Black Sorrows coming to Oaklands for a fundraiser for the Social Justice Advocates of the Sapphire Coast.
Merimbula airport is open!
We’re thrilled to have Merimbula airport open again with daily Rex and Qantas flights, and there are some great deals on offer. Merimbula is so fortunate to have an airport, allowing locals and visitors much more flexibility for work or leisure trip planning.
Past events
In the past month we also enjoyed Merimbula EAT Festival and after a wet week beforehand, we enjoyed glorious weather. This annual event, held on the Victorian Labour Day long weekend and the ACT's Canberra Day long weekend, EAT creates a buzz like no other. With food and drink stalls set up along the beautiful waterfront at Fishpen, we loved seeing so many people enjoying the sunshine and being out and about. It's a credit to organisers and the businesses involved, and from a broader business perspective, many of us benefit from this influx of visitors and we are extremely grateful. We were booked out and loved having our motel full. We can't wait for next year!
Sapphire Coast Weddings & Events also put on a fabulous wedding expo at Oaklands Event Centre which we were pleased to be part of. We host a lot of wedding guests due to the size of our rooms and spacious grounds. If you have a wedding coming up please give Debbie a call as we offer special discounts on group bookings.
Golf group returns
One of the best parts of being at the Fairway Motor Inn for almost 20 years is our returning guests. We were thrilled to host a golf group who have been coming here for 17 years! They’ve only missed one year in that time due to COVID. They stay for several days and end their visit with a barbecue on-site. The weather came in a bit wet, but that never deters keen golfers!
Welcoming guests with disabilities
We attended a workshop about how to improve our access for guests. We have a room specifically set up for people with disabilities, we have many ground floor rooms and all our rooms are large and have plenty of room for things like wheelchairs. We have many measures in place that enable people in wheelchairs, with walking frames or other needs to enjoy a special holiday at the Fairway. Please don’t hesitate to ask when you make a booking if you have special requirements, and we will be able to let you know how we can make your stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
