About Us

Sonja's Bed and Breakfast is your home away from home in Lightning Ridge, the heart of Australia's black opal country. Sonja's is a perfect home base for a visit to the fascinating opal mining town of Lightning Ridge, on the edge of the outback in north western NSW. They have four self-contained units with homely furniture, comfortable beds with quality linen and doonas. Up to 10 people can enjoy comfortable accommodation. At Sonja's Bed and Breakfast you are just a stone's throw away from rejuvenating in the therapeutic waters of the Hot Artesian Baths. Visit John Murray's Art Gallery and other local arts and crafts, or the fascinating Amigo's Castle and Astronomer's Monument. Kangaroos, wallabies and birds are plentiful on the opal fields just a short stroll from Sonja's. Try your luck fossicking for opal, and don't forget to relax on the balcony to watch the magical sunrises and sunsets.
