South Seas Motel's Pool Club is an outdoor bar serving classic beverages and snacks by the pool! We may be biased but we think we have the best pool and pool deck in town! We also have expansive garden areas with heaps of lounges to relax and unwind and it's right in the middle of town. Come for a drink before you head for dinner. Its a great place to meet friends in a relaxed chilled atmosphere.
Our simple menu features classic cocktails, beer and wine and we also have a range of platters so you can enjoy some cheese and crackers while you sip on your mojito! We are keeping things simple so we can offer you good service at great prices. Pool Club is open to motel guests and the general public (18+).
Bookings are recommended and can be made by texting 0444 539 204.

Under 18s
Pool Club is for 18+, unless you are a guest staying at the motel. Motel guests under 18 years of age are welcome.
Weather
Pool Club is dependent on weather, because no one wants to be sipping cocktails in the rain. This means that if it is inclement weather we may not open or we may close early. Check out our Facebook page for updates.
Clothing
Pool Club is casual, but we do ask that if you are going to swim, please wear swimming clothing. If you aren't clothed in swim wear and you go into the pool, you will be asked to leave Pool Club. Wearing just underwear in and around the pool area is not appropriate attire and you will be asked to leave. Pool towels are free of charge for motel guests and $4.00 for others.
No Smoking/Vaping/Water Pipes
Pool Club and the surrounding garden areas are smoke free. This also means vaping. If you wish to smoke please go to the car park and make sure you are 4m from any shared pathway area.
Dogs
We love dogs and we have two that call South Seas their home. If you are staying with us in one of our pet friendly rooms, you are welcome to bring your dog to pool club, but please make sure they are on a lead and don't go in the water. Please be considerate of other guests as not everyone may like your dog as much as you do. Tully and Ziggy will make an appearance from time to time, after all they are our Guest and Staff Welfare Managers!
Guest Behaviour
We want you to have a great time when staying with us at the South Seas Motel and also our visitors to Pool Club. Please be respectful of all our guests and the motel. Any guest or visitors not respecting other guests and the property will be asked to leave.
Responsible Service of Alcohol
We want a chilled vibe that people can enjoy. If we think you have had enough we will pull up stumps on your drinks orders and ask you to leave. We have tap water for all our Pool Club goers, so please drink wisely and responsibly while enjoying the Merimbula sun.
Pool Club is a licensed venue, BYO alcohol is not permitted when the bar is operating. BYO is ok at all other times.
