Amazing staff, comfortable rooms and great food in the bistro.
Pros:

Rooms were amazing. Very spacious, modern, comfortable and had all you needed. And the staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful!

Cons:

The shower took a long time to heat up and the water stuttered from time to time. The shower head was also extremely high up and the shower head itself didn’t provide enough pressure so it was very hard to rinse my hair properly. Also the night we stayed there were works happening in the roof-drilling, loud voices-from about midnight for hours. We had an early start and a drive back to Melbourne the next day so due to this we didn’t have a restful night.

Central location, clean rooms and comfortable bed.
Pros:

Great location in central Mt Gambier. Easy parking and instructions to access keycard were very clear (we arrived on Good Friday). Small room as expected but the bathroom was updated and a very decent size.

Cons:

The walls were very thin and could hear snoring from a few rooms away. I imagine the noise from the pub downstairs would be easily heard (pub closed during our stay).
