Hotels near Blue Lake/Warwar

The Blue Lake/Warwar in Mount Gambier occupies one of the craters of the extinct volcano after which the city has been named. Early each November, the lake's sombre blue, which is in evidence during the winter months, mysteriously changes to an intense deep turquoise blue almost overnight. The colouring remains until late February, when it gradually changes. From late March, it returns to a distinct sombre blue colouring that remains until the following November. The 3.6 kilometre road and walking track around the circumference of the Blue Lake/Warwar provides access to many viewing points, the most popular being the underpass between the Blue Lake/Warwar and the Leg of Mutton Lake/Yatton Loo.

    True blue
    From what I have read it is apparently a matter of luck as to whether the lake lives up to its name. Fortunately on the day of our visit it was clear blue from the viewpoint at which we overlooked it. Once seen, there was little else of merit in this area.

    Interesting local area
    We stopped at the main look out to take in this incredible site and I can only imagine if the sun was out how different the water would have been. It was a great colour even though it was a dull day. You can walk right around the lake or you can drive, we opted to drive. It is well worth stopping and reading all about it

    Not very blue at this time of year but still a great natural feature
    The Blue Lake is very accessible and is worth spending time having a look. While it is not very blue at this time of the year, there are good walking tracks around the rim. It’s very close to the main CBD too. A must do in Mount Gambier.

    LOVELY VIEWS
    We stayed at the Holiday Park just across the road from the Blue Lake so very close. It is such an amazing lake and you can actually walk all the way around it. Not sure how many kms it is to walk. We drove around to the east side of the lake one night and watched the beautiful sunset over the lake. It was amazing. You can also walk underneath and see the lake from eye level as well. Certain parts of the day the lake is so blue when the sun is shining on it. Very spectacular.

    Blue Lake Mount Gambier is a highlight
    This has a somewhat deep meaning for me, as the last time I came here was after a great family loss. Today it was even blue and more magical, with the sun opening up for the whole time we were there. The last time it was grey and overcast. The look out vantage point is awesome. Take the time to suck up the incredible colours and lonely vista. Have a giggle at the padlocks that people lock onto the wire.

    Blue lake (even at night)
    We were camping at a place close by and walked by the lake. It does have some nice views and yes the lake is really blue. Later that night we walked along the lake again after having something to eat in the village. It was a clear sky and the nice thing is that you you could see the lake and the milky way at the same time. I know you have to be lucky, but this was very nice to see
