Beautiful property, for the rural area of Sth Australia 4 star but expensive. I say this because the package purchased was not delivered. I emailed the property directly regarding this and no reply. Our suite was gorgeous and a breakfast hamper was to be included. 8 am was our requested delivery as we had a big drive ahead. We waited until 8.45am … still nothing, so departed on our trip. Major issue here is that I left enough time before emailing them direct, for it to be recognised of this shortfall. I then after 3 hours post departure emailed the main email that they have been prompt communicators on. As at now 6.30pm no response nor recognition … disappointing overall, the small things matter!

Mt Gambier great spot to visit
What an absolutely fabulous property. We stayed in the Frew Suit it was exceptional! Only criticism was bed could have been firmer but as ours was a 1 night stay not really a problem. The area is great for lots of interesting explorations and a great stop on the way from Melbourne to Adelaide. Would definitely recommend it will not disappoint.

The property is magnificent. Has a great location, beautiful surroundings and fantastic atmosphere. We had stayed in Frew suite that was superb. Breakfast was great, more than enough for two. Kitchen very well equipped. One of the best places we had stayed in. We do it again 😀

The rooms in the old homestead are fantastically OTT and are really suites. Perfect for a luxe hideaway. Also the restaurant and bar in the adjoining main Commodore motel are excellent.

The property and rooms are designed beautifully and the property as a whole has been fantastically renovated. Continental breakfast in the dining room was delicious and there was enough to serve as lunch as well. We had a late dinner at the restaurant linked to the property which was also great and the staff were very friendly despite our late arrival.

Great Escape from Reality
Estate was gorgeous and we were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. Very convenient location and would definitely stay again. Would be an absolute luxury if there was a tv in the lounge area of the Hay Suite to top things off.

Stunning accommodation One of the most charming accommodations we have ever stayed at, either in Australia or overseas. We stayed for 3 nights at the beautifully appointed Hay Suite with stunning decor. Although being the smallest of the 3 suites, we felt it was more than spacious enough with 3 areas - a lounge with a glorious fireplace and a drink trolley with mini spirits, a spacious bathroom with under-floor heating, and a bedroom with an extremely comfortable bed. As our flight arrived very early in the morning, and as first-time visitors to Mount Gambier, the very friendly and helpful Guest Services & Host - Ashley created an itinerary for us to ensure we were able to visit some tourist attractions in Mount Gambier city before picking up us to check in at 2 pm. The only disappointment we had was the lack of a wardrobe in the bedroom.

An exceptional restoration of a large family home. There are only three suites in the residence. A large billiard table takes up the whole of the top floor. The fixtures and fittings are first class and the bed is superbly comfortable. The breakfast hamper is THE BEST.

Good afternoon Jane Firstly, my sincerest apologies for my delayed reply. But I just wanted to extend a message of thanks for taking the time to write a review on us here at Delgattie Estate. Frew Suite is definitely the more popular of our three gorgeous suites - all of which we are extremely proud of. I'm very glad you were able to stay, and to read that you had a lovely stay. Hopefully, we'll see you again this way in the not too distant future. :-)

I have never felt so compelled to write a positive review in my life, and I have travelled quite a bit! Such an amazing property and felt very private and luxurious. Only option if staying in Mount Gambier, there is no comparison! We were passing through on our drive from SA to VIC but wish we could have stayed longer. Heck, I wish I could live here forever!! Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

A marvellous place to stay for an anniversary celebration. Our suite was beautifully decorated, with luxurious extras. Nice to be able to have room service, and the availability of breakfast either in room or just a quick walk away. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay to friends and family.

Mount Gambiers hidden secret
We arrived at the property and were warmly welcomed by Ashley who kindly opened the car doors and offered assistance with our belongings. We were provided a guided tour of the residence full of history and to ensure we were aware of all facilities available- the billiards room was a big hit. From start to finish this is a 5 star boutique hotel. From lavish antique fittings and furnishings to complimentary champagne on arrival to celebrate our honeymoon. We stayed in Frew. Everything we touched was of fine quality, from linen, towels to bath salts and hand wash. The fire in the bedroom was a romantic touch and the deep claw foot bath was ever so relaxing. An exceptional breakfast basket was delivered and had us gushing over what to eat and drink. There is honestly no better place to stay in Mount Gambier and we cannot wait to return. Thank you to Ashley and Lucy.
