We booked for 1 night but loved it and decided to extend our stay. Room was very clean, fresh and well maintained, the in-room microwave was a huge bonus. Lithgow is a great base to stay at for a visit to the greater blue Mtns region, it’s away from all the busy touristy spots but has equally breathtaking views and fun activities.

Very neat and tidy motel. Restaurant on site but no breakfast served and in-room options very limited (and pricey). We were on a tight schedule but still decided we were better off finding something in town for breakfast. Bathroom was TINY. We stayed on a very busy weekend but $330 for one night was highway robbery.
