Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier is located in the South East of South Australia almost on the border of Victoria.
Mount Gambier is SA’s largest regional city and as such provides great shopping, cafes and fine
dining experiences. We have extensive knowledge of the best places you can visit and enjoy meals at
so simply book in and let us help you enjoy your stay.
Mount Gambier is home to the Blue Lake, which puts on a real show in late November, when the water-colour changes from a steel blue-grey to a brilliant turquoise blue. While numerous theories have been put forward to explain the annual transformation, a chemical reaction caused by temperature, calcium carbonate and blue wavelengths of light is a common explanation. A 3.6km walking trail traces the rim of the world-famous icon, with the adjacent Valley Lakes which have
formed in smaller craters are home to a wildlife reserve and fantastic adventure playground.
As well as the famous lake, Mount Gambier has quite a number of open and underground caves,
some of which you can walk into or tour to explore in detail.
Mount Gambier is also home to a number of art galleries, including the only 'A' class gallery in the
region, the Riddoch Art Gallery.
The Riddoch Art Gallery is located in Commercial Street East and
exhibitions are held year round.
