The view is amazing and is just few minutes walking to the blue lake. Highly recommended. The only cons is the check out at 10am. As per many other places around, an 11am check out would be more attractive and less rush to leave the site

Location is extremely good and really close to the blue lake. Weather is cooling and nice. However there was a little construction going on nearby and had some sounds early in the morning. Rather than that, pretty good place!

Mt Gambier is a reasonable sized town so there is a lot to see and do. We loved the location and views of the surrounding areas around the park. BBQs in the kitchen which was spotless. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day to see the blue lake, gardens and countryside around the area.

Probably still worth it
There was a smell that wasn't that pleasant but was able to go away when we sprayed the rooms. Pillows not that comfortable, but the views and location was very good. WIFI was terrible and hardly worked.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great area, poor cleanliness.
The cabin was ok but upon entry a very strong curry smell. Considering the cleaner was in the cabin moments before, not good enough. Still empty chip packets left in bedroom. Shower head fell off during a shower and the thread was damaged and only pushed on. Empty beer bottles in garden around cabin. For the cost of over $270 it should have been much better.

Small cottage with all you need for a short stay
This review is somewhat coloured by my previous stay at this park in the beautiful new houses up on the hill. The cottage appears to be built in the 50's/60's, it is in a row of 3. The cottage floor plan is a studio set up, with the kitchen, eating, lounge and bedroom all in the one space. The room also had a wood burning stove, there is no air conditioning, however there was a ceiling fan. There are little signs in the room that ask you to wash your own dishes, tidy up and remove rubbish upon departure. Personally these kinds of requests tend to cause a bit of an abrupt end to the holiday mode for me, however it is understandable why they do it but the enforcement by threats of an unspecified dollar value 'cleaning fee' gets my back up. After all I am your guest, not your pseudo employee. That's just my gripe but it is my review. The kids jumping thingy is close by and you will hear kids being kids. If you don't want to hear a thing this is not the spot for you. See if you can stay in one of the newer homes or a cabin away from the action. In summary not bad but could do with some basic creature comforts updated, air conditioning for one, new mattress. It's basic accomodation but I think a little pricey, but that seems to be an Australia wide problem.

Excellent location, poor value for money
This place is in an excellent location with friendly helpful staff, however in my opinion, is quite overpriced for the facilities that it offers and the facilities are minimal and very dated.

Clean and Good Location
We stayed in a cabin for one night. It was very clean and a good size for our family of four. The grounds had good amenities and play equipment for the kids. Great location made easy access to Mt Gambier.

Nice
We only stayed for one night. We arrive very late after driving all day and left fairly early the next day so didn't get to see the whole park, but the cabin/unit was clean and tidy and generally quite nice. Nothing amazing but suited our needs.

Very nice and friendly
It was a very nice holiday park to stay at. We rang to tell them we would be there late and they were lovely and had no problem with that. The only one thing is that their kids play area needs a little update but that's it over all it was lovely and comfy.

Not what we thought we had paid for
Only stayed one night, traveling through. Advertised free Internet, but was free for a very low amount and only one device could be used at a time, plus signs Was less than poor. Had to purchase more internet usage and walk all over the place to get service. This was not helpful for us, as we had some future days renting that needed to be booked. Two bedrooms very small

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We stayed for a night at their Retreat Cabin, where the sofas were too damaged to sit in, and too darkened to even look at. Another big minus was the quality of the bedding and blanket. The promised FREE Wifi was only for 50MB per room which was simply funny. Kitchen facilities are stained and sticky, and the breakfast basket was really limited. The only good thing was the Blue Lake at its doorstep, but overall a big disappointment for a big franchise.

Wonderful location
The floor of the bath/toilet was quite grubby and the fluorescent light above the door attracted a multitude of small beetles which the screen door was incapable of excluding. We scrunched beetles underfoot all evening. The room provided all facilities for cooking and relaxation.

Enjoyable stay
We only stayed for 1 night while driving from Adelaide to Melbourne. Mount Gambire is about half way between these 2 cities. Our 2 bedroom cabin was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a good night stay. Bedding and towels were all nice and clean. Facilities were accurate and corresponding to park descriptions and photos. Price and quality ratio was good as well. Would recommend to friends.
