Top Explorer Country Hotel Reviews

Zoofari Lodge at Taronga Western Plains

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful experience and beautiful accommodation, I could just sit on the deck all day watching the amazing wildlife, tours were also amazing so much to see and do, staff wonderful and so full of knowledge. This was my 3rd visit and I just keep coming back every year to my happy place."

Parkview Hotel Orange

8/10 Good

"Good value for money. Very comfortable King Size bed. Large room. Very quiet. Only issue was having to take all our bags up the stairs. There isn’t a lift and no one was around to help us at check in. We managed it but difficult at our age- mid 70’s and early 80’s. We had dinner in the dining room which was convenient. Waiter was very friendly. Steak was a bit gristly. Very good location overlooking lovely park with car parking in the street that we could see from our room. Close to shops and the Information Centre."

Soldiers Motel

8/10 Good

"My room was a curious mix - mostly good, with just a little bad... not enough to spoil my stay. The bed was big, clean and reasonably comfy. There was everything you might need to feed yourself - fridge, microwave, cutlery, crockery, tea and coffee, washing-up liquid etc. It was nice to have a bath and shower and - as I was on the ground floor - my own parking spot. The small outdoor swimming pool was a bit cold but I dipped my toes in all the same! The pool had a couple of comfy loungers next to it. Each room had a little table and two chairs outside, which was a nice touch. The only downside to that is that large family groups would congregate and sit around outside someone's room, and chat until late - not great if, like me, you're the guy next door who isn't in the group and wants to get some sleep. The nights were on the cool side and the heating worked well. The worst thing for me was the bathroom, which had ceiling / wall mould in several places, cracked tiles and the enamel peeling off the bath. The bathroom was in serious need of renovations, while the rest of the room was fine. What I didn't know until I booked this stay is that Mudgee is ALWAYS busy with festivals / sporting events / weddings / misc other things, and rooms are (a) hard to find and (b) often expensive. Given that my room was only $140 per night in October, I can't bring myself to criticise it too much... it wasn't perfect but to be fair, it was really good value and I'd go back again."
