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.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Merrimu hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Merrimu hotel?

Holiday Inn Werribee by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff were consistently pleasant and polite, check-in had a small hiccup by the hotel about what was included in my rate, but it was sorted, and checkout was seamless. Parking and Wi-Fi were excellent. The room was quiet, but late at night I stepped on a large staple lodged in the carpet and noticed some staining. Otherwise very clean. For early starts, the cafe doesn’t open until 7 am, though they did provide a breakfast box. So overall, convenient stay with great basics and courteous staff."
