Our family stay at the Old Postie was very comfortable and warm.So many beds!!We were quite warm in our snuggly beds (pre warmed by electric blankets) and turned the A/C off during sleep time as the home retained enough of the heat despite the chilly evenings.FYI there are actually 3 toilets.. 2 inside and another just outside the exterior entry door, plus two showers.The large stove/oven was a great size for a larger group.The use of the shed/garage for our vehicles to protect against frost was a welcome bonus. The doors are high enough that our mid sized SUVs with a roof box were not an issue!Thanks Pat for the eggs/bacon/milk & butter plus extra condiments/spices/cuppa provisions. So welcoming!

Rustic homestead

A quiet location, about 15 mins past Lithgow. Accommodation was comfortable and warm even though it was around 2° overnight. A substantial breakfast was in the fridge on arrival. Our stay was to babysit the small grandchildren so house was a good size for that.

Quiet and convenient

We chose to stay at The Old Postie Lidsdale as it was convenient to our event in the Blue Mountains and our trip home from our holiday in the Central West. Patricia was a very attentive host who made sure everything was ready for our arrival. She generously provided the makings of a meal for us. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the nights were peaceful, despite being near some busy roads.
