The location is next to some beautiful parks, where we were able to walk and enjoy the outside. Blue Lake was an easy walk. Sue and Gary were so welcoming. Great stay in Mount Gambier! ##### Laury T. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joy B. Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Two warm weeks We decided to stay here for a restful break in early Winter. Not unexpectedly it was rather cold and wet outside, but the Unit was wonderfully warm and well insulated despite the weather. The bed and couches were very comfortable and the kitchen was easy to work in. We chose to bring a slow cooker and air-fryer which meant we rarely went out for meals. The hot water worked well and the hosts were helpful and friendly. My husband uses a walking frame but this was easy to manage in the Unit. The elevated position of the Unit was a bit more demanding for packing and unpacking the car but the view of Mt Gambier township from the Unit was great. ##### Joy B.

Nov 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot Sue has set up a fantastic place at the back of her beautiful backyard. Place was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Very quiet area, with great walks accessible just at the back fence. Kitchenette is well set up and even though there is no hot plate, there is supplied a good quality electric frying pan, so we could still have a cooked breakfast on top of the wonderful breakfast supplies already at hand! Would happily have another weekend here again and hope we can one day. ##### Vicki W. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert B.

The quality of the unit, it’s linen, and furnishings is first class, and the little touches like fresh flowers and ample breakfast supplies were very welcome. Located adjoining a big green space, a short walk to Valley Lake, and set in a beautiful tranquil garden, Sue’s retreat receives our highest recommendation. ##### Robert B.

Set in Su and Garry’s wonderful garden, it had everything we needed including a most comfortable bed with lovely linen.
