Guest Reviews

• Phillip (5/5): Overpriced for a stopover bedroom. Difficult to find in the dark and poorly signed posted. - Basic, but clean and comfy beds. Hot water, heating and roof provided. There are a number of properties at the same address. In the dark it was not easy to locate the 'Flat". Tried calling the hosts and texting at 9pm when scheduled to check in. No response. Not milk provided with the tea.
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Katherine (10/5): Perfect! -
• Maree (3/5): - Not alot ! Lawns unkept mouldy door mat & concrete outside ... Mould in fridge (it wasnt turned on when i arrived ,i found a water in a tray & ice tray sitting in it . The shower mould & bad smelling drains . No milk nor extra roll of toilet paper,i had a cockroach on my bed & a grub came out of the haidryer! No iron or ironing board avail for use ..
• Joanne (8/5): - It was close to everything I needed. Very handy. Only fault is that it's near the main road. Can be noisy whilst trying to sleep. The decor didn't look like this one in this picture.
• Uwe (6/5): As a stopover ok - As stopover ok
• Maxine (8/5): This suited us for an overnight stay. It was lovely to have an outside area also. - Convenient location for a stop and then continue on with our journey the next morning. Clean & tidy. A little small but fine for a 1 or 2 night stay.
• Lester (5/5): - It was satisfactory,could do with some modernising..The place smelled must,the bed was damp..We had to completley spray the entire place with glen 20.. As above
• Jordan (2/5): Stay was good but tainted by rude host - Host was rude when I had issues with the lockbox, was reluctant to give me the pin. insisted I was doing things wrong. Additionally some construction works were going on in the same property right next door up until around 6.30pm.

• Judith (6/5): A good spot to break my trip. Cheree responded promptly to all communication. - Was very handy to everything. Was great to be able to sit outside. The tariff was was very cheap so my expectations were low and were exceeded in the cleanliness of shower and fresh bedding. Coffee cups weren't clean. No milk, only creamer.
• lorraine (8/5): -
• Tabatha Wieczorek (9/5): Lithgow's Little gem - It was small and cosy, close to the main street. I really can't say anything bad except that the pillow smelled like a man's Cologne. And there were spider webs on the ceiling above the TV And the tiles in the bathroom shower were all cracked and ready to fall off.
• Ann (10/5): Excellent for a one night travel stay for work. -
• Jill (3/5): Disappointed. The owner sounded kind when I checked that I had booked properly on line. - It was convenient to find No air conditioner. No instructions for a weak fan that would only blow warm air with the weather so hot on Friday night/Saturday 9-10 January!! Blind wouldn’t open on main window. No milk. I kept the door open till mosquitoes invaded. I wished I had booked a hotel room for half the cost. From my experience I would have had a better night’s sleep and been more refreshed.
• Johanna (9/5): It’s in a great location, easy to find and is good value for money. - The room was lovely. Small but well kept, clean. It’s exactly as advertised. When we got there we had a few struggles with the key which was our fault, however, when we messaged the owner we got a very timely reply and he was super helpful. Great location nearby the Main Street. I would definitely recommend. We struggled a little with getting in but that was our fault and the owner was super helpful.
• Ashen (9/5): -
• Margie (9/5): we would stay there again if travelling - Backyard Privacy from street Quietness As advertised Pillows - all 4 need replacing
• Jelle (9/5): Prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding - Het bed is erg lekker zacht en je hebt je eigen voorzieningen inclusief bestek en koelkast Geen wifi
• Geoffrey (6/5): - Clean and comfortable with microwave, kettle, and toaster. No air-conditioning just a poor fan. It was 34 Celsius that day so quite uncomfortable.
• Narinder1991 (7/5): - It was value for money Bed was very soft and was not comfortable
• Bernie (8/5): We had a very pleasant time - We loved the location, the quietness, and the cleanliness and the comfortable bed It was fine for a short visit, but was too cramped for an extended stay
• Schultz (3/5): - It looks nothing like the pictures, its old n dark, not nice clean n fresh like the pictures show, no aircon, what they had didn't work, you cldnt swing a cat around it, shld of been just for a single bed Pillows awful, had a bad sleep... Everything
• David (5/5): - Felt like a 60/70 style unit, looking old, Room small, Toilet suite old, must hold button to work.
• davina (4/5): Would not recommend this to anyone else - The listing stated this was a one bedroom apartment but it was literally a bedroom with a small ensuite. Had a table inside but we couldnt use it as the large heavy microwave was on it. The only water source was the small bathroom basin right next to the toilet so any washing up of cups, plates etc was difficult and unhygienic. The photos on the listing were deceptive as to the size of the room and the facilities. Had an outside sitting area but it was way too cold to sit outside.
• Paulina (7/5): - The flat was clean and good value. Communication was easy. Only street parking
• Thompson (1/5): - Price was good, nice location There was an odd smell in the bathroom. When I pulled back the blanket on the bed a used bar of soap came out of it. Upon letting the owner know i wasn’t going to be staying there, i received some sort of an apology about the soap, but was then told i was dramatising a piece of soap that wasn’t in the bed. i then received a message from the other owner who said if i needed to discuss it that i could call him, so i did. right of the bat he wasn’t polite, refused to believe his wife could leave used soap in the bed. very unprofessional in the way that they speak to customers as i’ve seen in replies to other negative reviews.
• Tim Clark (6/5): -
• Hiu (9/5): It a bit too dark to find the lock box, otherwise I can't complain. Clean room with shower -
• Linda (8/5): -
• Tony (6/5): -
• Gae (9/5): -
• Wendy (7/5): - Locating an it was a very good price. It was very cramped. There are two gates with 28 on them side by side it is easy to get confused. I tried to get into the wrong one and the lady there was very nice but didn't know there was a BnB in the back garden.
• Amanda (8/5): Excellent value for money. Clean comfortable and would recommend this place to anyone who needs these services - Affordable, clean and comfortable Too many power cords had me a bit nervous
• Scott (6/5): -
• Bridget (5/5): - Did not stay there as far too small ' it's a small garage turned into one bed plus very small ensuite. Could not get our open suitcases on the floor mind our small fridge. Our fault for not checking properly. Ended up staying both nights in great motel in Lithgow.
• Stuart (8/5): Good value for a stopover in Lithgow. - Very nice street but a little further from the station than we thought. For walkers, it's a great spot to visit Hassans Walls. It was difficult to fill the kettle from the bathroom sink. A filling jug would fix it. The facilities were quite basic, however, in line with the relatively low cost.
• Ella (6/5): -
• Linda (6/5): - The shower, the head, and the pressure of the water was lovely 😍 I wouldn't didn't like, I would say different.
• James (6/5): -
• Leanne (10/5): Compact and convenient for an overnight stay - Fantastic location, price and facilities - had everything needed for an overnight stay Nothing - everything was perfect!
• Kylie (8/5): Good value for money. - The clear check in instructions. The electric blanket and heater.
• Julia (7/5): Comfortable for short stay with warm bedding and hot shower. - Warm bedding and hot water. Dated and dark.
• Azure (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
• Michael (10/5): Very cute and clean granny flat! You’ll enjoy your stay there. - Appreciated the owner Adam ringing me right away just after I had just made the booking to confirm a late check-in time would be possible. Very friendly guy. I loved this little self contained granny flat. Had its own separate and private entrance and a keybox that allowed for easy access to the flat. Given it was zero degrees and freezing outside the little fan heater and electric blanket really helped me to stay warm and get a good nights sleep. Not a lot of space for hanging clothes but it was inconsequential for me due to my overnight stay. Came with a small fridge and microwave but didn’t end up using them. The complimentary toiletries (toothbrush and cotton wipes) were an added bonus. Parking was easy and on-street. Just a few metres away. Overall I really enjoyed my stay there. Good job Adam. Would have been nice to have been given some complimentary milk capsules in the fridge for tea. Also the bathroom could do with a heater too in the dead of winter!
• Lee (10/5): Cosy . Comfy bed. Would stay again. 🙂 -
• Martin (7/5): Good value - Cosy Difficult to locate after dark
• M (10/5): Wonderful and convenient -
• Kawada (10/5): Exceptional - Accommodation was thoughtfully prepared. It was just one overnight stay for work though I felt more comfortable than staying local hotels. I will definitely like to book again for my next trip.
• Carolyn (8/5): It was great clean and comfortable. Only thing was the neighbours as the very close proximity couldn’t be helped - Clean everything there that you needed The neighbours were a bit loud and woke early and couldn’t help but hear them. So woke early both days
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chang (8/5): Very good - Small, quiet and comfortable
• Alan (6/5): Disappointed. Flat needs some love and attention. - Flat on the Ordnance, Lithgow Review for overnight stay Saturday 03 May 2025 Summary: In its current state, this accommodation is at best a 6-out-of-10 rating, and needs some love and attention to get the basics sorted out. The Flat is about the size of a master bedroom (about 3.5m x 3.5m), and is located in a converted shed/garage down the backyard of a 1950s house. Reason for our booking: We attended a Dance Ball at the Function Centre in the nearby Showground. One night stay - cost $110.00 What we liked: - The location is handy, and is just off the main street into Lithgow shopping strip, which is about 1km away (Woolworths). - Our showground venue was about 600m from the Flat. - The bed is very comfortable. - The ensuite is fairly modern, roomy enough, with a good supply of hot water in the shower. - The keybox beside the entry door was already unlocked. No hassles getting the key out to unlock the door. What needs attention: - The power board has to go. A review a month ago from “Bec” (1 April 2025) highlighted the faulty power board, and it is still causing problems today. There are four appliances that need that board to work properly: Fridge; TV; microwave; kettle ... plus any charger plugs that customers may want to plug in. The board trips out too easily, and it's a bugger to try and get it to reset. We managed to get it going again a couple of times, but then it started showing a blinking blue light indicating a major fault. We ended up unplugging the board, and plugging appliances into various other power points around the walls. - The electric kettle doesn’t fit under the vanity basin tap for refilling. We had to fill a cup with water, and then tip that water into the kettle. Perhaps a plastic 1-litre jug could be provided to make it easier to get water from the basin tap to fill the kettle. - Hanging space for clothing is almost non-existent. The “pantry” cupboard with the louvre doors seems to be under-utilised. Maybe one side of this cupboard could be remodelled to be a hanging space? We had a ballgown and tuxedo suit that needed to have a tall hanging space, and the hooks fixed onto the door next to that cupboard weren’t good enough. - A plug is needed for the vanity basin, and the cabinet has empty packaging that needs cleaning out (it was still there from the “Bec” review a month ago). Would we stay here again? - No, it doesn’t suit us in its present state. If future reviews showed that some things had been sorted out, then maybe we would consider booking again, but we will probably spend an extra $50 next year to get a basic motel room instead. I wonder if some of the recent Google reviews for this Flat are fake bullsh!t?? Too many “Superb” ratings-only reviews, with 10 out of 10 score (with no comments). See all our photos to help you get a better idea of the Flat.
• Juder (8/5): Very good - Bed was comfy. Location was good. Check out was 11am, I was having a shower at 10:30am and my wife was putting clothes on but owner already trying to open the door.
• Lorrae (9/5): Superb -
• Kelkar (5/5): Ok for a one night stay. - Just functional for one night stay. Room was too small and not ideal with a person living next door making noise at odd hours. Not adequate space for clothes.

• Andrew (7/5): Good -
• Brendan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alan (9/5): Superb -
• Bec (7/5): Got the job done. Comfy. - Location was good. Bed was nice. Overall clean There was a razor and some Panadol in the cabinet. Not that a big deal but should probably check that. Also the powerboard circuits out when you put more than 4 plugs in, just if you didn’t know
• Alan (9/5): Superb -
• Alan (9/5): Superb - Quiet Na

• Robyn (10/5): excellent - Lovely little flat, very small ,spotlessly clean , but great for the short time we were there Will definitely stay there again. there was no milk in the refrigerator . That’s the only thing
• Voren (9/5): Superb -
• Alan (8/5): Very good - Comfortable A little cramped and no wardrobe to hang clothes
• Linda (6/5): Good for a overnight stay, will be much nicer when Reno’s will be finished for more room - Definitely the location Very small room, no aircon.used a fan but it was a scorcher of a day n didn’t do to much 😢
• Alan (8/5): I liked it. - Location was good and it was comfortable & clean. A little disappointed that there was no wardrobe to hang my ZZR uniform, however I was only there for two nights so it didn't become an issue.
• Jane (6/5): Pleasant - Convenient location, adequate facilities, comfortable bed and reasonably priced. Concerning lack of power points meant the powerboard overloaded when kettle and microwave were on at the same time. Rang the contact number only to get a message saying mailbox was full. Left a text message and no reply. Tea and coffee was not refilled and food left from a previous visitor was still in the fridge. Overall a bit disappointing.
• Daniel (7/5): Comfortable and clean, but I couldn't find the free car park. Street parking fine - Late check in was fine, very private, clean and well made inside. I couldn't find the free parking, but it was fine to park for free on the street. There were a few bugs around and some snuck into the room, but not because the place was unclean, just because of the trees and time of year most likely.

• Alex (10/5): Really liked it, cute place with character. - Nice place, clean with privacy. Host easy to communicate with. Not mucg
