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."

Arkana Motor Inn & Terrace Apartments

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."
