Guest Reviews
- pillay (10/5): It was a comfortable stay - The location was good and we didn’t experience traffic noise The towel rack near the toilet was very unhygienic
- Irene (10/5): - Great bed, great room, great facilities Nothing
- Matt (8/5): - Huge room and very comfortable. Close walk to main town centre Traffic noise. I use booking.com a lot when travelling but I would recommend talking to this motel direct and getting a room that's not out front. It's on a main highway end the trucks were loud as. Great if you want to be up early for travel I guess.
- 刘 (8/5): -
- Chels (9/5): -
- Graeme (10/5): Will come again. - The standard breakfast included in the room rate was very very basic. No good for a diabetic. The cooked breakfast at additional cost was excellent and reasonably priced
- Carolyne (10/5): -
- Chris (9/5): -
- Tamara (7/5): -
- Kathryn (4/5): Nice staff but facilities lacking. - Good dinner and breakfast at restaurant. Curtains broken and had to be pinned. Queen size electric blanket put on king size bed, leaving the hard lump of large plug in the middle of one side of bed. Had to completely strip the bed at ten o’clock at night to take it off and remake it. How could a cleaner not notice this?
- Dana (9/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful, we even got a last minute room with a bath! Happy hour had some great deals and it felt very cosy, both in the lounge area and in our room. I'd love to come back! The wines were very pricey on the menu so we chose not to order one with dinner (the cost for a glass was around $18 on average) and the food was a little costly, but we enjoyed the food. The kitchen closes quite early for a Saturday so we felt a bit rushed through dinner. I also found the pillows too soft, but 2 together were too high, but that could just be personal preference.

- Mark (10/5): -
- Matthew (8/5): - Nice
- Evangelista (8/5): -
- Bridger (8/5): Nice place - I have been here twice now and the restaurant was very nice. I like the location as well. I have been here twice. the first time was a twin room and second time was deluxe studio at a higher price. To be honest I was not impressed with the second time room. 3 Lights blown. No light in fridge. Cupboard Door to fridge did not close completely. Similar bathroom so not much difference.
- Lucas (10/5): -
- Zeljko (10/5): -
- shane (7/5): -
- Benny (10/5): - Clean, reasonable price, good food in restraunt and friendly staff Nothing
- Cameron (4/5): - Room was not very clean. Had cockroaches in the cupboard and a possum in the roof scratching all nigjt. Room 15
- Lynette (8/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): -
- ZhongMing (9/5): - The comfortable bed, the room layout, the friendly staff The restaurant's menu says Seafood Paste but it's actually Asian noodles and stir-fry veges is oily
- Cynthia (8/5): Pour une nuit c’est ok. - La chambre était fonctionnelle et assez proche de tout. Le petit-déjeuner était petit pour le prix qu’on a payé. Peu de choix.
- Nicole (4/5): the bright light through the frosted glass bathroom door wasn't great for sleeping! - the bed and pillows were comfy. the decor was lovely there were random loud knocking sounds all night. I ended up calling reception after hours as it was keeping me awake - it was the hot water system and required me running the hot water in the shower for 10 minutes. The light coming from the window in the bathroom and through the frosted glass door to the bedroom was so bright and straight into my eyes when trying to sleep. There was no way to block this light. Whilst the location is great it is actually really hard to get to if you aren't in the left lane on the highway - i.e. I couldn't turn right heading west along the highway and around the roundabout as I couldnt change lanes in time
- Julia (7/5): - Great location and good parking options, big and comfortable rooms. Cleanliness could have been better.
- Emma (7/5): - Nette kamer, het zag er schoon uit. Vriendelijk personeel. Er stond dat het naast een drukke weg stond en dat daar geluidsoverlast van kon zijn. Dat is ook echt zo in de kamer die wij hadden, de ramen trilde ervan. Ook hoorde wij veel van de buren, o.a. de wekker gaan
- Y (7/5): -
- Helen (7/5): - Location. Room was clean and spacious. Good bathroom Bed was too soft for me but that’s personal preference.
- Sushil (8/5): -
- Bridger (9/5): I will stay again if not booked out. - Location good. Room was nice and comfortable. The room I had was close to road and was a little noisy but web site did mention it and I found it not that bad. Restaurant was nice and professional staff. It’s not maccas pricing but it was still good food. I stay at many motels for work. I found the amount of sugar In my room was not enough. I like sugar. lol. That’s really about it.
- Vrandesh (8/5): Rest easy and comfortable. Fantastic service. - Love the location and fantastic resting place to stay due to the location as we can start exploring the city from this point and then progress to all the iconic places around Mt Gambier.
- Mihiranga (10/5): -
- Jennifer (9/5): Friendly staff, great location, affordable price, free parking - Clean facilities and comfortable beds. The room was a little bit small for a family of four but it was good enough for 1 night. Despite being on the highway, the room wasn't noisy at all. We were also able to park the car right outside our room. I would prefer a smoke free accommodation, especially while travelling with children. We saw the guest next to our room was sitting outside their room smoking twice. The smell really lingered despite using the air freshener kindly provided by the motel staff.
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Massimo (7/5): -
- Jenny Lyn (7/5): It was a comfortable place to sleep while enjoying the city of Mount Gambier - Location was easy to find, comfy beds No complimentary drinks or snacks
- Yuchen (9/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Felt like everything had an extra price tag including the water. - Comfortable beds and helpful staff Only hotel we have been too where the bottled water you had to pay for, not good. Also we paid for breakfast to find the basic breakfast was barely adequate, no cereal options and hardly any fruit, far from acceptable.
- Brendan (7/5): -
- Mick (10/5): - Comfortable accommodation with great facilities. We particularly liked the restaurant, which made our stay great after a long drive.
- Eileen (8/5): -
- Jamey (10/5): -
- David (9/5): Comfortable and friendly staff. Very clean and a good sized room - Convenient clean relaxed Internet signal was hit and miss
- Gopal Singh (8/5): Overall it was very good - Overall it was really very good option to stay. Overall room was good but I faced issue with AC in the room. It wasn’t working properly not enough cooling. Though it was 1 night stay, and I notice the issue in night so didn’t make any complaints
- Yinxin (8/5): -
- kerry (6/5): -
- Alice (8/5): -
- Steven (8/5): My regular in MT Gambier - Good basic accommodation Rooms need a refresh
- PaulGee (10/5): - Cleanliness and nice rooms
- Livia (7/5): - - schönes Bad - Laute Strasse
- Alexander (9/5): - Very clean comfy Bed was way to soft and pillows
- Helen (10/5): - Big room with good facilities. Great restaurant.
- Bianca (10/5): -
- Brian (7/5): Quite reasonable - Room was fine, a little outdated but okay for the price. There was a minor issue with housekeeping from prior guests but nothing too significant. All staff were great and had no issues when discussing details of payment etc. No big concerns. Breakfast was fairly ordinary for the price. I was expecting better from references from others, but it may have been better for dinner than breakfast.
- Patrice (10/5): Une étape à ne pas rater - Un excellent choix d'hotel. tout a été parfait de la chambre, confortable et très propre, au diner (à ne pas manquer, encore félicitation au chef) ainsi que le petit déjeuner
- Guest (9/5): -

- Tracy (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Ivy (10/5): -
- Damian (8/5): - We stayed in the 4 bedroom house and loved it! Spacious, very comfy beds, great bathrooms and had everything we needed. Staff were lovely too. Would have loved a bigger couch and another TV somewhere would make this place amazing.
