Rydges Mount Panorama Bathurst – Bathurst

Location is really great. Staff pleasant and professional. Restaurant food is average at best. There’s been a drop in standards since our last visit in 2019. The quality of food in 2019 was to a high standard with a great menu. It’s the reason we returned in 2022. We’ll be checking restaurant and room reviews before we book next time just in case it’s the whole establishment that is in decline.

RACE TRACK VIEW, CLEAN ROOM, INCREDIBLE BATHROOM, COMFORTABLE BED. PERFECT!!!! Located right next to the racetracks just tops it off. Wake up, walk onto the balcony and you can smell the fresh burnt rubbers coming from the tracks. Beautiful. Rooms super clean, loved the bath tub, and the beds were on another level.

It's a great iconic place to stay thats for sure. The rooms are good, although the bath/shower means anyone over 6ft hits the roof with their head. The thinking behind it baffled me. Waking up over Conrod straight is awesome But the food is ordinary in the restaurant, the service by the bar staff is nothing but rude and over priced. If you hate your job that much guys get a new one.

The room was clean and well appointed. The whole place was obviously sited and built-for-purpose. Location: one either likes being right on top of a race track with an amazing view and audio of several sites crucial to team success, or one doesn't. Outside race days, this iconic circuit draws would-be hot-car racers who need to do a lap ... under 60kmh, yes, but, in first gear, the turbo / supercharger and exhaust combine in a symphony to the informed, a cacophony to the uninformed... Staff gave excellent service! Food was excellent. Three complaints that are probably easily fixed: 1.The lack of insect screens on the balcony door meant no fresh air and a difficult sleep. Yes, there is air-conditioning, but the room got stuffy. 2.The balcony door open also meant enduring the cigarette smoke and conversations of people on other balconies. Conversations I will live with, but I thought the whole site would be smoke free? 3. Parking... plenty, but there would be more usable spaces if the drivers of the very large, obviously fast and expensive cars could be persuaded to take up only one space each. Or some spaces be bigger?

We really enjoyed the experience. Very accommodating staff who couldnt do enough for you. Personal service was great. Room was clean and a good layout. The view was tremendous. Will be staying there again.
