Presidential Motel

Presidential Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Our room at the Presidential was far beyond our expectations. The room was spacious and very clean, the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is next door to one of the best deli's, butcher, laundromat, hair dresser and Chemist King. Just past this is the Western Tavern. We would stay here again if wanting a bed for the night in Mt Gambier."

The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

8/10 Good
"I had heard about the accommodation on offer at the former Mount Gambier Gaol some years ago and wanted to try it. Finally a spontaneous trip to the area made it possible. Depending on how the site is booked through this site, final payment may be required the day before you arrive. A quick phone call to the hotel sorted this and information required to check in was sent shortly after. If you are after a regular motel room with full facilities rather than a hostel experience, this may not be the best. For an authentic experience of sleeping in an gaol cell, and using shred facilities like a kitchen and shower like the prisoners used to, it is worthhile. You are allowed to explore the facilities and read about the history of the gaol while you stay, which made the limits of the rooms more than worthwhile. Location wise, its an easy walk up the road to the Wulanda gym and convention centre and a quick walk across the former train station area to shopping and dining options."
