Lying in bed with the sunlight flooding in from across the bay made up for the noise from the bar in the evenings ! The location can't be bettered, nothing between the hotel and the harbour other than a lawn and a walkway - the view from the large balcony was excellent, especially in the early mornings and evenings.

Large clean room with a large balcony and fabulous views for 100$ Aus. Sitting above a busy bar on a Friday night you have to expect some noise and we got some. But nothing excessive and certainly didn't affect our enjoyment. Room had tea / coffee facilities, fridge, iron and board and digital tv with the usual array of poor... More

We have stayed many times here and always ask for a waterfront room as the view is sensational overlooking the bay and moored boats. It is far enough away from Sydney to feel like you have really gone somewhere else, and the rates are very reasonable. The hotel was getting a make over last time we went there and we... More

We are very sorry for your uncomfortable stay with us at the Mariners Waterfront. December last year we had renovated 50% of the rooms in the hotel and are waiting to recoup the funds we had invested into the rooms to finish the rest of the renovation. With regards to your problem with the sliding door the hotel has just... More

We stayed 2 nights in a 'superior waterview' room on the first floor of the motel wing. There are stairs from the car park ground level up to the first floor, then more stairs up to the second floor and the outside is so dated that we wondered what we'd let ourselves in for when we first arrived. This motel... More

We stayed two nights on the second floor - very comfortable room and the air conditioning was very effective. Views were lovely, but we found it too noisy to sit out on the balcony when the pub was in full swing. It did quieten down around 11, and the sound proofing was excellent - once the door was closed we... More

Quite expensive but still poor quality. Actually this was probably the best choice in Batemans Bay. Other hotels were worse and more expensive. Maybe this is the standard there. Anyway, I was not used to that standard. Personal was quite helpful, there was even free WiFi and parking in the garage. If I have to rank on European standard than... More

This place could do with an overhaul. If it wasn't for the location, it would just be a hotel attached to a pub. If you are looking for quiet you would avoid this place on a Fri or Sat night (see pub reference)....bathroom fittings needed fixing and the room needed a good clean.Service was great, as is often the case.
