Hampton Halfway House

Great beer all year round

Fantastic value, the place is really close to Jenolan caves and Lithgow and an absolute bargain. We like our hotels a little dated, cute and kitschy so the attached pub and dining area were right up our alley. The room was better than expected, it had a good sized new bar fridge, a kettle and a working flat screen TV which was a shock after staying at a $140 hotel nearby that couldn't even provide this much. The room was definitely dated in appearance which is not an issue for us provided it is clean and ours was spotless! The hot water was a little finicky the first day but kicked in after about 5 minutes of running the shower on hot. The dinner was pretty huge, homely fair which was welcome after a hard day of hiking. Over all we would highly recommend this place for the budget conscious and those who love good Old, Old fashioned hospitality! Can't wait to go back and stay so I can photograph the windmills, valley views and cute as pie pub!

I'm OK with basic accommodation, but for $75 per night, you don't even get hot water. In our room, we got COLD water only to enjoy for our showers. Not lukewarm, cold. If you stay more than 1 night, you don't get any kind of "room service". We came back after a day trip to find our rooms the same way we left them. I wouldn't call this a "motel", and by no means a hotel. A big ripoff.
