Mount Gambier Gaol opened in 1866 and closed in 1995,[1] when it was replaced by a new Mount Gambier Prison on a different site. The former gaol is listed on South Australian Heritage Register.[2]
The former gaol has since become a tourist hotel, transforming former cells into rooms for guests to stay in.[3]
