Accommodation suggestions in
the area during training courses
Hampton
Halfway Hotel/Motel
at Hampton about 20km from the training area. A great historic and
friendly country
pub with a great atmosphere and with a major renovation having been
tastefully done in recent months. All rooms are en-suite and
renovated. All rooms have a balcony attached
with lovely views across the valley. Meals are good and affordable.
Bookings
essential on (02) 6359 3302 open daily from 8.30am, I normally stay
at
the Hampton during training courses, it is a bit further away from
the
training than some of the others but the extra drive is well worth
it.
Royal Hotel, Wallerawang (also known as The Top Pub)
A reasonably quiet pub with reasonably
new and tidy cabins completely self contained and very
comfortable, rooms inside
the hotel reasonably priced but older style and not en-suite,
good menu for evening
meals. Cabins have on-suite shower, toilet and hand
basin, all cabins complete with TV, microwave, kettle, toaster,
crockery and cutlery. Off street parking right next to your
cabin. BBQ
area. Bookings essential Phone (02) 6355 7023. The bakery is
just up the road that will do you a great breakfast.
Commercial Hotel, Wallerawang
Very, very noisy most Saturday nights as well as some week
nights, not very
friendly but not far from the training area. Renovated rooms but
not en-suite, one communial bathroom for all rooms,
off
street parking.
Restaurant for evening meals. Family rooms with bunk beds. No
breakfast but bakery in town
that opens at 6am and
does good egg and bacon rolls and so on. Booking essential
(02)
6355 1089
The
Zig Zag Motel and the Parkside Motor Inn in Lithgow
both are well run and both seam to be reasonable places to stay at
in
town with good rooms and meals available. Booking for the Zig Zag on
(02) 6352 2477 and the Parkside on (02) 6351 2871
Bushman's
Motor Inn
at Marrangaroo, between our training area and
Lithgow. Has recently changed hands, there have been
recent issues with the restaurant not being available for
evening
meals, or booked out, breakfast also doesn't appear to be available
anymore, without any close by alternatives for either evening meal
or
breakfast, (this issue may have been sorted by the new owners) clean
rooms with free wi-fi. Phone (02) 6352
1655 to
make a booking.
Camping
- Situated on the shores of the picturesque Lake Lyell
there is
a clean, very well run and managed caravan and camping site which is
about 10 minutes away from the training area. It is a very popular
destination so I suggest you book sooner rather than later. Their
phone number is (02) 6355 6547
There is a wide selection of other accomodation in the Lithgow and
surrounding area from budget accommodation at the
Lithgow
Valley
Motel, phone (02) 6351
2334, to the best of the pick probably being the
Bowen
Motor
Inn, phone (02) 6352 5111.
Offering good value, is the
Zig
Zag
Motel with clean rooms and restaurant facilities,
situated on the outskirts of Lithgow. Phone (02) 6352 2477
Rydal
Pub, also known as the
Hotel
Alexander,
- NOT recommended - relatively cheap with meals available. If you
intend taking your wife
or female partner then there are probably better options available
elsewhere. Rooms not on suite but with communal unisex toilets
and
showers down the passage, these can get congested. You are
likely to have
interupted sleep from
train noise at night as the hotel is next to the main railway line
to
the west and several trains pass through, plus there is a level
crossing adjacent to the hotel. Some rooms above the bar which
can be noisy
at times, particularly if the jukebox is being played. Book after 4
pm
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and after 12 midday Saturday and
Sunday.
The hotel is closed outside of the above hours. The phone number is
(02) 6355 6208
