I've just booked some accommodation for the Mambo and have a spare room available at $42 / night. In Thurs 27/11 out Monday 1 Dec, 4 nights. The place is right near the main beach, see link www.surfsidemerimbula.com.au/
If interested please PM me or call Des on 0412 262 085.
A whole bunch of us stayed there in 02. Top spot, stagger over to the BBQ for brekky, rig up on the grass and cool off in the pool with a frostie.
Walking distance to the night life and the owners are cool.
Have fun Des.
BTW, I'm travelling from Sydney, so I can offer transport as well if you're coming from the same direction. 
Planning to leave early Thursday morning.
