We booked in advance. When we arrived the place was deserted. We waited 35 five minutes wandering around, calling. Nothing. 2 cells were open, but we had no idea if they were because some guests left or what? Really basic: naked concrete floors, no wardrobes, no tables or bedside tables - just beds. Not enough blankets. Attention claustrophobics, no windows!Overpriced, no doubt.A guy with a bucket of paint passed by silently and went somewhere. We followed him. He said, take whatever is open, he knew nothing of when would the owners return. We sat by the kitchen - he painted a wall speaking to himself, arguing and shouting.We attempted contact again, he cooled off. If we retreated he restarted.The place was wallpapered with warnings : not allowed to BYO.We left after 4 PM bored and tired and spooked by the guy. At the gate we met a girl that had booked in advance too. Hearing there was just the painter in & 100% vacancy - she turned around with us.The place seemed unwelcoming to her too.

Mount Gambier is an interesting place in its own, but staying in a jail made the experience even better. The service was great, the activities were fun and I'd recommened it to anyone.

The thought of spending one night in a jail cell was certainly sounded exciting and we were impressed with the cells which had been remodeled just enough to be comfortable and still kept their original look. We were checked in at a reception behind bars with the owners in jail caps. The dinner served at the jail was a little overpriced but having a bar in the premises was nice. Breafast is included in the room price. Just be careful of the bugs and spiders crawling around the cells.

A great place to stay that has the added benefit of havin its own bar and restaurant. A few locals also go to the Jail and so be prepared to meet some Aussies face to face over a game of pool. lots of space and beds. In the centre of town. Had a great time on a Saturday night when there is free entertainment. The monthly jam session would be great to catch.
