The resort offers stunning views from its high position, overlooking the entire town of Mt. Gambier, making the scenery absolutely breathtaking, especially at night. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although a bit dated in style. While the service was friendly, I noticed that the amenities could use some updates, particularly the pool area. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, but be prepared for some noise disturbances during the night.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The views from the room were absolutely breathtaking, and the spaciousness of the room was a real plus. However, I found the bathroom to be rather dated, and the external noise was quite disruptive at night. Overall, the location is fantastic, but there were definitely some maintenance issues that need addressing.

The resort offers a beautiful and quiet location with stunning views, especially from the rooms. Our room was quite spacious and had all the basic amenities for a comfortable stay.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The beautiful views from the room were a highlight, but the cleanliness and overall maintenance left much to be desired. The service was pleasant enough, but the outdated bathrooms and missing amenities took away from the experience. Overall, I enjoyed the location and the view, but I can't say I'd recommend this place without some reservations.
