Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley by IHG
Indoor pool and spa near Governor Phillip Park
About this stay
This is one of the more complete stops in the area for genuine recovery: an indoor pool and hot tub that work regardless of the weather, a spa for those wanting to properly unwind, and two restaurants so dinner never means a drive elsewhere. The fitness centre suits anyone keeping up a routine on a longer road trip, and free parking and Wi-Fi cover the practical side. Governor Phillip Park sits a short taxi away, giving a green outdoor option to pair with the indoor facilities. It sits further out than central Penrith, which trades some proximity for a quieter, more resort-like feel, well suited to a deliberate rest day rather than a quick overnight.

Our take
This suits couples and families wanting a proper pause with an indoor pool, spa and two restaurants on hand, especially useful in poor weather or the depths of summer heat. The distance from central Penrith is the trade-off. Travellers wanting to stay close to Penrith's restaurants and nightlife should consider a more central property instead of this quieter, more self-contained hotel.
- ✓Book a spa treatment in advance if unwinding properly is the point of the stop.
- ✓Use the indoor pool regardless of weather, it is one of the more reliable options in the area.
- ✓Allow extra time getting to the airport, this property sits further out than central Penrith.
