Beautiful indoor pool. And we thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious spa too. Wonderful stay, wish we had stayed for longer (we will certainly be making the 6hr drive just to stay here again - for longer next time!)

For the price the place was pretty average to be honest. The room was dated and articial flowers on the table and weird bedside lamps made the room look very basic. There were also some maintenance issues in the room that needed fixing. We paid the same price for a lovely room in Hahndorf. I would not recommend this motel.

Terrible service. I stayed for 3 days. No one came for room service despite asking them. I asked for clean towels but no one came and replaced them. Pool was enjoyable, had lots of fun. Overall average stay.

Last minute decision to stay in Mt.Gambier instead of driving on down the road a bit further, but there was something on in town and not many Hotels left too choose from. Nice big rooms though, parking was a bit tight. Would stay again :)

Receptionist was very disengaged, and displayed horrible customer service. halfway through checking in he gets a call and begins to take details for a payment from another customer while I stand there blank. Then proceeds to tell me he is unable to provide a tax invoice and that is the responsibility of this app, which I knew was un true. Lastly, he suggests “on the system” it is showing the room for a $50 higher price after having had agreed upon a price a minute earlier. On top of that TV did not work which i failed to raise that issue with hosts as i assumed he would dodge that responsibility as well.

Place was spacious and clean. However WiFi reception was weak and at times we couldn’t even receive any signal. Asked for 2 card keys but one key mysteriously stopped working a few hours later. The same incident happened again overnight and we had to go to the recep again to have it reset a second time. Noted too that we stayed 2 nights but no housekeeping was done ok the 2nd day. No major complaints but not a ‘wow’ experience either.

For two people the room was huge, however it was over priced and be careful when you book as price was quoted in US$ so cost around AU$200. Wouldn't stay there again as it wasn't worth the price and was also upstairs which was a problem when you have a walking problem.

Generally good

It was generally good. Staff at Reception was very helpful. The room was generally comfortable Just the water in the shower needs some improvement. The quantity of water that came out from the shower head was small.
