Oberon Discount Bookings with Darwin Builders

Didn't end up staying there. I drove 4 hours to only be strandard in a remote unfamiliar area sat in the car all night in fear total darkness around a back street because this hotel/pub locked up and left . They had 6 hours to check if they had any bookings. Obviously they didn't as they knocked off work. No emergency contact numbers available. . No access to the room i booked . No access to speak to anyone. The number provided was the pub ph number and clearly I could here it ringing from outside. . I'm in a street with complete darkness. Nothing opened for anyone to help me in a horrible situation. I'm Still waiting for a phone call to atleast apologise. But no ! This buisness Obviously hasn't had any empathy to check my wellbeing considering that put me in a potentially danger situation. It's 10pm and I'm completely strandard. Couldn't sleep in my car as I didn't have a blanket or pillow. I am disgusted that a buisness can treat a human like some wild animal

Friendly town in close proximity to the "Caves". Not much open at night, however I was staying in mid winter. Exploring Jenolan Caves were once again fascinating with my 'bucket list' highlight being abseiling & climbing down the interior of the Elder cave....known as The Plughole!

Gorgeous gorgeous place Friendly locals Variety of shops all in one location. Beautiful scenery. My partner and I visited Mayfield garden and it was divine. Ate at the bar/pub. Everyone was accomodating, friendly and easy to strike a conversation.

There is very limited dining choices especially in the evening. The Royal Hotel does it's best and the food is fair but not great. When the museum is open by the old railway track it is worth a look around.

Nothing special here. The information centre can only mention the caves and a garden. The water garden is lovely enough for someone who does not usually fancy gardens, but it seems it's not always open.

Oberon is a lovely little town with nice little shops along the main street, several tasty options for a meal (we quite enjoyed the RSL), easy to navigate and all of the locals are kind. In the area we enjoyed going out to the dam, to see the heritage railway, the interesting building that is the hospital and the gardens. We adored the Gairloch Garden, which was open while we were there, an absolute delight run by wonderful people if visitors ever get a chance to go there - do it! We also went out to Mayfield Garden during festival time when the entire garden was open which was a wonderful full day experience. I admit, we were in Oberon for a self-directed garden tour and made our way up to the Blue Mountains which was a nice easy drive through lovely countryside and visited Nooroo Garden at Mt Wilson (incredible! Definitely go there!) and the Blue Mountain Botanical Gardens which was incredible. If you are looking for a quaint little town with nice people, sweet shops, humble delicious food and nature to explore, Oberon is a wonderful place to go.
