"This place is perfect for the business traveller. Although parking is a bit of a squeeze, the rooms are spacious, comfy bed, have a great desk to work at, (no freezer in the fridge, though...) and walking distance to everything useful - supermarkets, food, pubs, banks and so on. 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."

"We only stayed for 1 night on the way to Adelaide but the hotel was excellent.
Our room was huge, the food in the hotel was of a high standard and the staff couldn't have done enough to help us."

"Great stay, we will be booking again when in Mt Gambier. A convection microwave would be useful for staying 3-4 nights so we could cook rather than just heat? Excellent otherwise."

This is our second stay at The Barn and once again it didn't disappoint! Accommodation was great and the food amazing, they certainly don't skimp on anything.
We were lucky enough to stay five nights, only one little thing bugged me and that was the room wasn't vacuumed at all and as the weather was wet and miserable we brought a fair bit of debris in on our feet!
Highly recommend a stay here you won't be disappointed.

Stayed 1 night but wish we’d stayed longer. The staff contacted us with checkin details and were met at the property with instructions and help provided by Michael. We stayed in the white room which was very spacious with French doors onto a veranda and a lovely bathroom. Comfortable bed and a 2 seater lounge. Restaurants and shops were a 2 minute walk away. Pity the breakfast wasn’t included as it would make it perfect.

Even thought the world is a little crazy right now, the Commodore provided a little oasis in my travel.
It continues to be one of my go to places in my business travels.
Great restaurant and selection of wines.

Staff were really lovely, reception and restaurant much fancier than I expected for a motor Lodge, let alone one for ~$100 a night which is kinda unheard of these days. Yes the place was built in the 70s or so and the once very fancy built-ins for the bedhead are a little dated... But the room was clean, and warm (no limiter on the AC like so many others) and otherwise well maintained. Would absolutely stay again

We were travelling for work with a young baby and the staff were considerate and moved us to a room that was further away from the road without us asking. They also didn't hesitate to help when we realised we'd forgot toothpaste and happily accommodated us. The meals offered in the restaurant were also fantastic! They were much better than I expected for a motel restaurant and very good value for money. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Mt Gambier! Highly recommend

The room was great, it was 10M long and at least 4M wide plus on suite. It had tall ceilings and felt nice and grand and spacious.
There was a separate kitchen so we could have breakfast when we wanted. Bacon eggs toast and tomatoes supplies. Plus cereals and jams etc.
There was a cycle track along the old railway line a couple of hundred metres from the main road the went from one end of town to the other.
We took bikes but you can get then from the city centre library.

I was working in Mount Gambier for a few of days, so only stayed for a couple of nights - wished I had stayed longer. Friendly, helpful staff. A quiet, comfortable, clean and tidy room with coffee and tea making necessities, biscuits and milk provided in the little bar fridge. It was cold and wet outside both nights, so a quiet, efficient air conditioner ensured a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. Excellent hot shower too with a modern shower head (very important).

Nice clean, relaxing motel. The outside area around the pool will be good when it’s landscaped a bit more but there are plenty of tables and bbqs so it’s easy to spend a lot of time outside.

What is the best area to stay in Square Kilometre?
The best area to stay in Square Kilometre is the Central Business District (CBD), particularly around North Terrace and Rundle Street, as it offers the most convenient access to attractions and amenities.
The CBD is the heart of Square Kilometre, characterised by its grid layout and a mix of historic buildings and modern architecture. North Terrace is a grand boulevard home to many of the city's cultural institutions, while Rundle Street is a bustling pedestrian zone known for its shopping and dining. You'll find a wide array of hotels here, from luxurious options to more boutique stays, all within easy reach of public transport.
For couples looking for a sophisticated and convenient base, the CBD is an excellent choice. You'll be within walking distance of the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, and the beautiful Botanic Garden. Evenings can be spent enjoying a meal at one of the many acclaimed restaurants on Rundle Street or catching a show at the Festival Centre, all just a short stroll from your accommodation.
Business travellers will also find the CBD ideal due to its proximity to corporate offices, conference venues, and transport links.
When is the best time to go to Square Kilometre?
The best time to visit Square Kilometre is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.
During these periods, you'll experience mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with plenty of sunshine and less humidity than the summer months. This makes it ideal for enjoying the outdoor activities and vineyard tours that Square Kilometre is known for. The spring brings blooming wildflowers across the region, while autumn offers beautiful foliage and the excitement of the grape harvest.
For those looking to avoid the peak tourist crowds and potentially find better value on accommodation and experiences, visiting just outside the main school holiday periods within these seasons can be a good strategy.
