"The place is situated on the highest area of Mt. Gambier so we were overlooking the entire town from our room."

"The room was perfect for a family of 3, air conditioning worked very well, nice clean room and bathroom, complimentary bottles of water in the fridge along with milk, tea and coffee, the pool was very nice after a long drive but you do need to leave a $20 deposit which you get back when you return the key, we will definitely be back again on our next trip."

We really enjoyed our stay at this resort spa, nestled on top of a hill overlooking Mt. Gambier. The views from our room were absolutely stunning, especially at night when the town lights twinkled below us. While the rooms could use a little updating, they were spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby Blue Lake. However, the dining options were limited and could use improvement. Overall, it offered good value for money considering the spectacular views.

I generally did not have a great experience at this hotel. While the views from my room were lovely, the cleanliness and maintenance of the room left a lot to be desired. It was particularly disappointing considering the price I paid. The location is quiet and away from traffic, but the overall lack of cleanliness and attention to detail really impacted my stay. I cannot recommend staying here based on my experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the view from the room was absolutely stunning and the room itself was spacious and comfortable, there were definitely some issues that detracted from the overall stay. The bathroom was dated and cleanliness could have been improved, especially in the shower. On the plus side, I found the front desk staff to be very helpful and friendly, making the experience a bit better.

This resort spa offers an unbeatable view perched high above town, making it a lovely spot for relaxation. While my room was spacious and comfortable, it did show signs of wear that detracted from my experience. The staff was friendly, but I felt like they could have been more attentive. Despite the gorgeous location near the Blue Lake, some cleanliness issues and dated features left me wanting more from my stay.

The stay was quite enjoyable overall, thanks to the fantastic views and spacious rooms at this resort. We loved the proximity to the breathtaking Blue Lake, which was just a short walk away. However, some areas like the bathrooms could use a bit of modernization, and the external noise at night was a bit distracting. The friendly staff made the experience more pleasant, but there's room for improvement in some amenities.
