"This place is perfect for the business traveller.

This is not a 5 star rated premises (probably 3-4 star rating) but it is 5 star for the price. This will be my first choice in future when in Mount Gambier."

Blue Lake Motel

8/10 Good

"As a budget motel, it's pretty good. It's on the edge of the city, and since I took the bus, it was a bit of a walk to get there. The room is quite small, but the newly renovated bathroom was the main reason I chose to book it. The view from the window was great too. Overall, I was happy with my stay. It could be a little cleaner, though, as the pillows and quilt had a slight smell."

The Commodore

10/10 Excellent

"This property was excellent and the bathroom was new and beautiful - we got a king bed room with a walk in shower plus a separate bathtub bathroom. Central driving to all tourist spots and parking right out the front of our room - Room 53."

Arkana Motor Inn & Terrace Apartments

8/10 Good

"Matress could have been better and the Kitchen need 2 normal Breakfast/Dinner plate NOT bread and butter plate, so we would serve ourselves breakfast and fit it on the plates. The other thing i that the Fridge ha a glas front and is lit up bright. I reckon plenty of people would not like that for their sleep as it light up the whole room. We placed 2 towels over it. Mount Gambier is wonderful."

Golden Chain Tower Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Good location easy to get to everything, friendly staff"

The Old Mount Gambier Gaol

10/10 Excellent

"OK, so it's a real prison. And we were staying off-season, and by chance we were the only guests there that night... and the check-in was all automatic. So the whole thing was kind of surreal as we walked around the prison yard, reading the signs about historic prison life etc. You REALLY get the vibe of being in an old gaol, so don't stay there if you're going to get freaked out by things like that. Beds were comfortable, room had everything we needed, but again remember: prison vibe. On the other hand, if you want a really unique experience, this is for you. It's not just some generic hotel that could be anywhere in the world with no flavor. Met the owner the next morning, and he was a cool guy filled with interesting stories etc. He kind of got screwed over with the collapse in business because of Covid etc, so I know they could really use your support."

Comfort behind Crouch In CBD, newly renovated, perfect for the family & pets

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Racecourse Bay?

The best area to stay in Racecourse Bay is the beachfront strip along Esplanade Road, particularly around the central foreshore.This area is the heart of Racecourse Bay's visitor experience. Esplanade Road runs parallel to the main beach, offering direct access to the sand and sea. You'll find a concentration of boutique hotels and holiday apartments here, many with balconies overlooking the ocean. The foreshore precinct features well-maintained walking paths, picnic areas, and a few casual eateries.For couples seeking a relaxing coastal getaway, this central beachfront location is ideal. You're just steps from the water for morning strolls or a swim, and many accommodations offer stunning sunset views over the bay. The convenience of having dining options within a short walk means you can easily enjoy evenings out without needing to drive.Families will also find the central foreshore area very convenient. The beach here is generally calm and suitable for children, and there are often playgrounds and open spaces nearby for them to enjoy.

When is the best time to go to Racecourse Bay?

The best time to visit Racecourse Bay is generally during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the coastal trails. Families often find these months particularly appealing as the calm waters are great for children, and there are often more local events and activities happening.For those who prefer slightly milder weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are still pleasant, typically between 15°C and 25°C, making it comfortable for walking and sightseeing without the peak summer heat. Solo travellers or couples looking for a more relaxed experience might prefer these times, as the beaches are less busy, and you can still enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
