Your home away from home. We have 4 individually decorated units in the heart of black opal country.Beautiful gardens with Bougainvillea and bird attracting native trees. A spacious backyard with out door kitchen and BBQ to use at your leisure and mingle with other guests. Watch the birds feeding and the magical Sunsets and Sunrises from top viewing deck. The home was built by a Hungarian and has special wood carvings of hearts throughout the property which gives a warm and welcoming feel.
We welcome you to our home and enjoy having guests stay from all around the world. In past years I have been fortunate enough to be taught fine art by a teacher in town. My Art work can be seen in some rooms.
Lightning Ridge is famous for the Black Opal. Artesian baths, fossicking, John Murray art. Amigos castle. Australian Opal Centre. Opal Mining.
