Lovely town. Friendly residents. Great pies and coffee from Bakeorama Bakery. Lots of attractions including cattle sale yards, sculptures of the outback and huge bottle trees lining streets, beautiful Anglican Cathedral and the fantastic big rig

Friendly little town, with an abundance of licensed premises.
Great Bowls Club with friendly staff ang great greens. The bowls club also has sites for caravans.
Plenty of restaurants to suit all needs. Fast food - Macca's & KFC in town.
The Roma bakery definitely worth a visit for breakfast with an extensive menu and great freshly baked products.
Whilst in town visit the Big Rig for a look at history.
Easy to get around town, no Uber but Roma Taxis always available.
Whilst in town look at a visit to the Carnarvon Gorge (There is a bit of walking to do. So, if you're not fit to walk distances there is a group in Roma that takes you to spots with limited walking.

We enjoyed Roma, major attractions within walking/running distance of our accommodation. A hub to other locations we visited such as the Spa at Mitchell, parkrun at Surat and the pub at Mucka. Glad we had aircon as it got to 41 degrees.

Please do not stay here it was a terrible experience.
Please do not stay here it was a terrible experience. I was verbally abused by a woman who did not identify herself but claimed authority to make us move accommodation after we had unpacked and settled in. She was threatening and aggressive, the interaction left me disturbed and upset for some days afterwards. Dealing with this angry woman made me have bad memories of Roma and I could not wait to get out of the town. This is not what you expect when staying in accommodation. I strongly encourage you to seek accommodation elsewhere and hope that other tourist operators in the area are more hospitable and gracious. Perhaps this woman is just jaded by all the contractor workers in the area, this tourist park is making a lot of money with FiFo contractors but is the money worth it when they just spew anger.

On arrival by bus, we hired a car from AVIS which helped us get around. It was a family history visit and we appreciated the staff at Roma and District Family History and at The Butter Factory Museum. As we were looking at specific places - family houses, cemetery, family church, and family workplace history we did not go to see 'Roma' in particular. However, having spent a lot of time in Roma in the past, it was lovely to see the work along the Bungil, the museums, the bottle trees still thriving, the new hospital, new estate and the levee, but sad that Hunter Bros store is derelict. It is great that the Railway Station is heritage listed, but what a pity there are no longer staff working there.

Roma has lot to offer - especially the history of the gas industry & other historical shared information- also a must is to busy the Sales yard - try & visit on a Tuesday to see the Sales Yard in action
Our stay was pleasant, Roma is a lovely place with plenty to enjoy.
We were disappointed in our room, we expected a little better and our camp kitchen wasn't clean or serviceable, l wouldn't even consider washing dishes in the sink. The evening meals are a great idea and we enjoyed them. The Managers are delightful people and couldn't do enough for us.
I could not believe how stunning the studio apartment was. Our family felt completely provided for and could of stayed longer, we felt like we found a gem. Any time we stay in Roma we will return to Athena without a doubt. highly recommend to anyone.
Location was quite good. Receptionist was lovely and very helpful. Very clean and tidy. Loved seeing the Big Bottle trees in the streets and especially the largest one in Roma which is over 200 years old.
