Das Hotel war so freundlich und hat uns ein kostenloses Upgrade ermöglicht. Wir hatten ein traumhaft schönes Zimmer, welches wunderschön und funktional eingerichtet ist. Unser Zimmer war super sauber und sehr geräumig. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Parkmöglichkeiten stehen hinter dem Hotel kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We were extremely happy with our dinner, best chicken Parma, and the chicken kebab was an absolute show stopper! Could not fault a single thing, highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Mount Gambier

We were driving between Melbourne and Adelaide and this was one of the stops in between. The hotel was convenient and the room was a very good size and spotless. 1 star deducted due to the dining experience. You’re supposed to allow the customer to finish their starter before you bring out the main course.

Horrible and noisy! Our room was right outside a giant industrial air conditioner. The noise made it difficult to sleep and our door vibrated. There was no natural light as all windows faced walls! Dark and dismal! Every morning there were people smoking right outside our room. Not fun opening your door to someone else’s smoke! Looks nice in the photos but I’d never stay there again. I left exhausted!

The rooms in this hotel are modern and massive. However, this was let down by the worst check in experience I’ve ever had. They wanted passports, address, email, phone - every piece of detail imaginable for a one night stay. Then they kept my drivers license and credit card for nearly an hour so they could process it all. This needs to improve!! Had dinner in pub and that was nice.
