Loved staying at this place. The rooms were extremely clean and elegant. The host, Patty was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this b&b and definitely deserves 5 stars.

Our room at Colhurst house was lovely. Spacious, extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. However, there were a few disappointments. We had to collect the keys from the pub nearby which came with no instructions, so we arrived at the front door wondering which key to use. Once we entered, there was no one there and we had no idea which room was ours. We wandered around the big house before guessing that our green key meant we had the green room. Some instructions would have been helpful. Also, Colhurst House should not claim that it is a bed and breakfast, when there is no breakfast provided as this is quite misleading. There's a kitchen there but we weren't sure if it was for guest use, because again we couldn't find any advice. We think this information should be provided at the time of booking.

Beautifully restored heritage house tastefully decorated. Very classy guest lounge and rooms. Bathroom spacious and modern. Patty is a lovely host, discreet but informative and friendly. Complimentary tea,coffee, cookies and yummy cake! Gorgeous breakfast! Wouldn't change a thing, thoroughly recommend this fabulous B&B.

Even more beautiful than the pictures. Highly recommend, will return again. Delightful host.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Colhurst House, a beautiful and charming accommodation conveniently situated near Mount Gambier's city center. The location proved to be ideal, within walking distance of various shops and restaurants. The room itself was pleasant and well-maintained, complete with the added perk of a tea and Nespresso coffee machine. While my overall experience was positive, I regretfully cannot award the hotel a perfect 5-star rating due to some issues encountered during the check-in process. After a long and tiring drive, the anticipation of a seamless check-in was dashed when we arrived and found no one at the reception desk. It turned out that the hotel had tried to contact me earlier, but since I had an international number, they were unable to reach me over the phone. A simple email or phone call (or whatapp number) with check in instructions would have alleviated this situation. Unfortunately, the situation escalated when my email to the hotel went unanswered for more than 30 minutes. Frustrated, I had no choice but to make an expensive international call, which eventually resolved the matter. Thankfully, a kind staff member promptly arrived to assist with the check-in process after the call. Another minor inconvenience was the absence of details regarding the Wi-Fi password in the room. A straightforward sign with this information would have resolved the issue without any hassle. Once again, I resorted to sending an email for the password, but, disappointingly, received no response. This forced me to make another call, urgently requesting a reply to my email.

Wonderful old 1850's home, only 200m from the main street (easy walk). Met on-site for checkin & very simple process. We had the upstairs Tartan Room for 2 nights. I think their are 4 apartments in house - upstairs with shared living downstairs. Our room was large & quiet & equipped with heating, TV, coffee maker, jug & comfy bed. Furniture is timely. Bathroom had been updated with shower over claw foot bath. Shared facilities down - no stove or oven. Car parking at rear or on street at front. Great experience.

Absolutely adore this place. My husband and I stayed in the white room for our 1 year anniversary as Mount gambier is on our list of places to visit. So peaceful but yet it’s right in the middle or close to everything. The place is breathtaking, it was very comfortable and now we have left I still miss this place terribly. If you are looking to stay in Mount gambier I would definitely recommend this place especially if you are into older vintage places.

First of all the house is stunning. The lady that helped us check in was wonderful and informative. Car parking at back was small but plenty of parking in the quiet street at the front. We stayed in the tartan room and bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was old fashioned and was exactly what you would expect in a beautiful old house like this. Our friends were staying in a upmarket apartment nearby and wanted to stay here instead. Cant recommend it enough. Do yourself a favour and stay here. Book early. Only four rooms.

Quite simply a hidden gem in Mount Gambier. Colhurst House is tucked away almost right in the centre of the main town, and within easy walking distance to some of the best foodie pubs in town, and the cave gardens. The rooms are well presented and always immaculate. I stay here as my hotel of choice each week for work, and recommend this or the Commodore as the best accommodation in the town for my colleagues.

A very pretty photo location as the home is well kept and has beautiful gardens. Convenient location but also not super private or quiet because it's so close to town.

From the check-in to check-out everything was great. Ashleigh was very helpful when we arrived for the check-in and making sure we know everything about our stay. The room was very clean, bright and very pretty, bathroom area was designed brilliantly with the high ceiling and a window on the ceiling, very spacious area, jacuzzi and the view of the garden! Will come back

Beautifully maintained house with different themes for different rooms. Common lounge area to relax. Daily room service with bar fridge is the Tartan room we stayed in. Conveniently located with eaterys and bars walking distance.

I rarely write reviews of less than 4 stars but in this case it was hard to do otherwise. The property is within easy walking distance to the main street. There was just enough parking for 4 cars; it was pretty tight but on both nights I was there, we managed to squeeze in. 4 big 4wd's would not have fitted. There was ample hot water in the shower and plenty of soap, shampoo, etc. My complaints were: - * Shower curtains tucked into a deep, clawfoot bath but despite my best efforts to keep the floor dry, shower water flooded the floor. * 2 single beds were joined together, resulting in a ridge down the middle which kept rolling me off to the edge of the bed. * the bed rolled around the floor when I was merely sitting on the bed. It kept rolling to more than 30 cm off the wall until I folded up a floor rug and put it under one wheel. I was just sitting on the bed reading, nothing more energetic. * a dirty handbasin. * wine glasses with fingerprints and smears on the outside of them. * tea/coffee rings on the coffee table from liquid spilled by previous guests. * I pulled the TV table out of the corner so I could see it better and there was thick dust in one corner behind it. * the room had the grand title of "The Tartan Room". This was because the room had a tartan fabric bedhead, which must be impossible to sanitise. There were about 4 other mismatched styles of decor in the room, which resulted in a rather second hand, tired look. * there was no visitors guide to tell guests what amenities were on site. * my room had a kettle and coffee machine but no teabags. I went downstairs to see if I could find someone to ask and ended up raiding a kitchen, where I found teabags. I have no idea whether or not I was at liberty to take them but I did. * both mugs in my room had significant chips in the rims. * In general, the house was very tired looking. All in all, it was not somewhere I would choose to stay again.

Seems like guests have varied check in experiences depending on who’s on staff each day. Our experience was quite smooth. We booked the day of and I received a call to coordinate a time for us to pick up the keys, which was quick and easy. The room was small (albeit a bit cold in the winter), though the bed was comfortable and shower was hot. We had coffee pods in our room but no kettle or tea bags. Overall, a nice stay, though a few small things can be improved (based on our experience and seems like the experience of other reviewers), particularly given the higher price point.

We stayed in the Green Room while in Mt Gambier to see the ghost mushrooms. Gorgeous room with stunning bathroom and spa bath, and a fireplace in the room. Would recommend

Lovely old Victorian (?) styled home, large room with available amenities. Clean and hospitable! Thanks Patty, We loved our stay.

Charming period mansion, lovely garden. Room was tastefully furnished, clean and very comfortable and enjoyed the lovely deep bath. Loved the elegant loungeroom. Excellent breakfasts!! Stairs are steep but Patty is friendly and helpful and offered to help with our luggage. Central location. Was a pleasure to stay here. Will be staying here again.

5 Star experienced in the beautiful Colhurst House. We stayed in the 5 Star accommodation The Colhurst Suite, just a stunning experience. Afternoon tea in sitting room was another beautiful experience. Highly recommend this beautiful 1800's mansion centrally located in the heart of Mount Gambier.

Beautiful period mansion, comfortable spacious room ( white room). Nice breakfast. When we arrived we knocked on the back door ( as directed), the host looked surprised and seemed like she was not expecting us. She was not welcoming and briefly showed us to our room. She was not rude but not friendly either. Kind of a bad vibe.
