3 Bedroom Unit
Perfect for a family of 5, and location was easily accessible to city centre and attractions.
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Recommended. Older couple getaway.
Very nice older style motel with updated amenities inside. Clean and comfortable with lovely service. Pool was heaven after a hot day and was not chlorine but saltwater (yay). Lovely entryway with piano and curved staircase to upper floor. Restaurant on site that caters breakfast as well. We would definitely stay again.

6/10 Good

Spillane come back and beds werr soft as with no s
seen better days both outside and in. walls in corridor were damaged on ground floor. pool looked uninviting. the staff seemed sweet but only there up to 5pm . room change and maid service wasn't done by 4pm so we just asked for towels and nice front reception lady brought us clean towels. towels were old and heavily used. we have some been told by locals to stay at the commodore instead. 1980s vibe. depressing. breakfast on offer for $15 continental. don't even bother

Great hotel, I can’t recommend enough.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A decent enough motel for our one night stay...we arrived after a long drive from Kangaroo Island and decided to dump our bags and have dinner. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly....the food was good as was the wine. Comfortable room, clean and tidy and a decent shower though rather noisy through the night with road noise. Breakfast was ok, nothing special but set us up for the day and both dinner and breakfast were good value for money.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. Motel was close to town. Meals were tasty, generous and well priced.

SHENGNAN, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was blood stains over the quilt and the pillows were so old they were disintegrated. The breakfast was cold and coffee machine was empty and no water and no-one there to speak to, to solve the problem. We went to reception and they said they would report it to the manager, who was the owner. We left them with a business card for the owner to ring me with no luck.
Brian, 1-night trip

A budget motel
We book this motel because the preferred accommodation wasn't available for both nights at Mount Gambier. This one is a budget motel on the main road - good enough for road trip stop-over - you want to spend as little time in the room as possible

Annette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well looked after, the sound from the shower of adjacent room came though.
Darryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely friendly staff on arrival. Location fine and easy parking. Very comfortable beds. Unfortunately the toilet cistern ran non stop (in fairness we didn’t complain and when the door was closed couldn’t hear it) and the shower ran from freezing to scalding hot so that wasn’t great..

6/10 Good

Very noisy, can hear neighbours as if they are in the same room. Bed is extremely comfortable but the room lacks modern touches like a smart Tv.
nathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Huge bathroom. King bed was great. There was a breakfast option, but we went elsewhere. Everything is close by, including a woolworths. Coffee and dinner was very close by. Highly recommend Gourmet Indian restaurant.

Clean and comfortable but very noisy. Could hear every step above us… cars outside our window and laundry facilities across the hall
