Central West: where to stay, where to eat, where the locals drink.
Pub accommodation in the Central West puts you in the middle of three very different country towns. Mudgee is wine country, and both the Paragon Hotel and the Woolpack Hotel are traditional pubs in town — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, cellar doors a short drive away. Bathurst is the home of Mount Panorama, and The Panorama Hotel Motel is a base for the circuit and the town year-round. Further west, the Court House Hotel in Narromine makes an easy stop on the way to Dubbo.
These are good-value country stays, run by the people behind the bar. Enquire directly with the publican and you'll get a straight answer on rates and availability — no booking fees on top.

Affordable pub accommodation in the Central West
A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and every one of the 4 Central West pubs listed here is run by its publican. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Most publicans here quote directly rather than publishing rates online — send an enquiry with your dates and they'll come back with a price.
The value is in what's downstairs, too. All 4 pubs serve meals on site, so dinner is a flight of stairs away rather than a drive. 3 of the 4 pubs have parking for guests.
Traditional pubs in the Central West
2 of these are traditional pubs — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
