Tonight I'll climb into the large Spa in the room and relax with a glass of something with the fire roaring as the Autumn evening chill descends outside. The room, one of the Lake view spa rooms, the budget option, feels five star and is up there with any high end hotel. Apart from the friendly greeting I got at check in I've hardly seen a glimpse of anyone else here other than my wife and that's how I like it. There must be other people here though as there's a car park full of cars and the place was pretty fully booked when I found it. The downsides? The Nespresso machine I brought along isn't working and the closest coffee is in Lithgow about a half hour drive away... But I know that when I booked. If I could buy this room I would.

Sustainable. Breathtaking. Luxurious…read more If cost is not a showstopper, this is an absolutely essential experience in Australia. It is a rather infrequent combination where luxury and environmental sustainability merge, to create an unparalleled experience. With a focus on conservation, the lands protected by this property are vast and beautiful. Coming here is literally following Darwin's footsteps, including the 1932 homestead that has been restored. Horseback riding, mountain biking and watching wildlife are probably the top ways to spend time here. The more, the better. Each villa comes with a Trek bike to take to the bush. Observe wombats, wallabies and kangaroos throughout the property and surroundings. Gorgeous birds as well. The food and wine is inclusive. The wine selections are local and the inclusive ones are quite excellent. The meals are Michelin grade quality, from lamb, to pumpkin ravioli, to the waffles and pastries. All was a solid 5 stars. The design and conservation was paramount. No reusable plastics, refillable water bottles, solar power throughout. It's a hotel of the future. Caring for the environment where it is, while keeping guests very comfortable.

The most incredible resort I've ever been to. The service is second to none. The quality of the…read morefurnishings and products on the property are top notch. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. The Spa: Wow! We ended up going several times during our stay and then bought a bunch of their products. It was an amazing experience each time. The Food: Very good, but it's the same menu every day so you can't stay for more than a few days without it getting tiring. Activities: the picnic was magical. I won't ruin it for you, but it takes "picnics" to a whole new level. I also typically refuse to ride horses at resorts because they are rarely treated well but this is not the case here. The horses live in absolute luxury and the trainers are professional riders. The archery activity was also surprisingly fun! It's a relaxing and beautiful place. For you're into enjoying nature and being pampered, this might be the best place on earth.

Stayed here for a couple of nights and it's a decent place to stay for the money…read more It's located about 5km out of town so if you stay here don't expect anything to be within walking distance. On the plus side though it's very quiet, cheaper than staying in town, and you can wake up and watch the mist rolling in over the hills. It's a traditional style motel where everyone gets a parking spot directly outside the room. There are 22 rooms in all and there is a mix of double and single rooms. I stayed in a double and although it was a little on the small side it was all I needed. The decor is a little dated but it's clean and tidy. The bathrooms were definitely a bit small. There is no vanity cabinet or storage at all and not having a sink plug made having a shave challenging. The motel has pretty fast free wifi, flat screen TVs in all rooms, and quite a few Foxtel channels available. There's also a microwave, kettle, fridge and toaster. They also serve in room hot breakfasts at a reasonable price.

It was clean and comfortable. The WiFi worked really well which was a plus. But, the one real highlight was the ironing facilities. They only have one iron and ironing board for guest use at the guest laundry, but WHAT an iron. It was by far THE best iron I have ever had the priviledge of using at a motel. I would recommend this place just on the iron. If you're lucky enough to be passing through Lithgow and need to stay the night, but need well ironed clothes the next day, stay at this place, the ironing experience will be well worth it!

The venue itself is exquisite. Every detail of the decor is charming and in line with the historical significance of The Carrington. Facilities are always clean and the staff patient despite the size of the crowd. I can't give five stars since I have never been in a private guest room, but if the public spaces are any indication, this is a great place to stay.
