Mates Rates

Mates Rates operates from Wireless Road East in Mount Gambier, making them the natural Hunter Stoves destination for South Australia's south-east and the nearby Victorian border communities. Mount Gambier is a significant regional centre, the second-largest city in South Australia, and its location close to the Victorian border means it serves a genuinely large regional catchment that includes communities on both sides of the state line.

The name says something about the approach: no nonsense, fair pricing, straight dealing. For a wood heater purchase that involves a significant investment, that kind of transparency matters. The team at Mates Rates carries the Parkray Aspect Eco range and provides advice without the upsell pressure that can make larger city dealers feel transactional. They know their customers, local tradies, farmers, families looking for the right heater at the right price, and their approach reflects that.

Mount Gambier and the Limestone Coast region experience genuine winters, with cold south-westerly winds off the Southern Ocean pushing temperatures down through June and July. The volcanic landscape around Mount Gambier also includes some elevated areas where frost is common and draft-proofing becomes as important as heater output. Mates Rates has the local knowledge to factor these conditions into their recommendations, making them a genuinely useful resource for anyone in the south-east looking to heat their home properly.
