Great accomodation in the Fishpen, perfect for larger families or multiple families. Feels like a home away from home as opposed to most accomodation options.

We had a wonderful time staying at Peter's place. It is a fantastic spot, perfectly located to everything. Great coffee just around the corner at Mitchies Espresso Bar. Beautiful house, plenty of space. The boys loves the pool and the table tennis. Huge yard for our dog. I loved the big deck upstairs. Will definitely be going there again.

This house is great for a large group or two families to share. We had two families and the lower level was ideal for the teenagers to sleep and have their own rumpus/games area (with TV) and bathroom (stand up shower only). Upstairs bedrooms were nice and spacious for the adults with another bathroom (shower over bathtub) and comfy lounge with fireplace. The house is in a fantastic location, only a few minutes walk to the beach and an easy 10 min walk across bridge to town. There is a great cafe and a fish and chip shop a few mins walk away. The upstairs large covered deck is a great space for outdoor dining and lounging and has a lovely view across to the lake. We didnt use the pool as it was too cold but it is a nice size with a few lounge chairs-would be fantastic in summer. The table tennis table was a fun on the day we got some rainy weather. The house was clean and tidy and bed linen good quality. The only negatives are that both bathrooms are in need of renovating, and the Webber BBQ provided is way too small for a large group. There was 6 of us and it was too small and we had to cook some meat on the stove inside which was not ideal. I would recommend to the owner to upgrade the BBQ to a large grill to accommodate big groups. Also the BBQ was very dirty on arrival and we had to spend time cleaning it ourselves so that was another let down. Host was very apologetic and was good to deal with during our stay. Overall I would recommend and we would stay again.

Perfect location, perfect hosts
My family and I spent a week here. It really feels like home, such a wonderful place to spend some down time. We walked to the beach everyday which is a minute stroll. The location is close to all amenities and we were able to bring our fury members of our family.
Many thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven with us! We will be back…

The Fishpen was a neat and tidy property in a gr8 location easily accessible only a few minor issues
As a family of seven we had plenty of room, the wifi was a life saver with the younger members, access to the beach was top notch with a minute stroll to the beach. Only thing I would like to see change would be a bigger bbq for catering for larger families other than this the stay was thoroughly enjoyable

Location, location, location
Wow, this property was in an amazing location with very short walking distance to most things like Mitchie’s Jetty where you can swim in the calm waters and hire SUPS and canoes and also buy a nice coffee and croissant and not also great fishing as well. The surf beach is virtually across the road (walking path through bush right opposite house). The house was very clean and roomy with a great lounge, dining and kitchen area. The backyard is huge and has a beautiful pool to swim in. Overall the property was fantastic and also pet friendly, and Peter was a great host and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Fishpen Retreat to anyone wishing to spend their holiday in beautiful Merimbula. We sure will be back one day😊

The house is very close to the beach and a short walk into Merimbula shops.
The home has 2 living areas, great for all ages. There is an all weather outdoor entertainment area upstairs with views of the lake.
Peter was a great host, easy check-in. The welcome bottle of wine and chocolates was a lovely gesture.
Thankyou again Peter for a lovely stay.

One of the Best I've stayed at!
From the begging dealing with Peter was a pleasure, helpful and excellent customer service. Its the attention to detail that sets this accommodation apart, from the welcome bottle of wine and chocolates to the immaculate presentation of the property. Spotless, well appointed and everything you need to enjoy a coastal holiday set with views over the Merimbula broad water. You want be disappointed! Thanks for a great stay.
