I stayed with my mum and sister for a family function held in the restaurant. The room was excellent. Felt very cosy with the warm colured timber in the room and enough space for the three of us without feeling cramped. The heater/air con keep up with the temperature changes and keep the room at whatever temperature you ahve chosen.The restaurant is the biggest in town and very popular with the locals and with companies undertaking training so booking in advanced is advised.

Didn't bother me as such, but my room was adjacent to the Western railway line, which is close to the property. Trains aren't very frequent, but light sleepers might hear them rumble through of a nighttime.

Black Gold is an excellent motel. It’s extremely well maintained and my room was spotless. Plenty of good strong hot water in the shower. The TV was high tech and easy to set up with the QR code. Room access is by key lock code so it’s possible to never see a member of staff. I enjoy human interaction and don’t feel this is necessarily a good thing although I can understand it’s very popular with some guests. Had breakfast and dinner in the Crib Room, both very good. Coffee was excellent.

We stayed in the Hawkins cabin which is self contained. It had all necessary items required for cooking. Entire cabin is big enough for 7 pax. Location is also easy to reach. Quiet motel. Heard the restaurant is serving good food but we did not manage to try as it was closed for the holidays. Happy with the accommodation!

Not too big of an issue. As we stayed there during winter, the toilet area was very cold as the door was not wind proof. In the living room and bedroom, there is an air-conditioning / heating. Might not be sufficient for families of 6 or 7.

The room was fresh and well appointed. Catering for the convention dinner was truly excellent: gourmet quality food (including my vegetarian option) and very efficient service.

I'm not a fan of alternate (in this case triple) drop service, and my partner was given pork for both his starter and main. Wallerawang is not a place I would ever have chosen to stay at (no town to speak of, and the motel is some way out of what there is) if not for the convention.

Very impressed with this motel. It was clean, had comfortable beds, and it was clear that a lot of effort had been made to bring it up to a high standard. Lovely white towels, fridge and coffee making facilities - there was nothing else we needed for our 2 nights there. We had dinner at the restaurant twice. Great meals and the staff are lovely. Would happily stay again.

Everything! The room was lovely, very clean, the staff were very friendly, the meals were delicious and very well priced. All the amenities were clean and everything was beautiful designed and spacious. I will definitely be staying again the next time I'm out that way 😃

The only downside that I can think of is that we didn't know a reservation was required for breakfast, however even that is null and void as they still gave us a table 😃

Owners are fabulous hosts, very knowledgeable, and caring. Staff are professional and efficient. Food is amazing, and rooms are pristine, comfy, and well appointed. Great water pressure in shower, beds were warm and comfortable and the surroundings were pristine and immaculate. Linda and Rob are such beautiful and caring owners who take immense pride in their motel.

The family room was large and relatively comfortable. The facilities were also large. Offers a good museum on the mining history. One particular staff, Louise, was very helpful, especially during our prep stage before coming to Australia.

The location is a little off from where we intended to go (about 10 min drive from Katoomba). The Black Gold Motel looks a little dated.

Enjoyed the updated seating both around the dining table and the lounge, good heating and beds with plenty of options. Found the accomodation very neat and clean. Look forward to returning

Please sharpen the kitchen knives, the light in the lounge is very dim, it was over the dining table however we switched the bulbs in order to see our evening meal better

We loved the restaurant and are so pleased we booked in for dinner and breakfast. The room was quiet, clean and had all we needed. We enjoyed the location as it gave us an opportunity to explore the villages nearby for the first time. The reverse cycle AC worked well.

I found the bed was a little firm for my hips. A topper might help. Also a choice of a high or a low pillow is always appreciated, IE two of each in the room. The shower head needs checking in our room.
