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 long weekend away for 2 couples and 2 teenagers. Ideal fishing and dog walking spot

The photos do not do this place justice. It has everything you need. Across the road from the beach and views over the river. Perfect place for our group. Thank you so much for our stay!

A lovely large home and yard for our large family group , in the perfect location

Traveling with young kids and a dog can be challenging to find suitable accommodation for all. This place is perfect! Amazing big fenced yard, lovely house with everything you need and sooo close to the beach and playground. Oh and amazing coffee at the end of the street! Brilliant stay, highly recommend.

This was a great home for our family get together. Plenty of space and close to beach and coffee shop. We will be back

Easy from start to finish. Amazing location and relaxed house to borrow.

Beautiful location, clean and tidy, well set up. Crystal clear pool. Plenty of space for 8 of us. Will definitely stay again.

Great location with access to both lake and ocean so close by. Comfortable Property with large pool.

A wonderful place to stay - perfect location and great set up.

We will be back, we had such a lovely time and the house and location is just perfect for a family and dog! So much to do with the pool, huge backyard, entertaining deck and views… Thanks for having us.

We had a great weekend away. The property is beautiful, it was very clean, it has lots of space and it’s in a great location. Thanks, Peter!

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…

Just down the road from a lovely cafe, great views, clean and welcoming house, perfect for a long weekend with a group of people.

Thanks so much to Peter - excellent host & wonderful property that is well set up for a group of friends & family. Lovely area, walking distance to everything, perfect!

Will consider next time because of the awesome hospitality

Fantastic family property. Great for a large family gathering

Fab house to stay in, right between lake and beach our family could not of asked for more, excellent

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

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😊

We all had a lovely holiday staying here. 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.

We all loved staying in this property, so close to the beach, short walk to boardwalk & most things Merimbula has to offer. The home’s two living rooms were perfect for multi generations, the upstairs outdoor entertainment area was great for all weather conditions & the beds were comfortable. Peter is a wonderful host. We appreciated all the extras especially for our family Christmas celebration/holiday.

Great house, perfect location, 15 min to town, across from the beach. We will be back to stay

Thank you so much Peter, this place was amazing! So family friendly, clean, fantastic location, also- close to coffee ;) We will be back !

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.

Amazing holiday house close to all the proximity in merimbula. Peter the owner of the property was always prompt on reply of anything you are unsure. Kids just loved the swimming pool. Overall a great couple of nights we spent. Thank you Peter.

We really enjoyed our stay at Fishpen Retreat. Great house with all the amenities you could need. Amazing location.

A lovely house with lots of space , a good kitchen and spotlessly clean. Coffee at the jetty almost on the doorstep and a very short stroll to cafe for breakfast. A brilliant place to explore all that Merimbula has to offer.
