The Sunset Suite in Sonja's B&B made a refreshing change from our usual motel stays. The unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our needs, even if the en suite was a little 'bijou'. We had booked 2 nights but only stayed 1 as no-one told us that most of Lightning Ridge's attractions, shops and restaurants close down 'for the season'. This is no reflection on Sonja's as we would have been very happy to stay there.
