Black Gold Motel  

Perched in the Seven Valleys on the edge of Wallerawang, about 12 km from Lithgow. You’re set inside national-park country with big valley views and a relaxed country vibe. Old Wallerawang Station and Charles Darwin Park are right nearby. Blue Mountains National Park is roughly 32.7 km away and Marrangaroo National Park about 7.3 km. Outdoor draws like the Glow Worm Tunnel, Zig Zag Railway, Capertee Valley, Jenolan Caves and Wolgan Valley are all within day-trip range.

Housed in the old Wallerawang School (built 1881), this Victorian motel blends heritage bones with clean, comfortable rooms. Family-owned and award-winning, it keeps a unique, lived-in character rather than a cookie-cutter hotel feel. There are 41 air-conditioned rooms with in-room fridges and microwaves, flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Rooms include showers and hair dryers plus kettles with free tea/instant coffee, and some rooms open onto terraces with valley views.

Take in the scenery from the terrace, fire up the picnic area or the barbecue grills, and stay connected with complimentary wireless internet. Free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk make arrivals easy. The property also offers tour/ticket assistance, a daily complimentary reception, a banquet hall (Barton Centre) for bigger events, laundry and ironing services, plus room service during limited hours. Weekday cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee.

Equipped for meetings and events with a business center, conference center and meeting rooms, including the state-of-the-art Barton Centre. Express check-in and express check-out keep schedules tight, and complimentary Wi‑Fi helps you stay online.

The on-site Crib Room Restaurant features a bar/lounge for laid-back meals and drinks. Room service is offered during limited hours if you prefer to dine in. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served on weekdays from 5:30 AM to 9:30 AM for a fee, so you can fuel up before heading out to explore the valleys and nearby attractions.
