Nearly new motel just out of Lithgow shopping area. Well-appointed, clean room. Great food in the their restaurant is definitely a bonus as is the gym. Not a huge range of equipment, but definiitely enough for a workout away from home. Ample parking and free internet.

The Bowen Inn is a well equipped motel and probably the best in Lithgow. I have stayed on half a dozen occasions for work. While the price of around $140 is a bit more than others in Lithgow, it is very quiet (free from highway noise) and has free wifi.

We stayed on a Sunday night on our way to Sydney after failing to find anywhere decent in Katoomba and backtracking to Lithgow. The room was comfy and well appointed. The restaurant was closed which was unfortunate but understandable. Our only issue was that we couldn't get any fresh air without leaving the door open because there were no windows.... More

We had booked a last minute room for a night at the Bowen Inn, while visiting the Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves. Because it was so affordable, I didn't have high expectations. When we arrived, to say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! The room was spotless, beautifully decorated and just lovely! The restaurant has an amazing menu... More

I read the good reviews and decided to try this place out myself when driving through Lithgow. I had the spa room. No complaints whatsoever. It was very quiet, peaceful and modern. I wish I could have stayed longer and I will definitely return!

Stayed here with the family over Bathurst 1000 weekend. Apart from being new and a great location, the staff made this place memorable. All of them (both at reception and in the dining room) were so friendly & helpful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and breakfast (included) was available early enough for us to get off to the track.... More

Spent two nights here for business, and it is pretty much all you could ask from a regional small town motel. Good room sizes, friendly staff, and great food in the restaurant. I think they've done the rooms up recently as ours looked pretty good. Being right on the highway, access is pretty easy, but also a bit of truck... More

Well appointed rooms, excellent housekeeping - even my soap was changed daily - nicely finished restaurant and adequate parking. located a few minutes drive from Lithgow shops, and sited below road level so there was no noise from the highway, at least on my side of the motel, near reception.

I can't recommend this place enough. I was always cynical about motels but the Bowen was just lovely. The rooms are clean and roomy. The king sized bed was really comfortable and had an electric blanket. The spa was lovely also. What made the difference was the staff. They went out of their way to make our stay lovely, and...
