I realise Lightning Ridge is a very remote outback town, however The room was very dusty which is not good for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Under the bed was rubbish including a cigarette lighter.

Nice room in a great open plan complex. The room was comfortable with usual items. Toater, microwave and fridge. My one tiny complaint is that we had plates and cups, but only cutlery was two knives. The complex is right in town and has it's own pub, bistro and bottleshop. There is also a caravan park section for those bringing their own accommodation. Staff where nice and helpful.

We lived in a motel. You can clearly hear the noise from the next room. There is no tables or chairs in the room. A small bench with two extremely high and uncomfortable stools in the room. Four of us had to stand around the bench for breakfast. There is only a double bed and one single when we paid for 4 people. The kids slept in a single bed. I still gave 2 stars because it is the outback, where at least we had a bed to sleep and a roof to keep safe. We cannot expect more than that. If you are tight on budget, it is not a bad option. We had no choice because there were no other places available. By the way, the pub steak was the best.

Bistro onsite have lovely meals. Staff were courteous. Room was ok, not finished off, blanket in cupboard was not new, it had been screwed up and shoved in. No instructions for wifi or dining, just a map. Overall stay was ok, don't expect the finishing touches.
