"This place is perfect for the business traveller.

This is not a 5 star rated premises (probably 3-4 star rating) but it is 5 star for the price. This will be my first choice in future when in Mount Gambier."

The Commodore

10/10 Excellent

"This property was excellent and the bathroom was new and beautiful - we got a king bed room with a walk in shower plus a separate bathtub bathroom. Central driving to all tourist spots and parking right out the front of our room - Room 53."

Arkana Motor Inn & Terrace Apartments

8/10 Good

"Matress could have been better and the Kitchen need 2 normal Breakfast/Dinner plate NOT bread and butter plate, so we would serve ourselves breakfast and fit it on the plates. The other thing i that the Fridge ha a glas front and is lit up bright. I reckon plenty of people would not like that for their sleep as it light up the whole room. We placed 2 towels over it. Mount Gambier is wonderful."

The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

10/10 Excellent

"OK, so it's a real prison. And we were staying off-season, and by chance we were the only guests there that night... and the check-in was all automatic. So the whole thing was kind of surreal as we walked around the prison yard, reading the signs about historic prison life etc. You REALLY get the vibe of being in an old gaol, so don't stay there if you're going to get freaked out by things like that. Beds were comfortable, room had everything we needed, but again remember: prison vibe. On the other hand, if you want a really unique experience, this is for you. It's not just some generic hotel that could be anywhere in the world with no flavor. Met the owner the next morning, and he was a cool guy filled with interesting stories etc. He kind of got screwed over with the collapse in business because of Covid etc, so I know they could really use your support."
