Lodges in Oberon Council

"We stayed for one night for my husband’s birthday. The property is quite dated and in need of renovation. The air conditioner didn’t work, leaving the room very cold. Once we contacted management, they sent someone to fix it. We were excited to use the pool and jacuzzi; however, there was no indoor kids' pool, and both the water and the surrounding area were too cold for toddlers and adults alike. Other guests were expressing the same concerns. I am unsure if the restaurants are managed by the hotel or operated independently, but the food quality was poor. At the Italian restaurant (Azzurro), our food arrived very late. They brought our toddler’s meal last, and it was cold. After an hour of waiting for our polenta chips, we were informed they had 'dissolved in the oil.' They did offer us a complimentary tiramisu as an apology. The cheese plater was good from Sublime but kids cheese burger was low quality not recommended. On a positive note, the lobby was clean with good facilities, and the cinema was well maintained. The kids' playground was modern and useful. Other amenities including ice skating, the motorboats, the big slide, and the Kidz Zone are available for an extra charge. The outdoor area was nice and tidy. Overall, it is a family-friendly property."

"The breakfast menu was very good & well presented. The room a/conditioner was average & didn't appear to work as it should. Further the room refrigerator would freeze the milk & drinks, it was replaced, but it did the same."

"Very budget, sad accomodation in Katoomba. Much better options available in the area. "

"Lovely atmosphere and facilities, room was clean but needs some upgrades "

"Great location within walking distance to Echo Point. Well presented and friendly attentive staff."

"The Shower bay could have a better design as the Water went all over the Bathroom floor."

"Visiting the Carrington was a trip back in time. A beautifully appointed hotel, attentive service, and scrupulously clean. We had a non ensuite room but the individual locked “bathrooms” in a shared facility were fine. The hotel bar and lounge area was a great place to relax after a day of local exploration. We will be back."

"Great staff"

"Clean, comfortable and central motel. We were attending a Wedding close by and needed a place to stay for 1 night. It was clean, the bathroom was spacious enough and the beds are comfortable. A added bonus was it was quiet and close by to the main strip of shops."
