“The redesign has brought a welcome level of luxury, and the emphasis on Coonawarra wines certainly elevates the dining; for those planning events, the dedicated support is a real advantage. Location places one within a short walk of Mount Gambier's attractions, but some reported issues suggest a need for more consistent upkeep. It's a property with definite strengths, yet attention to detail could truly unlock its potential.”
