Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A new skill to learn with an incredibly passionate host, time flew by!
Highly recommend!! Sonja is so knowledgeable and passionate about opals from all the world (but especially passionate about Australian opals), and shares this in such a lovely way. She explains the whole process so simply, and shares her recommendations on which rocks she would choose to shine up with incredible authenticity. She’s along with you for the journey wholeheartedly.
She then teaches and guides you through the steps, making sure together you make the most of each stone.
I left with some beautiful opals and I’m so happy with how we got them to where we are.
Sonja is an incredible teacher, super supportive and is a joy to be around.
Bonus: She also has two very cute dogs - go and meet them.
You will become completely immersed in the experience and lose all track of time. This is the perfect way to spend your time escaping reality (and learning a new skill) in the Mudgee region.

Best money I've ever spent!
Jun. 2020
This workshop was absolutely the best money I have ever spent! Sonja was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and her passion and love for opals and precious stones is contagious! I left with three beautiful opals, (one of which is apparently worth around $500!). I will definitely be sending one of them back to Sonja to have a ring made. She has two beautiful dogs and two cats, so her place is heaven for animal lovers! I will most definitely be doing the workshop again with friends in tow! Thanks again Sonja!

My partner and I had way more fun than we expected and learnt so much about opals. The opals we polished were so beautiful and we would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and informative activity in the blue mountains. Thank you!!
