The Property — Littomore Hotels and Suites
A pragmatic base near Bathurst's main drag, Littomore Hotels and Suites trades on straightforward comfort rather than frills. The lobby feels like a functional pit-stop: laminate floors, a front desk that gets you keys fast, and a faint smell of industrial carpet cleaner. It suits motorists needing a clean, secure overnight stop before heading to the Mount Panorama circuit or the city centre a short drive away.
Chronicles of Bathurst
Bathurst, founded in 1815 on Wiradjuri land as Australia's oldest inland settlement, quickly became a gold-rush hub and the administrative centre of the central west. Its grid of Victorian and Edwardian stone buildings recalls a colonial boomtown, while the neo-Gothic All Saints' Cathedral and the historic Courthouse dominate the skyline. Today, the town is best known for the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit (opened 1938) and its annual Bathurst 1000 endurance race, which draws tens of thousands. Away from the track, a slow-gentrification wave has brought decent coffee roasters, a revived art scene, and a growing foodie reputation centred on local lamb and wine.
Best Time to Visit
Full Bathurst guide →Best months
March-April and October-November offer mild daytime highs (18-22°C) and low rainfall, with race crowds absent and accommodation rates stable.
Peak / festival surge
October is peak, driven by the Bathurst 1000 (usually second weekend). Hotel rates can double or triple; book months ahead. The town floods with race fans, and traffic grinds to a halt around the circuit.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are true shoulder months: cooler (7-16°C) but mostly dry, with 20-30% lower room rates than summer and the main tourist attractions uncrowded.
Weather & packing
Bathurst sits at 650m elevation, so even summer evenings drop sharply — pack a fleece or light jacket for after sundown regardless of season. Explicit packing rule: always bring a windproof layer; the prevailing westerlies can turn a mild day chilly in minutes.
Live City Briefing — Bathurst
- The Bathurst Bypass (part of the A2 widening) is complete; traffic on the Great Western Highway through town is much lighter, but note ongoing lane closures near Kelso for median works.
- The Bathurst Heritage Museum at the old TAFE building has reopened after a three-year renovation, with new exhibits on the 1851 gold rushes and Wiradjuri history.
- Kite & Key, a specialty coffee bar and bakery, opened on Keppel Street in March 2026; it's worth a detour for sourdough and single-origin pour-overs.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Littomore Hotels and Suites, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, such as the top floor, to minimize potential noise disturbance from passing traffic on Charlotte Street. Charlotte Street is a relatively busy road, but the noise should be less pronounced on the upper floors. Given the hotel's layout, rooms on higher floors are likely to be more secluded and quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the front entrance, as they may be more prone to noise from guests and staff entering and exiting the hotel. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience occasional noise disturbance from its operation.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Charlotte Street does not provide a notable scenic view. However, guests on higher floors may have a view of the surrounding cityscape, but this will be limited.
Quietest floors
The top floor, which is the third floor, is likely to be the quietest due to its distance from the street and potential noise sources.
🔊 Noise notes
Charlotte Street is a busy road, and guests can expect some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the hotel's lift may occasionally cause some noise disturbance.
Insider tips
Take advantage of the on-site parking for $15 AUD per night, but be aware that it's first-come-first-served, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot. If you're planning to explore the city, consider using the nearby Keppel Street public car park, which is $10 AUD per day, a more affordable option.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
