Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It was clean neat tidy BUT needed updating. Stained pine walls and ceiling, plus the fluro needed changing and the bed lamps didn’t work at all made for a very dark interior

Gail

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here 2 nights. Rooms very tired, in need of renovation on all levels. Bed was comfortable. All rooms had glass doors as entrance doors which ment you had to have the curtains across the doorway for any privacy. Showers were all small and open to the bathroom so water flooded the floor. We had an unfortunate event while here. They need more security on the site, plus a contact for emergencies. No one contactable out of hours. All entrance doors need to be changed to solid doors. Would not stay again.

We found the staff extremely helpful, our room was extremely comfortable and clean. The hotel staff were friendly and made us feel at home. We will be revisiting Lightning Ridge and will hopefully be able to stay at your resort again. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Room is small and has no ventilation but we were comfortable. Bathroom was very compact and not much bench space. Some restaurants were closed on Sunday night.

You can't expect 5-star luxury in the middle of the opal fields, but it was very comfortable especially for just an overnight stay. We ate at the attached bistro where the young staff appeared to be very overworked.
