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.

The Park was quiet, bed was comfortable and set out well.
The bathroom had a terrible smell from the water and we had to leave the fan in the bathroom on all night to stop the smell from going right thru the room.

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.

The buildings are getting a bit on in age . They are advertising for cleaners no one seems to be applying for the job . The cleaners they have are only giving the rooms a cat lick daily . Spider cobwebs everywhere.no 5 star rating for this stay .

Stayed here with my sister. The room was comfortable and on the larger side for a motel. The television was a bit small to see properly from the beds and there was only one chair in the room. It was an easy walk into the town proper and the onsite hotel and bistro were interesting. We had a very nice meal in the bistro. All in all nothing to complain about other than the dust but this is to be expected in a dry outback town.
