The Retreat Lakeside Merimbula

The Retreat Lakeside Merimbula is luxury waterfront apartment accommodation on the shores of Merimbula Lake, on the Sapphire Coast. With self-contained studio, two-bedroom and three-bedroom options looking straight out over the water, it needed a website that did the views justice and earned direct bookings rather than handing every guest to the big booking sites.

The brief

Show the property and its lakeside setting at their best, make the three accommodation options easy to compare, and drive direct enquiries and bookings. Every stay booked through the site instead of an aggregator is money kept off the commission.

What we built

A photography-led, fast, mobile-first website with booking-ready accommodation pages for each unit, clear waterfront imagery, and a straightforward path to enquire or book. On-page SEO targets searches for waterfront accommodation merimbula and luxury accommodation merimbula, all on fast Australian hosting.

The result

A strong direct-booking shopfront that puts the lake views front and centre and ranks well for merimbula accommodation searches.

What was involved

• Custom website design built around the property and its waterfront photography
