Have stayed at the barn many times. Nice, modern and clean rooms. This time was no exception. Unfortunately didn't have time to get to the steakhouse but I highly recommend it based on my previous stays. Good location but only downside is if you want to get a cab into Mt Gambier for some drinks and back, it's gonna cost you about $40 return.

Liked: Amenities
The room was spacious and the facilities were decent, and we really enjoyed the spa. However, the sofa bed became uncomfortable after a while, and the lanai hadn’t been cleaned — it was covered in leaves and mud. The most frustrating part was the mosquitoes inside the room; no matter how many we killed, they just kept coming. While I understand that it might be difficult for the hotel to control, the reality is that during our one-night stay, we were woken up three times by mosquito bites, killed four mosquitoes, and my daughter ended up with seven bites. Overall, the accommodation was okay, but it definitely didn’t feel worth the price of over $300 per night.

From the gorgeous gardens to the huge rooms, our stay at the barn was one of the best on our road trip so far. Dining onsite at the steak house was delicious.. we will stay again if we get to mount gambier again.
