REVIEWS TELL YOU EVERYTHING ...........
....... so read what the Sydney Morning Herald's journalist for Saturday's 'TRAVELLER' magazine Bruce Elder said when he stayed with his family at 'A Miner's Rest' (unbeknown to us.)
He wrote... 'the cottage was 'A Miner Miracle'. 'The experience of staying in this authentic miner's cottage was delightful'.
AND................
'The perfect base from which to explore at a fair price.
A Miner's Rest will delight! ' (see the full text in the cottage.)
Bruce and family stayed incognito and then the next thIng we knew we had a write-up in the 'Traveller' section of the Sydney Morning Saturday Herald - for which we thank him.

ABOUT A MINER'S REST COTTAGE
This rose-gardened Cottage circa 1896 has been fully restored with quality furnishings to become a comfortable, fully self- contained, relaxing holiday home close to the CBD with aircon and heating at the flick of a switch.
The Lavender bedroom has a queen bed and is heritage in style, romantic and pretty. The Rose bedroom has two single beds with a fold out if necessary. All bedrooms have free, pristine, crisp linen, extra duvets and electric blankets for the colder weather and cool aircon for the summer.
There is a new bathroom with a spacious shower and a large spa with lots of bubbles which will keep the kids entertained for hours, before you try it with candlelight and champagne when they've finally gone to bed!
There is a delightful outside garden setting with a gas BBQ, a child-safe back garden with 6' fences for privacy and a hammock tin which to swing and gaze at the clouds through the trees after a hard day's sightseeing. There is enough enclosed, secure off-street parking for 3 cars, a boat and 'room for a pony' (if you happen to bring one!).
A walk of 4 mts will get you to the local Coles and the 'takeaway' shops in Patton St, and clubs and many more pubs (this IS Broken Hill after all!) are a 3 minute drive into town. (Did you know that in the 1940's it was said that that there was a Pub on every corner?)
There is a fully equiped kitchen with dishwasher where you can cook your sunday roast or just boil an egg and we provide complete laundry facilities if you have something in common with Dame Wash-a-Lot.
Choose from a comprehensive library of family/children's DVDs in the stretch-out comfortable lounge room, with a small selection of toys and games and plenty of novels if you've finished yours..
ALL IN ALL - A GREAT OUTBACK EXPERIENCE AT A REASONABLE PRICE!

SOME LOCAL BROKEN HILL INFORMATION THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU......................
Broken Hill is an ancient land with miraculous sunsets. Mutawinji has wonderful ancient aboriginal art and Mungo National Park is one of the world's foremost archaeological sites.
Silverton, an old mining town, is only a short drive away. Visit the historic Day Dream mine, stop off at the old Silverton Pub where the 'Mad Max' epics were filmed, or ride a camel in the desert. Wander around the art galleries and chat with the artists, photograph the Mundi Mundi plains (which go on forever), or become refreshed in the old cafe on the hill while you enjoy their collections of old bottles, bits and pieces, and old dolls.
Visit the many artist's studios and enjoy the diversity of art in Broken Hill, and of course a visit to Pro Hart's art collection is a must!
Swim or boat at Copi Hollow, Menindee, or the new local swimming pool. Play golf or visit the Living Desert sculptures and enjoy the wild flower and fauna walking trails, where you will see a kangaroos feeding at close range or emus wandering around looking for a handout!
Wander down Argent Street and admire the old buildings. Visit White's Museum which will explain to you how mining works, or take a guided tour around the city's attractions. Visit the Geo Centre full of amazing mineral samples or drive the 40km 'Silver Trail' visiting 113 interesting sites.
Listen in on the 'School of the Air' or visit the Royal Flying Doctor base at the airport, but whatever you do don't miss 'The Big Picture'!
Your only problem with 'Things To Do' is the amount of time you have in Broken Hill - there's always something else to see or another place to go!
HAPPY EXPLORING!
TASTY EATING AND NIGHTLIFE
Cafes, Restaurants, Pubs and Clubs abound! Eating out, or ordering in, is not a problem.
We enjoy the Broken Earth Restaurant on top of the mines for that romantic dinner (a tad expensive tho). Probably better for morning or afternoon tea if you want to admire the view. The Astra Hotel is also an upmarket, relaxing place to dine for a special meal (more reasonable prices, especially the wine).
The Musician's Club is comfortable and meals are Ok only lately. They have child minding and the Internet available.
The Democratic Club do good steaks (cheap but nice meals) as does the Legion Club (dancing on Sat. nights) , and the Mulga Tavern caters for kids and parents alike.
'Alfresco's' is good and reasonably priced, and Pubs are everywhere so you'll not have a problem finding one!
If you would rather do your own thing, Coles a walk away in Patton St, Woolworths supermarket is at Centro and Foodland in Blende St. The town's butchers sell really great meat (try their hogget chops!).
There are plenty of coffee shops in the main street and now we even have a 'Gloria Jeans' in the Visitor's centre - which the locals love.
