Mount Gambier hotellia

Plussat: Facilities and location

Miinukset: Should’ve not mention free breakfast

Plussat: Spacious room, gorgeous courtyard and convenient access to everything.

Plussat: I doubt there's a property for rent in Port Macdonnell that offers a higher standard of accommodation. Centrally located, the house boasts a Victorian elegance and style that makes your stay an experience to remember.

Plussat: The location is good. The room looks pretty .

Miinukset: The restroom is downstairs. The two bedroom at level 1. It is not convenient especially in the evening feel scary. All the windows cannot open. Very hard to breath. The mattress is too soft. I received an email on the day I arrive this property, instead of warm welcome, it listed all the rules living inside. As strict as rent a property from real estate agent. To be fair, it should be list in booking before people decide to book it.

Plussat: loved the history great set up and excellent location. Highly recommended

Plussat: Great location fantastic host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Had a lovely stay at the family room. Very big and generous rooms for 6 people.

Plussat: Beautiful Gardens well maintained property

Miinukset: Pics on net are very misleading the room we were given was disappointing down the back in older accommodation Noise from next unit could hear people talking and crying baby even when inside and there’s and our door closed No outside door leading to garden only table and chairs looking at where you park your car Very dated unit curtains need replacing

Plussat: Loved it. We will use it again.

Plussat: The location was beautiful and the breakfast delicious

Plussat: The surrounding Gardens Very Nice.

Miinukset: Most Uncomfortable Bed ever. Not happy with ending up in the 'original' accommodation when all the information & photos depict otherwise !!! More transparency is needed so as everyone KNOWS exactly what they are getting for what they are paying. Too expensive ($170.00 per night) for what we ended up with !

Plussat: Gardens Everything on hand you need

Miinukset: Mouse poo in kitchen in morning No reception after hours. The people next to us had left their car light on and as it was 11pm when we noticed we didn’t want to disturb them but when we rang reception it was unattended

Plussat: This stay definitely had a story that came with it (being a retired jail) Staff was very helpful in giving directions to attractions around town (Sink Hole and Blue Lake) Kitchens were well equipped for dinner and breakfast Fantastic break while doing the great ocean road- quaint town with anything you would need

Miinukset: The location was not the most walking-friendly to shops or attractions Wifi was slow and only available in 1 room There weren't many other guests, so things were a little quiet on a Wednesday night

Plussat: Such a warm welcome, what a lovely family! From the call in the afternoon to make sure everything was okay, to the entrance of the hotel, that warm welcome once we were in and the beautiful places around the area. Everything was there, we enjoyed our stay so much. We would highly recommend it and definitely coming back one day. Thank you so much!

Plussat: Located off a side street at the top of the town.Obviously a quirky place, being a former gaol! Spotlessly clean and comfortable for our family of 4 in the two bedroom 'cell 27' Staff were very friendly and provided us with a map of the town with recommendations to eat out and local information We presumed ( and didn't ask before or after booking ) that there would be air conditioning and with the temperature exceeding 45° on the day we arrived, it was a hot one but all the blinds had been closed in the room and a fan left for us which did work and cooked the space down. The temperature did drop dramatically over night so it was far more comfortable than when we checked in, but the fan was a very welcome addition! There was a large dining table outside our room in a covered area, which made a great social space as well as a small table for 4 inside our room. The open plan living, kitchen and dining area was comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely recommend.

Miinukset: No air conditioning! We were there in December during a heatwave, but staff did their best to make the rooms cool!

Plussat: Very clean The facilities have everything we need Unique experience to stay in the prison and sleep on bunk bed

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The accommodation was brilliant, and to wonder around the old Gaol was something special. The staff was also brilliant

Plussat: Unique place - staying in prison cells with basic facilities. Good facilities in kitchen for breakfast. Very enjoyable. Good change to meet other people in kitchen.

Miinukset: The electric heating is v stuffy - but no other option on cold nights

Plussat: Incredibly relaxed, clean and cosy feeling. The place feels like a home instead of a former prison.

Miinukset: Although I assumed sleeping in a former cell would be creepy, it actually wasn't!

Plussat: Pool

Miinukset: Limited supply of milk.

Plussat: The room was clean and modern. Very comfortable bed. The hotel had a nice pool area.

Miinukset: The room only had one small sink so you were forced to wash dishes and brush your teeth in the same place.

Plussat: Very spacious room for 4 adults.

Miinukset: Could of done with an update in decor. Haven't experienced sheets and blankets in years, and would have preferred duvets!

Plussat: Good

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: Clean and quiet. Lovely people that own it.

Miinukset: Not enough car parks and difficult to get out

Plussat: Last time we stayed here I lost a silver charm during our trip. When I asked at reception they had it for me,

Plussat: Clean rooms, friendly staff, great location within walking distance to shops Main Street . Value for money is excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I liked the location, beautiful cottage in a beautiful garden setting. Liked the complimentary breakfast. not in the centrum of town for peace and quiet, yet conveniently close to all attractions of Mount Gambier and surrounds.

Plussat: Stayed in the Studio Chalet which was comfortable & clean. Breakfast provisions provided.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the Wifi didn’t work very well at all

Plussat: The size of the garden apartment - plenty of room to spread out and relax. Views to the lovely gardens from every room

Plussat: Lovely grounds and location. Staff delightful, facilities older but clean and well presented. Wonderful country retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

Plussat: Beautiful property. Nice and secluded. Plenty of birds to keep you company. Only a short drive to Mount Gambier. Everything you needed was there.

Plussat: Great location friendly staff

Plussat: Excellent location and really enjoyed our stay, will be back

Miinukset: The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, suggest replacing. The springs dug into you. Try pulling it out and laying on it and you’ll see what I mean.

Plussat: Nice lovely units, comfortable, clean and with all necessary equipment.

Miinukset: The sofa bed for the 5th and 6th guests in the unit is not very comfortable.

Plussat: Super friendly staff, great breakfast, lovely room. We will definitely come back.

Miinukset: Only point of complaint might be that there is no air conditioning in the rooms on the upper floor.

Plussat: We stayed in the little cottage and it was nice to have some space to ourselves. Simon was really welcoming on arrival and told us everything we needed to know about our stay. He’d left bacon and eggs and bread and milk and there were plenty of miscellaneous items you could use, we watched the dvds after our evening meal out, a little bit of home from home.

Miinukset: Didn’t realise the cottage wasn’t on site when I booked it, probably an oversight on my part, not a problem though, just would have been nice to come down to a cooked breakfast

Plussat: Interesting historical background. Comfortable beds and adequate living areas and bathroom.

Miinukset: Surrounds lacked a garden which would have enhanced the cottage. No wifi

Plussat: Lovely old house quirky and full of character Nice comfortable bed and big room Big bathroom Lots of seating areas Off street secure parking Fantastic location walked to everything Simon our host was a good source of information where to go, what to see etc We had the place to ourselves which was amazing Plenty of breakfast food supplied plus big bowl of fruit & tea / coffee supplied plus a complimentary glass of port!!

Plussat: The house is close to the town centre and the Blue Lake and suited us for what we needed. The ambiance of the house is lovely and the features are beautiful. The hosts were very friendly and discreet and made us feel very welcome in their home. The cooked breakfast was delicious the next morning and very relaxing sitting and chatting with our hosts.

Miinukset: A heater in the bathroom would be a nice touch on chilly mornings. It was a shame we only had one night to enjoy this beautiful property.

Plussat: Great cottage beautifully renovated felt like home

Plussat: Comfortable beds.

Miinukset: Breakfast cereal and bread appeared left by previous occupants and was past use-by date. Egg box had September date in January. Could be a bit cleaner.

Plussat: The bed is comfy! Breakfast exceeds expectations! Feel like home! Simon is very hospitable. Great experience.

Plussat: The room was a good size for a family room and having a separate bedroom for the children was a bonus. The motel is comfortable but starting to look a little dated.

Miinukset: Parking was available but very tight where our room was.

Plussat: Rooms were very clean and tidy

Miinukset: Wifi did not work

Plussat: It was good experience, friendly staff and clean place .

Miinukset: I think may be should have foxtel and restaurants facility.

Miinukset: Mattress too soft, no water pressure in the shower, water not hot enough. No carpark close to our room. Could hear people talking next door. Truck out the front that had refrigerator on it so motor running on & off all night.

Plussat: Room was little dated but in good condition and clean , good enough for shower /quick rest if your travelling

Miinukset: Toilet was gurgling like a dragon made it hard to sleep. Would be nice to provide milk so you can have coffee in the morning it’s a basic thing .

Plussat: The staff willingly accommodated a late change in bookings due to family reasons.

Plussat: Nice big rooms, Clean with comfortable bed. very close to the town center.

Miinukset: Rooms too small for a family.

Plussat: Nice friendly staff good location very good prices

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The room is in a good size for 3 people. It is clean although dated. Beds are comfortable. It also provides extra blankets and pillows. WiFi signal is very good. Shower is hot and with good pressure. Location(city east) is easy access to major tourist destinations, shopping area, cafes and restaurants. Our room has a mountain view which is very good for our 5 day stay. We requested a room with no stair access due to our limitations. We did not use a shared kitchen, still it's good to have one available.

Miinukset: Nothing (with this given price).

Plussat: Great location, near to most attractions, large free car park. Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fantastic price. Great for travellers with a communal kitchen.

Plussat: The family room was fantastic. Two bathrooms and the overall amount of space great. The service was friendly with lots of advice of the attractions to visit.

Miinukset: Everything.

Plussat: View over the park very nice. Kitchenette very handy.

Miinukset: I would have liked less mini bar and more room in the fridge.

Plussat: Easy and user friendly

Miinukset: The pay later option is confusing (my first time using it). My booking got cancelled due to late payment dateline (away with no reception and didnt get the email warning until too late). Lucky the room was still available and i could re booked it again.

Plussat: Central location

Miinukset: The house was not cleaned properly. There were cobwebs and a spider in the bathroom and cobwebs under the handbasin stand. In the bedroom next to the bathroom no one had cleaned under the bed and there was dust on the skirting boards. The shower flooded out past the toilet and into the handbasin area. The check in reception off hand and forgot to give us the both the wifi information and milk. The food in the restaurant was very good but we had finished our entree before we had to ask for the wine we had ordered. Then asked did we want to pour it ourselves. What!Never in 40 years of eating in restaurants have I been asked that.

Plussat: Location good. Quiet. nice bathroom

Miinukset: Tv too small

Plussat: Good location. Walk to main street.

Miinukset: Very noisy AC - woke up when thermostat switched on or off. Truck noise from engine brakes.

Miinukset: rubbish bin not emptied from previous guest! kettle very old, had to ask for new one. no tissue box, had to ask. aircon was very noisy!

Plussat: Good location, easily accessible, free parking, comfortable bed, fridge

Miinukset: Has two entrances to the room with no explanation as to who has access. As a solo traveller it was a bit concerning but I made sure the chain lock was on. Could’ve been cleaner but was fine for an overnight stay. Hotel had limited gluten free options so I had to go elsewhere for dinner & breakfast. After a long drive it would’ve been nice to have food closer.

Plussat: The room was very spacious with 2 comfortable double beds for just the two of us. There was also a fridge, kettle and tv. The parking was free and the car park was really big so plenty of space. It was right in the centre of town although the town was very small you were within walking distance to everything. The staff were friendly. If you ate at the hotel you were given 20% off as a guest.

Miinukset: It was a little confusing about how to check in. The hotel was attached to the pub so you had to go into the pub and then they took you to a separate check in area. We stayed on a Monday when every restaurant in town apart from the hotel , dominoes and McDonald’s was closed so not a lot of choice for eating. The front door wouldn’t lock from the outside so we had to always leave via the back door.

Plussat: Staff were helpful. Room was great for the price, Clean towels, clean comfortable bed Coffee supplied ….and remembering this is a room at a Pub it was Value for money...Big Room, two queen beds TV

Miinukset: Walls are a bit thin...next door got a bit loud after a few beers. The Hot water runs out waaay to quickly...so jump in, soap up and jump out...almost no time to rinse off :-) Needs a soap holder in the shower....As I'm tall I Found what the cleaners probably couldn't see, the hidden used soap on the top of the shower doors and even on top of the shower head

Plussat: I was very late yet at 12. am plus . Could not open the safe that held the key. Yet there was someone who took my phone call. I forgot your name,Sorry. But my parnter/staff said it the most memorable stay. You beauty. Parking was awesome. Free and plentyful

Miinukset: The key locker was built in the 19th century and be stored in a musuem

Plussat: Bed was comfy

Miinukset: The price

Plussat: Comfy bed

Miinukset: Stuck in the seventies. Desperately need a upgrade. Fan in bathroom did not work and was not fixed after reporting it faulty. Basin full of cracks. No microwave or clock. Filthy showerhead.

Plussat: Very clean

Plussat: The modern and up to date furniture and facilities. The door out to the courtyard and pool area. The beds were very comfortable.

Miinukset: I had a young family and another family arrived at the motel late and were quite loud as the walls are quite thin.

Miinukset: Pool area looked like it needed some love.

Plussat: The bed was good and room was clean.

Miinukset: The bathroom, very poor lighting and fan linked to heat lamps totally no good in warm weather. Also no toiletries it was a dispenser and the basin one was broken. The room was very warm when I arrived and the Airconditioning very old so it took quite a while to cool down. Whilst the venue promotes “fully renovated” rooms they have not been thought through properly so they are not as good as they could be.

Plussat: The beds were both pillow top chiropractor recommended...very comfortable. Fantastic rain shower. The room was very nice and clean.

Miinukset: The highway is noisy.

Miinukset: My partner and I have stayed at the Golden Chain Motor Inn on numerous occasions. This was our least pleasant trip. We needed to cancel our final night and requested to receive our money back or negotiate to use the final night for another time. The front desk man whom we spoke to would not allow us to negotiate or consider reimbursement of monies. It was disappointing. We won't be staying there again.

Miinukset: The advertising photos were not anything like the actual size or standard. It was very disappointing, despite the nice managers.

Plussat: excellent outdoor sitting and kitchen

Miinukset: rooms are a bit run down and dated, not like the pix on booking, matress a bit saggy

Plussat: Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Noisy and bathroom had no exhaust fan.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Old style

Plussat: all was perfect

Plussat: Everything was OK in the room

Miinukset: Bit far to walk from town up a steep hill

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Air conditioning was inadequate until we cleaned the filter

Plussat: perfect spot for a stopover on our getaway... the walk to the lookout behind property was amazing
