Mount Gambier Gaol is a heritage-listed former prison and now converted accommodation and events venue in Mount Gambier, South Australia. It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[1][2]
It was first planned in 1862, but saw extended delays in construction, and was finally completed on 8 January 1866, four years after initially planned, opening on 4 April 1866. An extension for a women's section was added in 1873.[3] The gaol closed in 1995, when the new Mount Gambier Prison opened on a different site.[4] It later operated as a backpackers hostel for several years.[5]
In 2010, it was taken over and thoroughly restored as a hotel and a wedding and events venue, transforming former cells into rooms for guests to stay in.[6][7]
