The Property – Stylish accommodation surrounded by gourmet indulgence
Overflowing with extraordinary flavours waiting to be unearthed, the Mount Gambier region is South Australia’s gastronomic heart and proudly boasts the title of Nature’s Food Bowl. Whether you want to sample paddock-to-plate delights and clean, green cuisines, or treat yourself to delicious tipples and creamy dairy-based desserts, you can enjoy it all from your gourmet launchpad: The Commodore.
Home to an award-winning restaurant alongside a collection of spacious rooms and suites, this beautifully-appointed property is the ideal base for foodies looking to explore the Mount Gambier region in style. The star of the show is The Commodore Restaurant: open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this luxurious eatery features an extensive menu of seasonal dishes and chef specialities alongside sweeping views of Frew Park. For lunch, start with a half dozen fresh Coffin Bay oysters and Beachport smoked trout before savouring the signature wagyu steak with crispy potato strings or 12-hour braised lamb with quinoa crisp and soft polenta. Return at dinner to enjoy Berkshire pork belly with burnt apple puree or the roasted chicken supreme with Paris mash. For dessert? Don’t go past the lemon verbena curd with sweet vanilla mascarpone or a luxe chocolate brownie featuring toasted marshmallow, whipped espresso cream and a crumble of hazelnuts.
Discover the charms and geological sites of Mount Gambier, the second largest town in South Australia and the heart of the state’s Limestone Coast. Perfectly positioned between the state capitals of Melbourne and Adelaide, this country town is dotted with heritage buildings, shops, cafés and restaurants – but it’s the natural wonders that will leave you dazzled. From the sapphire waters of the Blue Lake to the underground Garden of Eden in the Umpherston Sinkhole, Mount Gambier hides beauty around every corner.
