Outstanding!
We were immediately comfortable in Sue’s darling retreat. Everything was perfectly clean and she had fruit, cereals, bread, coffee, tea, etc. waiting to welcome us. 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!

Great accommodation
Apart from a great stay in Mount Gambier, this accommodation was excellent and is run by the nicest couple you will ever meet. Sue and Gary greeted us upon arrival and were so lovely and helpful, they were just like family. The location is excellent and quiet, it was just a 3 minute drive into the town. The accommodation is comfortable and very clean. We would definitely stay there again. :-)

Beautiful
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the peace and luxury we found at Su’s Place. Set in Su and Garry’s wonderful garden, it had everything we needed including a most comfortable bed with lovely linen. An amazing view across Mt Gambier was a bonus — a must-see spot for a quiet glass of wine in the evening ……. K

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.

Quality and tranquility
Sue & Garry were wonderful hosts - they saw to all our needs and were very friendly without being intrusive. 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.

A hidden gem
Sues Retreat was the perfect place to base ourselves while in Mt Gambier. Its in a peaceful part of the Mount, close to everywhere we needed to be. Everything was supplied that we might need, including breakfast, which was much appreciated. Sue and her family and friends were very welcoming and we enjoyed our chats under the carport!

Sue’s Retreat
We had a very restful time at Sue’s Retreat. The property is very unique as it backs onto beautiful parkland / bush with views of the Blue Lake District. Everything was immaculately clean & beautifully presented with outdoor seating overlooking the township & Sue’s gorgeous garden. Sue & Garry were both warm & welcoming and provided us with everything required to ensure a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the abundant choice of breakfast provisions including fresh fruit & real milk 🙂 Sue’s property is in a quiet & well presented neighbourhood and only 5 mins drive to the town centre. We would be very happy to stay there again if the opportunity arises. Thank you Sue and Gary for sharing your beautiful property Chris & Phil

Fantastic property
I don’t actually want to tell everyone how good this property and property manager are because when I go back to Mt Gambier it will be booked out. No only joking this was a fantastic stay and I really enjoyed it. Very very clean and a great location. Thoroughly recommend this property.

Town and Country
The apartment is five-star! Spacious, private, spotlessly clean, with quality furnishings and linen. A/C and ceiling fans. Elevated position gives you a view over Mount Gambier and immediate access to the countryside literally at your back gate. The hosts, Sue and Garry, were helpful and very nice.
