Merimbula is a lovely town located between Melbourne and Sydney, in the southern part of New South Wales. The town has lovely lakes and beaches with water as blue as sapphire. During the summer, the population increases as tourists looking for a place to relax and get away from the busy and stressful city life start to arrive. Nightlife in this quiet town is not as exciting as in other cities, as young adults looking for adventure and parties prefer other destinations. This makes Merimbula an ideal family holiday destination as children can play on the sand, swim on the lovely beaches, play frisbee, and go fishing and kayaking. Accommodation is also easy to find. Check our list of Stayz accommodations in Merimbula, Australia, for a comfortable and affordable place to stay.
