Miners Accommodation

Pros: The staff was friendly and capable.
Cons: Hair drier in the room would be good.
Location: Great Japanese garden nearby and Mining " Coal Centre" display was excellent value. Mine tours only available on two days of the week , Tues. and Wed.
Park mainly used for miners accommodation. The meals onsite were handy.The Wifi was available but weak.The room was spacious, basic and clean and good value for money.

One night motel stay

Entirely suitable, sensibly priced working man's motel. No frills, but doesn't break the bank either. Slept like a log both times I have stayed there.

value for money (in blackwater prices)

Pros: large, value, decent size tv, 2 beds in the room
Cons: bedside powerpoints, microwave, light switch in a different place.
Location: everything is close by in blackwater and there is not much to do. the motel is a bit noisy due to highway noise.
room was dated, and drainage didnt work properly. however when informed the staff got right on it and organized a plumber for that day. the room was large, beds were fairly comfortable. shower was warm and plenty of pressure. tv was a decent size. no bedside powerpoints however. and the light switch was hidden under the TV shelf.
