The accommodation is comfortable and very clean. We would definitely stay there again. :-) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy B. 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Two warm weeks We decided to stay here for a restful break in early Winter. Not unexpectedly it was rather cold and wet outside, but the Unit was wonderfully warm and well insulated despite the weather. The bed and couches were very comfortable and the kitchen was easy to work in. We chose to bring a slow cooker and air-fryer which meant we rarely went out for meals. The hot water worked well and the hosts were helpful and friendly. My husband uses a walking frame but this was easy to manage in the Unit. The elevated position of the Unit was a bit more demanding for packing and unpacking the car but the view of Mt Gambier township from the Unit was great. ##### Joy B.

Its in a peaceful part of the Mount, close to everywhere we needed to be. Everything was supplied that we might need, including breakfast, which was much appreciated.

We were immediately comfortable in Sue’s darling retreat. Everything was perfectly clean and she had fruit, cereals, bread, coffee, tea, etc. waiting to welcome us. The location is next to some beautiful parks, where we were able to walk and enjoy the outside. Blue Lake was an easy walk. Sue and Gary were so welcoming. Great stay in Mount Gambier! ##### Laury T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki W., Ironbank South Australia 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot Sue has set up a fantastic place at the back of her beautiful backyard. Place was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Very quiet area, with great walks accessible just at the back fence. Kitchenette is well set up and even though there is no hot plate, there is supplied a good quality electric frying pan, so we could still have a cooked breakfast on top of the wonderful breakfast supplies already at hand! Would happily have another weekend here again and hope we can one day. ##### Vicki W.

The quality of the unit, it’s linen, and furnishings is first class, and the little touches like fresh flowers and ample breakfast supplies were very welcome. Located adjoining a big green space, a short walk to Valley Lake, and set in a beautiful tranquil garden, Sue’s retreat receives our highest recommendation. ##### Robert B.

The property is very unique as it backs onto beautiful parkland / bush with views of the Blue Lake District. Everything was immaculately clean & beautifully presented with outdoor seating overlooking the township & Sue’s gorgeous garden. Sue & Garry were both warm & welcoming and provided us with everything required to ensure a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the abundant choice of breakfast provisions including fresh fruit & real milk 🙂 Sue’s property is in a quiet & well presented neighbourhood and only 5 mins drive to the town centre. We would be very happy to stay there again if the opportunity arises. Thank you Sue and Gary for sharing your beautiful property Chris & Phil ##### Chris B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zoe W. 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Stay at a Thoughtfully Designed Cottage Studio We had a fantastic weekend staying at this charming cottage studio. From the moment we arrived, Sue and Gary were warm and welcoming—friendly and full of great local tips, yet never intrusive.The cottage itself is beautifully presented—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to make guests feel at home. The little touches made all the difference: bread in the freezer (including gluten-free options), a lovely selection of jams and spreads, butter, and even individual bottles of milk paired with neatly portioned cereal in mason jars. The bathroom was also well-stocked with toiletries and toothpaste, which was a nice bonus.For those who like to unwind, there’s a well-curated selection of books, local brochures, and even Sudoku for a bit of a challenge. The location is fantastic, backing onto a reserve with direct access to the walking path around Valley Lake—though be warned, the locals might downplay just how hilly it is! The scenery is arguably even prettier than the well-known Blue Lake walk, which is also nearby.Shops, cafés, and tourist sites are all within easy reach, and for us, the highlight was being able to walk to and from the festival at the old gaol with ease.All in all, a wonderful place to stay—highly recommended! Thanks again, Sue and Gary! ##### Zoe W.
