What an amazing place to stay. We stayed in the Policeman's Residence and found it to be a great balance of modern while keeping historical aspects of the place. The view to the old cells just outside our kitchen window was a great addition. The place is spacious and very clean. The beds are so comfortable (I need to track down those mattresses for myself!) and the hosts Emma and Grant are extremely friendly. A very special place and we can't wait to get back down there to try the Post Office Apartment. Highly recommended :)
The Barn Hotel and Steak 🥩 house is around 10 Minutes out of Mount Gambier town, we arrived there from Port Fairy and had booked a 1 bed room / suite. We choose to stay here on our Road trip for 1 night, and also eat at the barn steak restaurant, as apparently the food is to die for. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who explained where our room was and how to get to it, a couple of minutes drive away to a row of converted barns. The terraced apartment was very spacious, clean and fresh, it had all we needed for a short stay, very comfortable bed, ample room, a medium size fridge. Free parking was right outside. The bathroom comprised of both bath and walk in rain shower with ample toiletries. Outside was a small garden area with seating. Back in the main building there was a small comfortable bar area which lead on to the restaurant. The menu is dominated with various steak 🥩 dish’s, we choose to avoid starters as looking at the plates of the other dinners we certainly wouldn’t have done justice to the main meal. This came up excellently presented, the steak 🥩 I had was probably the best I had ever eaten. It’s not cheap, nor is it too expensive either compared to the food dished up in the UK. If I lived within 50 miles of this place it would most definitely be a restaurant I would frequent at least once a month.
