Room was lovely, wonderfully remodelled very recently and in great condition, with good amenities. Road noise was a big problem in the front room, exterior is very average and the restaurant was closed, evidently for a while. Staff were nice and accommodating.

The room is clean, new, & modern and the property is within 20 minutes drive to most scenic spots and couple of minutes to Mt Gambier centre. The room I was assigned to was at the rear end corner so parking was initially confusing but was later resolved by the helpful front desk clerk. I also appreciate that Western tavern’s only 5 minutes walk away!
