The gaol is a unique experience and it has all the facilities you need.

So fun to stay in a historic gaol! Really enjoyed being able to wander around and read all the signs about what gaol life was like. Bed was comfy and the facilities were good. Great value, would recommend to anyone visiting Mt Gambier.

Really unique experience to stay in a historical site like this, and the owners have managed to create a surprisingly cosy atmosphere with plenty of additional comforts (comfortable common areas, board games, magazines, free tea and coffee), It is also reasonably priced, and in a great location.

I loved the atmosphere, the feeling of the place and the exceptional service. I felt comfortable and at home.

everything. I can stay in the courtyard for a whole day.

Very cool place to stay! Amazing very clean and quiet place!

We stayed for the experience of spending the night in a Gaol and was definitely well worth it! Lots of history, well set up, plenty of room and we had the place to ourselves which meant we could explore without annoying any other guests.

Hot strong showers and good heater in room. Kitchen was clean and had everything we need. My partner heard clicking noises in the middle of the night which we joke maybe the guard counting inmates (is probably just water dripping imo). Very unique experience. Would recommend.

Great place. Loved the basketball ring for the kids. The history signs around the walls were interesting.

Location was central, rooms were comfortable. We were lucky enough to have the kitchen and share bathroom to ourselves .
