Motel is easy to find and well sign posted. On a main road but very little road noise at night. Large room, well appointed with a desk and comfy chairs to sit and relax. Bed is on the small side and a little soft for my liking but my husband slept well. I like the sealed tub with all the crockery and cutlery and biscuits. Shower pressure was good and lots of hot water. Motel was fully booked both nights we were there. Being pet friendly is a big bonus especially so many people are travelling with their pets now.

Loved the quiet air cond. Kept the room warm in very cool conditions. Staff had room pre-warmed on arrival which was greatly appreciated. Motel was very full but couldn't hear other guests or the use of facilities. Was much better than I expected for the price. Had desk and even an office chair. I was in Mt Gambier supporting someone in hospital. This was the perfect home base so close to hospital.

Bathroom reminded me of home ... could do with an upgrade, but plenty of hot water and good shower.

Lovely owners and can tell family orientated and cultural. Always felt home away from home and highlight is the room itself, very spacious so when travelling with children and its cold out there’s room for the little ones to stretch and play while Netflix free for guests is on or YouTube etc chilling having a cuppa and the traffic noise is quiet mostly. Not far from city centre even if you walked. Beautiful stay regardless of your budget. Peace and calmness overall.

We were travelling with our Border Collie and it isn’t easy to find appropriate accommodation. Mount Gambia Motel provided us with a big room, every amenity we could have needed, and at a very reasonable price. The motel is old but the room was clean and comfortable. There is a big lawn at the back, a pool, trampoline and clothesline. I really couldn’t fault it. We will certainly go again.

There was nothing to dislike.

The bed was a surprise -mustve been kingsize Exceptional softness - Parking is off-road and in front of your door! Rooms extremely spacious with leather couch that obviously would fold out into double bed Extra generous portions of teabags and coffees Especially being Lipton tea and Nescafe and moccona coffee

Bad tv reception -bit ok if travelling with Netflix

The location was convenient, not too far from town, and the amenities were great. The grass strip out front was perfect for our dog, making it a great pet-friendly option. The room was clean and tidy, and the reception was friendly. The bed was the most comfortable we’ve had on our two-week trip.

Nothing to fault. We had a great stay.

room well laid out, queen bed very comfortable & well positioned in room, comfy couch, good tea facilities, bathroom fine, staff very welcoming, friendly & helpful

Shaded area within pool enclosure would be a bonus, maybe a shaded, sitting area with chairs/table to enjoy more of the outdoor grassy area.

Dog friendly and clean

The pool area was just awful. No shade at all broken chairs and fence. It is basically a whole at the end of the carpark. It has a grassy area around the outside with a broken trampoline but, the place is dog friendly so, why not add a fence across the front of the grassed area for dog play. It could be so much better with just a little effort .

Good location. Linen Good. Tea and Coffee facilities good

Room needs updating, floors curtains, bathroom. Limit dog access, our room had dog damage to doors. Used by visiting workers, as seen by vehicles therefore a lot of 2.30am activity. No nice outdoor seating or tables even closer to pool. You do get what you pay for.

Spacious room for 2pp, with sofa and coffee table. Not far from city centre.

Soundproof issue. whenever next room turn on tap water or shower, we know. Because very loud. Water temperature issue during shower, hot a while, cold a while, hot cold hot cold. Not comfortable. Second person did not encounter water temperature issue. Could be timing issue.
