Lovely location on the headland with glorious vistas. Classic coast house with all basic requirements.
We had a wonderful stay at Cordova. The house was perfect for our needs. In particular we loved the easy access to the beautiful nearby beaches and the wonderful wharf cafe and aquarium just 5minutes walk away.

Thanks for the kind words Kathy. Its great that your stay over the jazz weekend turned out so well, and you found the delightful wharf cafe. Best of luck with your sons future Jazz performances.
It was a great house in a beautiful location, right near some wonderful walks.
Although no toilet paper was provided which was disappointing.

Hi Jillian,
It was a pleasure to have you, and a terrific guest. We are terribly sorry about the missing loo paper which is always plentifully provided for guests. The cleaner has overlooked this and is our fault. Please accept our apologies for this frustrating inconvenience, we are very happy to reimburse you for this. Cheers Kirsten.
Nice quiet place with comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. Not sure what happened to hot water on last morning

Thanks for your review Sewellyn. Glad you enjoyed your stay and you found Cordova comfortable and to your liking. Hot water gas bottle had run out, just needed to turn the gas tap across to the other bottle. Sorry for any confusion. All the best, Kirsten
It is a one time in your life experience to stay in this house although it is an old house but it has been renovated very well. I believe you will love this house too.

Host was lovely. Nice walk to beachside cafe and aquarium restaurant. Bonus chicken pecking on the window glass and saw some kangaroos in the backyard, one with a large Joey!
Stayed here for 3 nights with my wife and 2yr old son, we all loved it! The view is beautiful, the house was really easy to keep clean and had everything we needed. There is a lovely walking track only 100m up the street to an amazing headland lookout over the ocean. It also a short walk to the coastline boardwalk which runs all the way to town. Would recommend this stay to anybody looking to stay in beautiful Merimbula!

It was a pleasure to have you Mandy. Glad you enjoyed your time here and found the wonderful things Merimbula has to offer. You were wonderful guests. Hope to see you again.
We found everything as we expected (as advertised). My only criticism is that bath towels were not provided, although this was made clear to us in the "welcome" letter. We ended up having to go to town to buy them, as we forgot to bring our own.
