Terrible service. I stayed for 3 days. No one came for room service despite asking them. I asked for clean towels but no one came and replaced them. Pool was enjoyable, had lots of fun. Overall average stay.

Last minute decision to stay in Mt.Gambier instead of driving on down the road a bit further, but there was something on in town and not many Hotels left too choose from. Nice big rooms though, parking was a bit tight. Would stay again :)

Disliked: Staff & service
Receptionist was very disengaged, and displayed horrible customer service. halfway through checking in he gets a call and begins to take details for a payment from another customer while I stand there blank. Then proceeds to tell me he is unable to provide a tax invoice and that is the responsibility of this app, which I knew was un true. Lastly, he suggests “on the system” it is showing the room for a $50 higher price after having had agreed upon a price a minute earlier. On top of that TV did not work which i failed to raise that issue with hosts as i assumed he would dodge that responsibility as well.

Place was spacious and clean. However WiFi reception was weak and at times we couldn’t even receive any signal. Asked for 2 card keys but one key mysteriously stopped working a few hours later. The same incident happened again overnight and we had to go to the recep again to have it reset a second time. Noted too that we stayed 2 nights but no housekeeping was done ok the 2nd day. No major complaints but not a ‘wow’ experience either.

For two people the room was huge, however it was over priced and be careful when you book as price was quoted in US$ so cost around AU$200. Wouldn't stay there again as it wasn't worth the price and was also upstairs which was a problem when you have a walking problem.
