When Merivale needed custom pickleball paddles for their Narooma venue, they came back to Pulse Pickleball. The result was a set of branded paddles that matched the venue's premium feel and gave guests a genuinely memorable way to spend time on the coast.
Here is how we brought the project together.
Merivale and Narooma
Merivale is one of Australia's most recognised hospitality groups, with a portfolio of venues that consistently set the benchmark for guest experience. Their Narooma location is a coastal escape on the NSW South Coast, a stretch of coastline known for its scenery, its oysters, and its unhurried pace of life.
Pickleball is a natural fit for a destination like this. Guests at a coastal venue want to be active, social, and outdoors. Pickleball delivers all three. And when you are Merivale, the equipment has to match the setting. Generic paddles were never an option. They wanted something that reflected the quality of the venue and gave guests an experience worth talking about.
The Design Process
Merivale's brand carries a lot of weight, and every detail of the paddle needed to reflect that.
- Design consultation. We worked with the Merivale team to get the branding, colours, and layout right for a coastal environment. The paddle needed to feel at home on a sunny court by the water.
- Mockup review. A digital mockup was provided for approval before production so the team could see the finished look before a single paddle was made.
- Production. Each paddle was built to the same specification as our retail range, with a polypropylene honeycomb core and quality face material. These are paddles built to perform, not just look the part.
- Delivery. Paddles were delivered directly to the Narooma venue, ready for guests from day one.
The finished paddles were clean, premium, and unmistakably Merivale. Exactly right for the setting.
Why Coastal and Resort Venues Are Adding Pickleball
Merivale is not alone in seeing what pickleball adds to a hospitality offering. Coastal resorts, retreat venues, and holiday properties across Australia are recognising the sport as a genuine drawcard for guests.
It Fits the Lifestyle
Guests who travel to a place like Narooma are looking for an experience, not just a room. Pickleball slots into that perfectly. It is easy to pick up, works for all ages, and is social enough that a group of strangers can share a court and have a great time. That is exactly what a hospitality venue wants to offer.
It Extends the Stay
Give guests something to do on site and they are more likely to stay longer, order more, and come back. A pickleball court with quality branded equipment becomes part of the reason someone books in the first place. For a coastal venue where the experience is the point, that matters.
Branded Paddles Elevate the Experience
There is a significant difference between a bucket of generic rental paddles and a set of custom branded paddles that carry the venue's identity. The latter signals care and quality at a touchpoint guests actually notice. For members and guests of a Merivale venue, that kind of detail is expected.
Custom Paddles for Venues, Resorts, and Events
Whether you run a coastal retreat, a resort property, a country club, or a hospitality venue, custom pickleball paddles make the activity feel like a premium part of the experience rather than an afterthought.
