Hotels near Blue Lake, Mount Gambier

After coming to Melbourne from Melbourne to visit the Great Ocean Road, most people choose to return to Melbourne. We choose to drive all the way to Mount Gambier. There are blue lakes and cave gardens in Gambier. Because there are few tourists in the spring, the hotel stays. Not much. Every room in the hotel has its own parking space, don't worry, the room is relatively large, and the face of the road will not be very noisy. From the town center and the Blue Lake, the cave hotel is about 5-10 minutes drive, eat and There are a lot of gas stations in the town center, and it is convenient to choose this hotel by car.

The hotel was clean and presentable upon arrival. The gentleman that served us at the bookings window was warm and friendly. The shower facilities were amazing and the bed was super comfy. We went to the bistro here at the hotel for dinner and the service I could not fault. Angie was lovely, cheerful and extra apologetic when picking up our plates. Unfortunately the food was below standard. I ordered a medium rare T-bone steak that came out well done and there was no salad dressing on my salad. My mother had the roast Beef. It was so tough and chewy it looked as though it has been boiled and then roasted. The roast was also paired with 2 baby potatoes one half of a carrot and a mountain of frozen beans and corn. I work for the company and at a pub in Adelaide and I'm very disappointed with the food only.

The hotel environment is small and fresh, the room is very large, and the sanitation is very good. Because the staff at the front desk in the evening need to press the Ling to get out, I feel that there are not many people staying in the hotel. It is very convenient to have a supermarket and a gas station. Driving from the Ganbell Blue Lake is ten. minute.

What a remarkable find in a town with a high number of motels to choose from! From the outset the deciding factor to stay here was simple: the heated indoor pool - 5 stars for this alone after some 2 weeks on the road. The added bonus was a finding this gem in Mt Gambier - easy booking system, lovely welcoming staff member, a very comfortable 2 bedroom unit, the most comfortable beds we had slept in, a noise-free night and within a few minutes walk, a great Australian pub - “The South Eastern” offering fantastic food. A fantastic experience all at a modest price!!!

The hotel rooms are clean and well equipped. The hotel restaurant food is delicious, dinner should be reserved early, the opportunity to miss the opportunity because there is no reservation that night, the restaurant is full. Breakfast is not bad. In addition, there are many restaurants, supermarkets, close to Blue Lake and other attractions near the hotel, it is worth recommending.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Colhurst House, a beautiful and charming accommodation conveniently situated near Mount Gambier's city center. The location proved to be ideal, within walking distance of various shops and restaurants. The room itself was pleasant and well-maintained, complete with the added perk of a tea and Nespresso coffee machine. While my overall experience was positive, I regretfully cannot award the hotel a perfect 5-star rating due to some issues encountered during the check-in process. After a long and tiring drive, the anticipation of a seamless check-in was dashed when we arrived and found no one at the reception desk. It turned out that the hotel had tried to contact me earlier, but since I had an international number, they were unable to reach me over the phone. A simple email or phone call (or whatapp number) with check in instructions would have alleviated this situation. Unfortunately, the situation escalated when my email to the hotel went unanswered for more than 30 minutes. Frustrated, I had no choice but to make an expensive international call, which eventually resolved the matter. Thankfully, a kind staff member promptly arrived to assist with the check-in process after the call. Another minor inconvenience was the absence of details regarding the Wi-Fi password in the room. A straightforward sign with this information would have resolved the issue without any hassle. Once again, I resorted to sending an email for the password but, disappointingly, received no response. This forced me to make another call, urgently requesting a reply to my email.

The place had nice views and was nicely spaced out but the shower does leak and on the sheets were so weird yellow dry stuff so I’m lucky I brought my Owen bedding the people there that served us were nice and it’s was Nicky set out some oh the plates and glasses had some marked on them so do yo-yo do stay here make sure you clean the cups and plates before using and to brought you own beding

We had a magnificent time at The Commodore recently. We had a wonderful, spacious room; as well as a very attentive bartender who helped us enjoy and choose a few pre-drink gins from their enormous selection. Dinner was fantastic, be both had amazing steak and sides, and beautiful wine. Breakfast the next morning was also lovely. I would stay here again next time I'm in the Mount, no questions.

The entrance and exterior to this venue was uninspiring. However, the Superior Queen Room was superb! It was in excellent condition, clean and well equipped. The kitchenette had a sink and all washing up gear was provided. There was a good stock of tea and coffee. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch. The shower was great. There were lounge chairs as well as a counter area with bar stools for dining. There were shelves for 2 suitcases. The free Wifi connection was good. Paper and plastic recycling was encouraged. There was a covered BBQ and outdoor eating area. Parking was easy to access. Although situated on a busy road, we heard no traffic noise. A superior room, for sure!

We recently stayed at the Presidential Motel and will never stay there again or recommend anyone stay there again. We checked in on Thursday, 24th February 2022 to a lady who was very rude. She advised me as I was booking in that they would be charging me a $200.00 pre-authorisation damages fee that would cover any damages to the room. I asked her why this was the case and she advised that it was standard through booking.com and booking.com charged this on all booking.com bookings. I advised her that I used booking.com on all my bookings and have never been charged a damages fee. She was quite rude and ended up charging me $150.00 after admitting that it was the hotels preference to charge customers a damages fee not booking.com. I want to the room with friends to put my luggage away. 2 cleaners were cleaning the room beside my room. They asked me if I was booking into the room that they were cleaning and advised them that I was booking into Room 48. 1 of the cleaners advised that she would do a check of the room to see if it was ready to be booked. She unlocked the room and went inside to do a check. She advised me that the fridge had to be stocked. I asked her if I could take some blankets as it was cold and she said yes. She showed me the cupboards where the blankets were and I removed 2 blankets from the cupboard that was encased in white bags. These bags were carried out to the boot of my car. The door closed behind me and I thought I had left the swipe card in the room. I asked the cleaner could she unlock the room for me, which she did. The cleaner then went back to the room next door to finish her cleaning. (Approval of using the blankets were witnessed by 4 people that were with me). On Friday, 25th February 2022 I received a missed call from 08 8724 9966 at 12:24 pm. I returned this call and was greeted by a man advising that he was the manager of the Presidential Motel and had been advised by his cleaner that the blankets had not been returned to the room. I advised him that the blankets were still in the car as I grabbed them because my kids were cold. He asked where I was and I told him that I was at the speedway. He spat the dummy stating that they could not be at the speedway and had to be returned to the motel so they wouldn’t get dirty. I told him that they wouldn’t get dirty because we were parked in the pits and the blankets were kept in the car for the kids to use. He said that they would get grease etc on them because we were at the speedway. I again advised him that this wouldn’t be the case because they were in the car. Our kids were racing go karts, which doesn’t have grease etc like the cars would. I told him that I would return the blankets to the room and told him I had to go. I then hung up the phone. On Friday, 25th February 2022 when we returned to the room it was late and I forgot to remove the blankets from the boot (that had still not been used and were still in the white bags). We we
