Feels like it isn't a fully functioning motel anymore. Reception is nearly gone, swimming pool has been filled in, and large cobwebs in the room. Some of the other amenities listed on website when booking also were non-existent. Other than the cobwebs the room did feel clean and wifi was working (just)

Are they still trying?

Centrally located to restaurants and Pambula Main Street. The motor inn has good quality beds, quiet and very clean.  Their is nothing this Motor Inn lacks for a visitor.   The owner is hospitable and was very accommodating to our large group.  

Great Aussi Motor Inn

I stayed a night over a long weekend, when Merimbula was packed to the brim. Pambula is a cute historic township, 10 minutes drive from Merimbula. The hotel is of an older style, but the rooms are comfortable, well furnished and clean. Bathroom and  kitchen facilities are excellent, and stocked with the necessities - including a free continental breakfast. Better and friendlier service than many places that cost much more. 5 minute walk to local brewery, cafes, historic sites and the natural wetlands reserve. Great spot for a quiet weekend away. 

Tidy value

Our room was dated but the sheets were clean and the bed comfortable.  Continental breakfast was included.  There was a night light in the bathroom, I have never seen this in a motel before and it was a brilliant idea. Thank you

Value for money.

I am sorry to write this as I support local businesses whenever possible.
I stayed two nights at the Colonial and found the room was not clean.
The blanket on the bed had an awful mark, possibly substance, and I immediately put it into the cupboard and slept in the sheets. 
There was an unpleasant smear on the ceiling where something had been squashed and the TV screen was marred with visible dark fingerprints.
The bench surfaces were in places sticky which I cleaned.
At 11 the second night I found a large insect in the sheets and was handed a can of fly spray when the manager had removed it.
The bathroom was clean but the rest made for an uncomfortable stay.
I was disappointed as the majority of the reviews I read were positive.
I photographed all of the things I have listed.

uncomfortable

Motel owner is the lowest of the low. We left a day early at 8am based on govt alert because of the enormous bushfire approaching the area for fears the only road back home would be closed and it later was. Despite this and us telling them our reasoning they took full advantage of the situation and still charged us at the full rate for the day we didn't stay. We let them know early so they could resell the room to one of the thousands of displaced people in the area. Definitely would have resold the room to someone else. Double income that day. This experience, like the motel room, was absolutely awful. Next to very noisy main road too. 

Took advantage of the bushfires

Lovely spacious accommodation, with comfortable settee, dining table and chairs and kitchen area.  Large comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with excellent shower. All sparkling clean and in first class order.  Owner very friendly and attentive.  Fresh milk in fridge on arrival. Kitchen area very well equipped. We rang ahead to ask for a quiet room as this motel is just off the main A1 highway and he was very obliging. Would thoroughly recommend.

Sparkling clean and comfortable accommodation

Stayed here as an overnight stay for work.
Owner was friendly and helpful with dinner recommendations. 
Rooms are older furnished but bed was super comfy.
Rooms are quiet even though it's on the highway. 
Well worth the stay and priced well.

Little Gem

My wife and I stayed one night early October. Easy to locate. Quiet location. Genuinely nice hosts with good local knowledge as to where to eat. Large clean room with comfortable bed and pillows. Fast WiFi. Would stay again.

NSW/ACT Road Trip

I visited the motel on a work trip and was very impressed with both the size of the room, facilites, and the fact the owner brought me bread and milk, and there were cereals, butter and jam etc in the room at no extra cost. The bed was comfy, the room clean and tidy and there was also a microwave in the room which for me is good because I always eat in the room as I type reports at night. Highly recommended and a short drive from some lovely beaches.
