We loved our stay at the Old Mount Gambier Gaol. The building is beautiful and full of character, the atmosphere is friendly and our kids loved exploring the grounds and making chalk drawings in the yard. The family room was comfortable and had everything we needed. James was incredibly helpful and even posted our lost toys back to Melbourne :) We will definitely stay again if we're in the area.

The buildings have been converted with great attention to detail and respect for the history of the place. Our room (old cell) was simply furnished but comfortable, with en-suite toilet. Mel and James have created a very attractive and cozy communal lounge room together with a very well equipped kitchen. Nice touches everywhere. Everything was clean and well thought out.

Very good rating for the quirky experience. Obviously it’s a jail (can’t believe prisoners were in those conditions until as recently as 1995) so it’s not spacious or luxurious but we were doing it as something different and it works well at that. Other people we met were happy and fascinated at it all.

Awesome place to stay would highly recommend. What a great idea turning a prison into accommodation for the public.

Fantastic unique property. More supportive mattresses and more power points would be nice, but a great short stay.

What an amazing and quirky place to stay. And what amazing hosts. James and Mel had to go away during the week we were booked to stay for a night but honoured our booking and we stayed and had the whole place to ourselves. It was amazing and so comfortable. It has a lovely feel to it. It’s a bit like a hostel so don’t book if you like your luxury. However, that said, we loved it and would recommend to anyone staying for a night or two in Mount Gambier. A unique and interesting experience. Must do it at least once.
