My husband and I stayed at the back of the property in “ the shed”. I was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was- a separate kitchen, laundry, dining area, lounge with 2 very comfortable sofas and the bedroom area had an amazingly comfortable bed. The bathroom was a small
wet room, it was winter so this was cold , didn’t spend much time in there! The rest of the space was warm and cosy. Very peaceful and quiet with parking off street. Shaun was a wonderful host, giving ideas on what to do and served great breakfast and catered well for me being a vegetarian. Would happily stay here again.

Lightning Ridge Stay
received a text message with full details of check-in & access to the room. Opal Suite had a kitchenette, double bed , separate bathroom with shower & toilet, Parking was out the front ( could be tight for larger vehicles) . Room was clean & comfortable. Quiet area . There are BBQ facilities at the rear of the property but I had no need to use them. Main street of Lightning Ridge is a few minutes drive or about 15-20 minute walk. Sonjas Bed & Breakfast was comfortable & suitable for my visit to Lightning Ridge.
