Christmas this year was spent both at my Mums, and in Merimbula,which is situated on the Sapphire coast, south coast of Australia. I have been there as a child though Mr K&G had never been, so that was the destination for this year. Unfortunately the place we stayed at, despite paying thousands and expecting something half decent - wasnt. It was so dirty and smelly it was not pleasant. So we really tried to be out of the place (and ive decided to do a review - with pictures, on Tripadvisor.com to name and shame as they refused to acknowledge how filth the place was!) and made an effort to see the local sights - we day tripped to Bega - visited the cheese factory and bought some cheeses and butter! Unfortunately (they had listed 'Due to Health Regulations') there were no longer any cheese making tours which i think Monet would have loved so we then drove on to Tathra. What a lovely little town. It poured. Then stormed. Then hailed, then stormed some more! Was a great day though and learnt a little about the area. We also day tripped to Eden and Pambula - learnt some interesting facts about Edens whaling past and visited the aquarium (whish was very small but good for the kids to see) We also visited the Whaling museum which had a small cost for entry but was well worth it.
We spent 10 days in Merimbula, went to the beach a little (for summer its been really cold and blew a gale there the whole time) swam in the frigid cold pool at the 'resort' (hah!) and tried to relax.
Next year we are going to pay a little extra to go to a resort that has kids club - we dont have anyone to look after M here so we think we deserve a rest at the end of each year - plus poor M was bored and loved playing with some kids we met at the 'resort'. She is very active - mentally and socially so she deserves some more fun too!
All in all it was a mixed trip away - but made all the better for not being at work!
So now any suggestions on great places to stay (preferably NSW/Queensland) that has a great kids club would be appreciated!
