Plenty of room for a couple, using only one bedroom.  At this stage of our holiday, it was good to have the use of the washing machine.  Gas heater was a godsend for a couple of frozen Queenslanders a few mornings!  Central location for daytrips to Mt Schank and the coast.  Good breakfast supplies – eggs, bacon cereal, juice, fruit.  Simon was very attentive and phoned to check how we were faring, and to ensure we had all we needed.  Appreciated the opportunity to ‘stay in’ and watch a movie from the DVD collection.  Plenty of character in the building.

Comfy stay in Gambier

We arrived in Mount Gambier when an event was taking place and although I had tried for the previous hour to book something online ... I was struggling. When we  finally got into town, my Uncle and I were both furiously calling places to find a vacancy. My uncle hit the jackpot... and Simon had a cottage available. 

First impressions were that Simon was most obliging and lovely to deal with. We made our way to the house and he gave my uncle directions on how to get into the cottage and instructions for how to access  things in the house. I was able to pay for the accommodation over the phone. 

The cottage is quite charming ... clearly it's been renovated recently. The outside is not going to wow you... the magic happens when you enter the cottage. It's quite inviting  -- they have managed to supply you with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Shortly after arriving we lit a fire to warm the place up and in no time, it was quite warm. 

Simon also supplied my uncle with directions for a nearby eating establishment. My uncle enjoyed the meal there... for me... it's not somewhere I would frequent again. But it was nice that Simon was so forthcoming with local information. 

So... the age old question arises for accommodation... how did we sleep? My uncle was quite pleased that he got the front room as it was closer to the fire in the front room ( God only knows it was too warm for me... :) ) . He said it was the best sleep he had during the two weeks we were away. As for me... I dream of beds like the one I slept in. It was so snuggly and comfortable. This is a place that feels like home. 

The shower was particularly good as well. And if you wanted a cuppa... well thankfully Simon has great taste in tea!! Twinnings English Breakfast! Just what I use day to day at home. 

As you can see , this place is ticking all of the right boxes. So... if you want somewhere to stay that is going to feel like home... it's quiet, you will get a good night's sleep... AND it's really quaint.

Stable Cottage

To be honest, we only booked the bed & breakfast because of the good reviews. Normally we prefer hotels. But we were more than satisfied. Friendly host who gave us the feeling that we would be part of his family. Clean and big rooms. Host prepares the breakfast in front of your eyes. 
If you are not scared to talk to the other guests in the morning (breakfast will be served at one big breakfast table) then this is the right place.
In the evening I can recommend the nice living room at the fireplace.

Fabulous host

I stayed with my 2 young children, 3 and 5. We all had an awesome stay. The cottage had absolutely everything and the wood heater warmed the whole house. Heaps of room, parking areas, outdoor area with BBQ, dishwasher and washing machine and full kitchen with breakfast provided. The best place to stay in Mt Gambier. 

Fantastic Cottage, much better than hotel 

My wife and I stayed here for a very relaxing weekend recently. It is about a 10 minute walk to the blue lake. Simon and Jen were really friendly and great to talk to. They even let us borrow some folding chairs to take to a concert. Brekky was good too. Made us feel right at home. Thanks guys.

Great place to stay and relax

A big house with many rooms. Easy to find property as it is on the main road. The house was clean and interesting. No problem on check in or check out. Breakfast was generally toast, cereal etc -  no problems. A experience.
