GermanyI had a fantastic stay at the Holiday Hut in Lightning Ridge! Marija, the host, was incredibly kind and welcoming - she even had a small Christmas tree set up in my kitchen, which made everything feel so thoughtful and personal. The hut is brand new, beautifully furnished, and very well-equipped. There were chilled water bottles waiting for me, the kitchen had everything needed to prepare a simple meal, and the living area was cozy with a sofa, small TV, and, most importantly, air conditioning to keep cool in the Outback heat.
The bedrooms were very comfortable, with great mattresses and plenty of pillows, and everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was modern and had a lovely and modern shower. You can tell Marija really put thought into ensuring her guests have the best experience possible. The location is peaceful but convenient - just a short walk to the supermarket and the local bowling club, which serves surprisingly good food for such a small town.
Marija and her partner went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. We spent a few lovely hours on their terrace, and I learned so much about the area’s mining history. With their tips, I even found a few small opal chips, which made my visit even more exciting!
For anyone wanting to channel their inner Indiana Jones and experience an authentic Outback adventure with some gemstone hunting, the Holiday Hut is the perfect place. Highly recommended!
