Mount Gambier Hotel
Pet-friendly rooms two kilometres from Blue Lake
About this stay
Families and travellers with a dog both work here, which is an unusual combination in Mount Gambier and the reason this hotel keeps turning up on Limestone Coast itineraries. Pets are allowed, family rooms are available, and the whole thing sits two kilometres from Blue Lake and eight from Mount Gambier Airport, close enough to Commercial Street to leave the car parked and walk to the shops. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, a tea and coffee maker, minibar, work desk, refrigerator and free toiletries. The on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner with vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free options, and there is a bar and a casino alongside. Electric vehicle charging, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, room service and free on-site parking round it out.

Our take
This is the strongest central option for anyone driving with a dog, since the pet policy comes with a walkable position rather than a site out of town. The kitchen covering vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets is a genuine advantage in a regional South Australian town. Guests looking for a quiet, character stay should note the bar and casino downstairs, and consider the gaol or the lakeside inn instead.
- ✓Confirm the pet terms when booking, since size limits and how many animals per room are worth settling before the drive.
- ✓Use the electric vehicle charger overnight if you are driving one, because charging options thin out badly on the Princes Highway either side of town.
- ✓Tell the restaurant about dietary needs when you book, as the kitchen covers vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free.
