The Property – A lovingly restored country manor
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. Discover it all from a heritage launchpad: the blissfully private Delgattie Estate.
Originally built in 1902, Delgattie Estate is one of the most iconic buildings in Mount Gambier. Its history is as impressive as its beautifully decorated halls, which boast spectacular chandeliers, vintage touches, oak tables, antique furniture and carefully restored fireplaces. Originally part of ‘Canavan’s Paddock’, the estate was founded by local accountant Alexander Walker, who built a single-storey dolomite and limestone residence after purchasing two allotments at auction. New livestock saleyards were built directly in front of the home where The Commodore restaurant is now situated.
Surrounded by lush gardens and offering just three, individually designed suites – each with its own ensuite, sitting room and private access – exclusivity and romance abound in this gorgeous property. When you are ready to mingle, head to the Spher Billiard Lounge & Balcony to sip a drink and play a round of billiards on the Melbourne-crafted Alcocks Barrel Leg table – part of the property since the 1920s.
Your Handpicked Inclusions – Daily breakfast and a warm welcome with wine and cocktails
Celebrate on arrival with a welcome cocktail each served against a picturesque Frew Park backdrop at Commodore on the Park before retreating to your suite to enjoy a bottle of Delgattie Estate Private Label wine.
Each morning, you can decide whether you prefer to have breakfast in the privacy of your suite with a hamper delivered to your door, or to make the most of your daily A$50 credit per room towards breakfast at Commodore on the Park restaurant.
Dining upgrade: Elevate your stay with A$100 dining credit per package to spend at The Commodore restaurant and indulge in an extensive menu of seasonal delights and chef specialities, complemented by some of Coonawarra’s best wines. Spend a leisurely lunch overlooking the sun-kissed Frew Park while you tuck into an à la carte menu (available Monday to Friday) or indulge in a spectacular seasonal, two or three-course feast (available Saturday and Sunday). Why not tuck into a starter of Berkshire pork croquettes dolloped with fennel cream, before sinking your teeth into a signature wagyu steak or soy-glazed roasted pumpkin? This is an unmissable dining experience when visiting Mount Gambier.
