Quaint, quirky and quiet

The Sunset Suite in Sonja's B&B made a refreshing change from our usual motel stays. The unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our needs, even if the en suite was a little 'bijou'. We had booked 2 nights but only stayed 1 as no-one told us that most of Lightning Ridge's attractions, shops and restaurants close down 'for the season'. This is no reflection on Sonja's as we would have been very happy to stay there.

Cosy, comfy and quiet b&b close to town

We had a lovely stay at Sonja’s - we stayed in a miners suite which had parking right outside, there was a separate kitchenette with the essentials to make a light breakfast and prepare lunch. The bedroom was well appointed with dresser type space to keep our toiletries out of the small bathroom plus medications etc. The aircon was a bit noisy but efficient in the summer heat. The only thing is there wasn’t a PowerPoint on both sides of the bed, so I charged my phone in the kitchen. Insect repellent and tourism guides were supplied in the foyer. We didn’t get to meet the hosts but they were readily available by phone, if needed.

My husband and I had a really enjoyable stay. It was nice that we had the back little cottage with its facilities. Shaun was excellent. Helpful with information and offering to help where we needed it. Provided an excellent breakfast with healthy options. Karen

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
