Best Western Blackbutt Inn

This place is fine for a short stay. It's attached to a pub and there is a bakery and coffee shop just up the road. The bed was horrid but it was clean enough. The pub restaurant was convenient, especially during these COVID times. less

We were very happy to have so many facilities at our doorstep including a spotless pub and restaurant, newsagent, chemist, doctor,bakery and a short walk to visit koalas, kangaroos. many birds and reptiles in an Australian bush setting for FREE!!!! less

Hotel above a pub was a concern but after reading others reviews though a would give it a try , i arrived about 9 pm which was a bit later than usual for me, the kitchen closed and nothing else close by to eat. Checked in first at the bar which was different and then escorted to the post office counter, different but they where organised. Room clean enough and the towels and shower good too. Breakfast good and quick even though it was busy. less

We took advantage of the 'Indulgence Package' which was $135 for room, breakfast, free mini bar and snack bag on arrival. The rooms are decorated modern, clean, large flat screen TV, no noise from the road or the pub underneath, check in was easy and staff friendly and helpful. less

We found our 6 nights at Blackbutt Inn to be ideal for staying near to family while in Newcastle. The hotel provided a comfortable bed, a bathroom where everything worked well, helpful staff and parking under the building was possible. A bonus was proximity to the wonderful patissierie "Euro"! less
