We stayed at Rydges Bathurst for only one night on the 21/08/15. My wife & I were travelling with 3 teenage boys for soccer the next day. Once the two ladies, at the front desk, understood this they upgraded us to a much larger room without hesitation. They also suggested a great family pub for dinner were the food was excellent & the boys appetites were satisfied. These ladies were so friendly & accommodating. They made us feel so welcomed that we enjoyed our experience & haven't stop telling...

Travelled to Bathurst for a concert which had been cancelled at the last minute but stayed anyway. The motel was within pleasant walking to the city centre and eateries. The staff were great.

Stayed 2 nights and found the hotel clean and staff extremely nice.
If I am in Bathurst for business I will definitely stay here.
Only downsight if you're a light sleeper a nearby train rumbling might wake you from time to time.

The two bedroom unit is perfect for any family small or large. Perfectly clean, spacious and comfortable with attentive staff. Only complaint was a 9pm phone call to my mobile during the stay from staff regarding a bad review she thought i had posted ( I didn't) which perhaps could have waited till checkout to discuss.
Other than that it was a lovely stay. I have already recommended it to friends and family

We were really happy with our stay. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and quiet. The hotel is a short walk to the centre of Orange and to cafes, restaurants and bars. The supplied continental breakfast was a perfect quick start to our day. We would stay there again.

We had a great family getaway at Hill End Lodge with a large booking of 14 people in total across 5 rooms. The staff were friendly and flexible.
We made use of the BBQ area and the fire pit during our stay. The restaurant was well presented and was able to cater for our large group.
Our stay was amidst some changes to COVID restrictions and the team at Hill End Lodge kept us well informed. Thanks to the team!

The best area to stay in Billywillinga is along the beachfront, particularly around the main esplanade off Ocean Drive.
This area is the heart of Billywillinga, offering direct access to the golden sands and the Pacific Ocean. The esplanade itself is lined with cafes, gelaterias, and boutiques, making it great for leisurely strolls. You'll find many accommodations here boasting ocean views, often just a short walk from the surf club and the main swimming areas.
For families, staying near the beachfront is ideal. The proximity to the beach means less travel time with little ones, and many local parks with play equipment are scattered along the esplanade. The calm, patrolled sections of the beach are great for children to swim and play.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will also find the beachfront appealing. Evenings can be spent enjoying dinner with ocean views, and there are several spots for sunset drinks.
When is the best time to go to Billywillinga?
The best time to visit Billywillinga is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.
During spring, you'll find comfortable temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. This is a great time for couples to enjoy activities like hiking in the nearby national parks or exploring the local wineries, as the landscapes are lush and the vineyards are beginning to bloom.
Autumn also offers mild weather, with temperatures typically between 15°C and 22°C. The cooler, drier conditions are superb for outdoor adventures without the intensity of summer heat or the chill of winter. Families often appreciate this season for bushwalking and wildlife spotting, as the conditions are comfortable for children and the wildlife is active.
The summer months (December to February) can be quite hot, often exceeding 30°C, which might not be comfortable for extended outdoor excursions.
