Average room
No tv reception apart from ABC and NITV for 2 nights. Not a big deal but inconvenient. Had dinner at the onsite restaurant, would not do it again. Dreadful wait time and dinners were overdone. Drinks were very expensive also. Would recommend the bowling club for dinner, so much better. Our room was ok, nothing flash. Newer pillows would have been nice.

Lightning Ridge is amazing.
When you travel to a remote country town, it is best to stay in town.
There is so much more here, than you might imagine.

Good Country pub and caravan park
Accommodation was very tight in Lightning Ridge and only three places to eat dinner.
Large comfortable cabin with curtains that actually cover the door and windows! Good night’s sleep and very good bistro

We had significant issues with the hot water in the shower for our unit.
The relationship between the hotel and the bistro took some working out.
