Black Gold Motel Ranked Among the World’s Best Hotels Again

TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award Recognition

We are thrilled to announce that Black Gold Motel has once again been recognised in the prestigious TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards, placing us among the top 1% of hotels worldwide for the second consecutive year.

This incredible achievement celebrates the dedication, hospitality and unforgettable experiences that our guests have shared with us throughout the year.

Recognised Among the World’s Best Hotels

Black Gold Motel has proudly achieved:

  • Top 1% of Hotels Worldwide
  • #4 Hotel in Australia
  • #5 Hotel in the South Pacific

For our family-owned business in Wallerawang, this recognition represents years of passion, commitment and genuine care for every guest who walks through our doors.

Powered by Guest Experiences

What makes this award truly special is that it is not decided by industry judges or panels. The TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based entirely on the reviews and ratings shared by travellers who have stayed, dined and experienced Black Gold throughout the year.

To every guest who has visited us, enjoyed a meal, attended an event, recommended us to friends, or supported our journey in any way — thank you.

Your kind words, feedback and continued support are what make achievements like this possible.

A Celebration of Our Team

Behind every great guest experience is an incredible team.

We are incredibly grateful to our staff, whose dedication, professionalism and attention to detail are at the heart of everything we do. This recognition belongs to every member of the Black Gold family who helps create memorable stays for our guests every day.

From Local Landmark to Global Recognition

The Black Gold story began in 1995, when Robert and Linda purchased an old school in Wallerawang and began transforming it into something truly special.

From those humble beginnings to being recognised among the best hotels in the world for the second year running — it has been an incredible journey.

We are proud of how far we have come and excited for the future ahead.

Celebrating Regional Tourism Success

We would also like to congratulate our friends at Quest Orange on their recognition in this year’s TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards.

As fellow Central West NSW tourism operators, it is wonderful to see regional businesses achieving national and international recognition.

The Central West continues to showcase some of the finest accommodation and hospitality experiences Australia has to offer.

Thank you for being part of the Black Gold story. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
