A Perfect Stay at a Thoughtfully Designed Cottage Studio

We had a fantastic weekend staying at this charming cottage studio. From the moment we arrived, Sue and Gary were warm and welcoming—friendly and full of great local tips, yet never intrusive.The cottage itself is beautifully presented—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to make guests feel at home. The little touches made all the difference: bread in the freezer (including gluten-free options), a lovely selection of jams and spreads, butter, and even individual bottles of milk paired with neatly portioned cereal in mason jars. The bathroom was also well-stocked with toiletries and toothpaste, which was a nice bonus.For those who like to unwind, there’s a well-curated selection of books, local brochures, and even Sudoku for a bit of a challenge. The location is fantastic, backing onto a reserve with direct access to the walking path around Valley Lake—though be warned, the locals might downplay just how hilly it is! The scenery is arguably even prettier than the well-known Blue Lake walk, which is also nearby.Shops, cafés, and tourist sites are all within easy reach, and for us, the highlight was being able to walk to and from the festival at the old gaol with ease.All in all, a wonderful place to stay—highly recommended! Thanks again, Sue and Gary!

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

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.
