Good and affordable place to stay. Close to all amenities. All necessary things provided. It will be good to have a microwave. It's was bit too open for any stranger to enter the rooms alleyway. The morning breakfast was not served on the day we wanted to eat. Bit disappointed. We were given discount coupons for the dining but can not use it as well.

It was the first time for me to visit Mt Gambier and I stayed in this hotel. The staff were very helpful and kind. The young boy Connor was very good at his job as a receptionist and bistro waiter. I loved the sweet wine recommended by the bar staff, and they helped me to find a taxi to airport. Very positive and lovely country vibes.
