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.

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.

I enjoyed my stay. Room was comfortable and tidy. Had everything we needed. The staff are very nice. Having a bar and grill there made it easy and convenient. Food was lovely. The room we stayed in was a little outdated but I think that added appeal to the cabins and to lightning ridge.
