Independent in Lithgow from NZ$93

"I was impressed by the quality of this motel. My room was spotlessly clean and nicely updated, with every convenience one would expect. A toaster was a nice touch. It's obvious the owners take pride in the upkeep of their property. I particularly like the convenience of literally parking at your front door at this traditional one level motel. No stairs to lug your luggage up to distant rooms. The motel is conveniently located with only a very short drive to Katoomba and Leura. As it's ocated off the main highway, it's quiet at night, with only light traffic on the nearby Old Bathurst Road. I found the staff friendly, efficient and welcoming. I noticed a large library of board games and DVDs in reception, which would be good for families. I would gladly stay at the Sky Rider again."

"Loved the unique experience of staying in an old grand historical hotel which was beautifully renovated and interesting. Staff were lovely."

"My partner, his son and I were in town for a sport competition weekend. This property was ideal for what we were after. Very spacious, very clean, and in a great location. There was a tiny issue with the place not being ready once we checked in but host Maggie was amazing to communicate with and got it sorted out immediately which was really appreciated. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! "

"Great spot with a very nice restaurant and lounge area with an open fire. Room was very clean, comfy bed and car was not visible from the road. Close to the highway but didn’t hear anything at night with the doors closed. Would stay here again for sure."
