Motel Mount Gambier

Mount Gambier is the second most populated city in South Australia, with a population of 26,878 as of the 2021 census. The city is located on the slopes of Mount Gambier, a dormant volcano in the south east of the state, about 450 kilometres (280 mi) south-east of the capital Adelaide and just 17 kilometres (11 mi) from the Victorian border. Mount Gambier is the most important settlement in the Limestone Coast region and the seat of government for both the City of Mount Gambier and the District Council of Grant.

One of the most striking features of Mount Gambier is the Blue Lake, a stunning crater lake that changes colour throughout the year. In the summer months, the lake turns a deep blue, while in the winter it transforms into a greyish colour. The lake is surrounded by walking trails and lookout points that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with friends and family.

For those seeking a bit of adventure, Mount Gambier has plenty of options to choose from. The Umpherston Sinkhole is a unique attraction that was once a limestone cave that has since collapsed, creating a beautiful sunken garden filled with lush greenery and a variety of plant species. You can also explore the Tantanoola Caves, a series of underground limestone caves filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites.
