Whale Motor Inn

South Coast NSW


From the balcony views to the comfy beds and tasteful splashes of colour, the Whale is a standout among Narooma's many motels. 'Premier' rooms are a real bargain, capacious and modern, while suites add lounge and kitchenette. Zany decorative details increase the fun, as do the lounge bar and small pool.

There's also a refined restaurant, serving locally sourced food alongside sea views, and a popular cocktail bar.
