The sign at the office door says "Authentic, reliable, trustworthy". That's true - it's a pleasure to stay at Shaun's property. I had lovely breakfasts, wifi, somewhere to dry my swimsuit, my vehicle was safe in the yard, I had privacy. It is an old house, so the walls are a little thin and the floors a little creaky. Instead of a DVD player, it's time to upgrade the TVs to ones to which can stream our phones. I'll be back soon

My husband and I stayed at the back of the property in “ the shed”. I was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was- a separate kitchen, laundry, dining area, lounge with 2 very comfortable sofas and the bedroom area had an amazingly comfortable bed. The bathroom was a small wet room, it was winter so this was cold , didn’t spend much time in there! The rest of the space was warm and cosy. Very peaceful and quiet with parking off street. Shaun was a wonderful host, giving ideas on what to do and served great breakfast and catered well for me being a vegetarian. Would happily stay here again.

Lightning Ridge Stay
received a text message with full details of check-in & access to the room. Opal Suite had a kitchenette, double bed , separate bathroom with shower & toilet, Parking was out the front ( could be tight for larger vehicles) . Room was clean & comfortable. Quiet area . There are BBQ facilities at the rear of the property but I had no need to use them. Main street of Lightning Ridge is a few minutes drive or about 15-20 minute walk. Sonjas Bed & Breakfast was comfortable & suitable for my visit to Lightning Ridge.

Very nice room, with seperate entry/kitchette. Clean annd tidy. Only gripe is the old-fashioned “window rattler” ac - it is noisy and thus was hard to sleep with. Suggest split ac would be more in order. And the paid-for brekkie didn’t eventuate due “renovations” forcing a partial refund and a lift into town, which was fine. Manager Sean was very obliging and provided us with transfers to our aircraft at the airport. Much appreciated.
