Rydges Mount Panorama Bathurst

It was a cold and windy weekend in Bathurst, the weekend that snow fell in the New England ranges and cut roads, and Bathurst was catching the full brunt of the wind and rain. So we were depressed at being in town in this weather and really didn't care much about anything beyond a room and a heater. Imagine our shock and awe when we found every room has a direct view of Conrod Straight and the chicane. We were so happy being so close to the greatest icon of Australian touring car motorsport and can only imagine what it is like during race weekend.

Room was large and spacious. Outdoor setting available to use outside was a lovely bonus. The bed had been made into a King but travelling with my father, we asked for it to be made into a twin which the staff sorted for us while we had dinner - thank you. Having a kitchenette was perfect. Meal we had Friday night was good - we had the beef and chicken burgers. Location was perfect - we were visiting for the Heritage Craft Trail event. Shampoo and conditioner were lovely

Firstly the location at the Chase on Conrod straight was unbelievable with the view of the track and The Mountain. The 3 bed, 2 bath apartment exceeded every expectation i had with spa baths in each bathroom and king beds in each room. Although it was the night after one of the big races of the year the staff were incredible attending to my last minute booking and arranged an early check in, also letting us access the laundry even earlier to get some washing done. Chole on the front desk was amazing and nothing was too much trouble despite the huge weekend they had. It has been a dream to stay in this hotel (not even in a suite) and i was not disappointed at all in any aspect. Even if not a racing weekend i would absolutely suggest staying here over any other hotel in Bathurst.

Fantastic views. Close to everything and staff was helpful. We had s good break. PS. I'm not sure if this is good or bad story. but while we were there, a kid threw up in the pool, but his mum just left without telling anyone. We only realised when we saw the floating vomit. Staff did fantastic work by closing down the pool as soon as I notified and cleaned up the pool. And we had the chance to go to the pool the next day. Thank you.

Room was comfortable, huge and quiet, just what we needed
