"Loved our stay, very happy with our choice to stay here"

Quest Watergardens

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Quest Watergardens. We chose a 1 bedroom room so we had the flexibility of space for my husband who would needs to work remotely sometimes during the night. The room was perfect for that. We loved having the kitchen even through we didn't end up cooking. The dishwasher drawer was a lovely way to clean up each morning. We loved having all the space in the living area. The balcony was an unexpected detail which we loved using. Opening the door fully and hearing the birds or sitting on the balcony for my morning coffee was lovely. The bed was super comfortable and so welcome each night. The bedding was a perfect weight for deep sleep. The room was super quiet and we were hardly aware of any other people. The shower was lovely and I didn't experience any changes in temperature or pressure while using it. The shopping center right next door was great for coffee, delicious bakeries, and any other Aussie treat we desired. The staff of Quest Watergarden were friendly, helpful, and delightful. We definitely will stay again when we're in Melbourne."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Merrimu?

The best time to visit Merrimu is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.

During spring, the region experiences mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This is an ideal time for exploring the Merrimu Reservoir and its surrounding walking trails, as the native wildflowers are in bloom, adding colour to the landscape. It's also a great season for sampling local produce at farm gates, which are often more active during harvest periods.

Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather, with temperatures generally between 12°C and 22°C. The cooler, crisp air makes it superb for hiking or cycling through the rolling hills and enjoying the changing colours of the deciduous trees in the nearby Dandenong Ranges. This period is also excellent for wine tasting at local vineyards, as many are busy with the grape harvest and offer special cellar door experiences.

While summer (December to February) can be hot, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's still a popular time for those who enjoy water activities on the Merrimu Reservoir or prefer warmer weather for outdoor dining.
