Summer on the Sapphire Coast

07 November 2024

We just love this piece of paradise we call home! Recognised Australia wide and internationally as a must-visit destination, tourism bloggers describe the Sapphire Coast in glowing terms: Aside from amazing wildlife, this spot is known for fresh seafood, pristine beaches and great breweries.

Our guests are also glowing in their praise of their stays at the Fairway including these 5-star reviews on Tripadvisor:

Best place to stay in the area : We often stay at Fairway Motor Inn and it never disappoints. Pleasant, friendly service and Debbie & Peter always try to be helpful. We would not stay anywhere else in the Pambula/Merimbula area.and cannot wait to return. If you are a golfer this is the very best position possible. Large rooms and perfectly kept.
Great Place to Stay: Room size was very generous, check in a breeze and Debbie was very friendly and offered good advice for local eateries. Fairway Motor Inn was everything we needed and overall was a pleasant stay for 2 nights.

With summer only three weeks away and Christmas only seven weeks away, we are releasing some new Summer on the Sapphire Coast packages just for you. And don’t forget, if you have stayed with us before and publish a review on Tripadvisor or Facebook, you will get 20% off your next stay!

Winter Sun at the Merimbula Fairway

26 June 2024

We love winter on the Sapphire Coast!

Just because you might not want to swim in the ocean (although a lot of people do!), there's still plenty of impressive ocean views to enjoy from some of our favourite scenic spots, which we will share with you when you next come to visit.

Every day offers something different. Yesterday morning we enjoyed watching a dolphin and pelicans in a fish feeding frenzy while drinking coffee at one of our favourite winter sun spots in Merimbula, Mitchies Jetty! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook where we post regular updates from this beautiful part of the world.

Winter schools holidays are just around the corner and with staggered dates for different states, we are offering a 20% off school holiday package for bookings of 2 nights or more from this Friday June 28 to July 22.

And don't forget we also have a 'Stay and Play' package which is available all year round where you book 2 nights and stay the third for half price.

Details, conditions and how to book our packages are on our website on the Packages and Deals page or give us a call on 6495 6000.

Fairway Motor Inn is a short drive from Merimbula airport, and family owned by Debbie and Peter Gardiner since 2002.

We are directly across the road from the 27-hole Pambula Merimbula Golf Club and next door to award-winning Wheelers Oyster Seafood Restaurant.

We are within walking distance to the coastal paradise of Merimbula and its stunning lakes, beaches, cafes, restaurants, clubs, takeaway, parks, retail centre, supermarkets and walking tracks. We are also within walking distance of the bustling village of Pambula with its delightful array of specialty shops including artisan bakery Wild Ryes, cafes, galleries, fashion, vintage collectables, boutiques, and eco-friendly retail with a strong focus on local.
