The room was clean and tidy but starting to show its age. Close to the centre of the town so easy walking to many things.

The facilities are clean and i think very good for a more isolated area. Bar and bistro made it a good option for this area.

The room itself was tidy. It did smell strongly of surface spray/fly spray upon arrival that took ages to dissipate with the use of the ceiling fan and an open window. When we used the shower and the hot water hit the drain, holy hell did it reek. A smell of sewage made the shower unusable for our stay. That being said, the food at the bistro at the motel was delicious with generous to large servings. The people in the town were pretty chilled out and we felt safe and welcomed. Just wish the room matched the rest of our experience in Lightning Ridge. It really was a let down, especially considering the price

This was a good option for a one night stay. It's a pretty tidy place given the location - you're not going to get 5 stars out in the Ridge. The staff were friendly and the bed comfy.

Great motel, very comfortable, close to bowls club for a great meal, quiet, plenty of room, bathroom floor tiles can become slippery when showering so care taken, informed management, otherwise a pleasant stay.
