Convenient location. We were late for the check-in time, and the manager tried to contact me. The swimming pool is a big attraction for kids. All facilities (like microwave, toaster, etc) are very helpful.

Bo Australia

Great place and friendly staff. Best night sleep for the whole family in ages

Wayne Australia

We made a spur of the moment decision to visit Mount Gambier, it is a beautiful location with lots to do. we booked a family room for a family of 4 but really should have booked one of the two bedroom apartments which we normally would have if we didn’t book last minute. it still was doable. Rooms were clean with housekeeping each day. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly especially Jodie. we left behind a sentimental pair of earrings gifted by grandparents and they sent them back to us. Thanks so much! The pool being indoors is an absolute winner and I bet is used all year. My kids loved hanging out there. Location is very central to landmarks, the city, shops and Woolworths.
