For two people the room was huge, however it was over priced and be careful when you book as price was quoted in US$ so cost around AU$200. Wouldn't stay there again as it wasn't worth the price and was also upstairs which was a problem when you have a walking problem.

Comfortable stay

Friendly efficient checkin and a decent room. Expansive windows which open to allow fresh air. Limited shelf space to unpack. Sink area outside the bathroom had no place for toiletries and other items. Bed was very comfy though with excellent quality sheets. Wine fridge provided a ever present floodlight in the room. Nice pool on the grounds.

Our appartment was everything we needed, having the ability to wash our baby’s dirty clothes and even dry them was just amazing after holidaying in Adelaide and having to find laundry mats it just took the pressure off and allowed us to enjoy our time in Mount Gambia. The rooms were a great size and had everything we needed to be self sufficient. The beds were relatively comfortable and just loved our stay will be booking again and recommending them when we go visit family !!

Don’t let the outside of the property fool you! Once inside…. Huge room. Spotlessly clean. Good heating/aircon. Very comfortable bed. Very clean bed linen. Modern fixtures and fittings. Same goes for bathroom. Modern, spotlessly clean. Everything worked. Will definitely stay here again if I’m in Mount Gambier.
