The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

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."

"This place is perfect for the business traveller. Although parking is a bit of a squeeze, the rooms are spacious, comfy bed, have a great desk to work at, (no freezer in the fridge, though...) and walking distance to everything useful - supermarkets, food, pubs, banks and so on. 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."
