Ok, I'm biased but this hotel is pretty goddamn amazing…read more Rooms - large, airy and historic. I don't think they're accessible to folks with disabilities though. Very clean, very comfy. Food - we ate dinner and breakfast here. Both were honestly really good - pub classic food done well. There were some ill behaved kids screaming like banshees but not the hotel's fault. Staff - uniformly pleasant! Other customers - really friendly! Entertainment - so like most hotels/pubs, expect a small gaming room. This one had maybe 12-15 machines. I won a bit, I lost a bit and then the gaming gods smiled upon me with a major $2400 bonus. $$$$$$ - five stars!

This pub is by far my favourite pub in Mount Gambeir, and that was pretty evident when I walked in…read morethrough the door, went up to the bar and discovered a great selection of beers on tap. In fact, I ended up making my way back here a couple of times, namely to get my daily fix of good craft beers, of which they had plenty. The atmosphere is also pretty good, and they seem to have put of lot of effort into making this pub a great place for the young, and young at heart. Oh, and the service was also really friendly and warm as well. This is certainly one of those pubs that I would frequent regularly if I happen to be down in the area.

The only thing about this pub that sits in my mind was the friendly staff. However, that is pretty…read moremuch it when it comes to this pub because beyond that there is nothing all that much that will draw me back here, even though it does happen to be located quite a distance away from where I tend to travel. In a way this is mainly one of those highway pubs, namely a pub located out in the country that happens to be on a main highway. I guess that is why it tended to be friendlier than some. However, beyond that, there is nothing about this pub that really stands out in my mind.

From the owner: The Old Mount Gambier Gaol is a business like no other! The building was erected in 1866 and…read moredesigned to be used as an 'Old English Gaol'. It operated as a prison until 1995.

We are well reviewed on trip advisor and are quickly building a reputation for our cleanliness, value for money and our friendly and helpful staff. Our unusual building becomes an amazing venue.

We would love to show you what we have done to the place!

Not so much a b&b as a straight up set of serviced apartments in a restored 19th C mansion…read more The room are, very comfortable, unique and full of charm. Kind of makes you want to spend the day inside with a book rather than getting back out onto the road. The management had no problems with our late arrival (around 11:30pm) and provided good instructions on how to pick up keys and settle in. Very much recommended.

Well, while this wasn't one of those pubs that stood out particularly all that much, as a pub it…read morewas still actually rather nice. In fact, as a pub I thought that it was rather cool. The staff were quite friendly and helpful, though the beer selection really wasn't all that great. In a way it did feel a bit like a standard suburban pub, but one that happened to have been around for a while. Yeah, this pub was actually okay, though certainly not a favourite.
