"Comfortable overnighter."

The Commodore

10/10 Excellent

"Staffs are friendly and helpful, room is clean, convenient location."

Presidential Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for one night as a layover on a road trip. Seemed like newly renovated rooms, so spacious, front desk guy was super friendly, comfy warm beds, spacious rooms, amazing shower and a great big tub for the kids baths. Had coffee tea kettle fridge and microwave, way more amenities and comforts than what i was expecting. Super impressed."

Golden Chain Tower Motor Inn

"Clean room. We were in deluxe. Good value ."

Mount Gambier Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for 1 night on the way to Adelaide but the hotel was excellent. Our room was huge, the food in the hotel was of a high standard and the staff couldn't have done enough to help us."

Mid City Motel - Mount Gambier

10/10 Excellent

"VERY NICE MOTEL AND I SLEPT SO WELL"

Modern Cottage in peaceful setting, dog door to large fenced yard, farm walks.

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was exactly as described, with a fully fenced yard that was perfect for our dog, and the dog beds provided were a nice extra touch. The bed was very comfortable, and the reverse-cycle air conditioning kept us nice and warm on some chilly nights. We’ll definitely stay again next time we’re near Mount Gambier!"

The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

8/10 Good

"I had heard about the accommodation on offer at the former Mount Gambier Gaol some years ago and wanted to try it. Finally a spontaneous trip to the area made it possible. Depending on how the site is booked through this site, final payment may be required the day before you arrive. A quick phone call to the hotel sorted this and information required to check in was sent shortly after. If you are after a regular motel room with full facilities rather than a hostel experience, this may not be the best. For an authentic experience of sleeping in an gaol cell, and using shred facilities like a kitchen and shower like the prisoners used to, it is worthhile. You are allowed to explore the facilities and read about the history of the gaol while you stay, which made the limits of the rooms more than worthwhile. Location wise, its an easy walk up the road to the Wulanda gym and convention centre and a quick walk across the former train station area to shopping and dining options."
