“WONDERFUL MOTEL”

Stayed at the Southgate recently. Room was spacious and clean. All amenities there for our comfort. Recently renovated and very comfortable. Had the best sleep in comfortable beds. Highly recommend this stay. Service front desk staff the best. Polite and friendly. Room service used and meals were restaurant standard. Recommend the desserts 😊 All the best during these hard times. No traffic noise!

“BEAUTIFUL MT. GAMBIER”

Motel is close to all restaurants and rooms are spacey, clean and comfortable. Sue saved us from disaster after we left a laptop behind and headed for Adelaide. Honestly was much appreciated. Town is lovely with many wonderful sights to see. Can’t beat Blue Lake.

“VERY COMFORTABLE STAY”

Efficient booking process on line, at check in and check out. Spacious refurbished room, very clean and well set out. Comfortable king size bed, with choice of blanket or quilt. Appreciated the small self catering touches to make breakfast on the go. Good parking available and we were not disturbed by noise from patrons or vehicles. Planning to stay again.

“GREAT LOCATION”

Nice hotel, large room, very clean, friendly staff and in a good location - not far from the Blue Lake and Umpherston Sinkhole (beautiful sunken garden) - definitely recommend and would stay here again.

“GOOD PLACE TO STAY”

Stayed for one night on a little south coast of Australia trip. It’s more a hotel than a motel. My room was upstairs, no parking outside the room., plenty of spaces in the car park in all fairness. Helpful friendly welcome, the clocks behind reception were very useful to remind me that SA is in a different time zone to Victoria. Lift was reliable, room was excellent with an extremely comfy bed, probably the best on my 6 week trip, fast wifi, generous tea and coffee supplies and a smart very modern bathroom. It’s a fine place to stay.
