Nepean by Gateway Lifestyle Holiday Parks
A quiet riverside park footsteps from Tench Reserve
About this stay
Nepean by Gateway Lifestyle Holiday Parks suits travellers drawn to the outdoors more than the CBD, sitting a few minutes' walk from Tench Reserve along the Nepean River. Mornings here tend to start with a walk through the reserve before the day warms up enough for the pool, which becomes the natural centre of an afternoon on site. The Orchard is a 7 minute walk away for dinner without needing a car, and Nepean Shores sits just across the road. With only 3 stars and a small handful of reviews behind it, this is a simple, low-key park rather than a polished resort, and it suits travellers happy to trade extras for proximity to the river and its walking trails. Sydney Airport is close to an hour away by taxi, and considerably longer by public transport, so this reads as a Penrith-area base rather than a stopover.

Our take
I recommend Nepean by Gateway Lifestyle Holiday Parks to travellers who prefer a pool and easy access to nature over a city hotel. Tench Reserve is a four-minute walk, The Orchard a seven-minute walk for dinner, and air conditioning, Wi-Fi and free parking are included. With few reviews so far, it has a shorter track record than busier properties, so read the latest guest comments before booking. Choose it for a quiet, riverside holiday-park feel.
- ✓Walk to Tench Reserve first thing in the morning, since it sits minutes away and is at its best before the heat sets in.
- ✓Head to The Orchard for dinner rather than expecting an on-site restaurant, as it is a short 7 minute walk from the park.
- ✓Confirm parking and Wi-Fi details ahead of your stay, since this is a smaller park with fewer reviews than the bigger hotels nearby.
Why we love it

Why guests love itNepean by Gateway Lifestyle Holiday Parks is a three-star holiday park for travellers who would rather have a pool and nature nearby than a city hotel. Tench Reserve is a four-minute walk, and The Orchard is a seven-minute walk for a meal. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and free parking are included. It has only a handful of guest reviews, so I would treat it as a quiet, well-rated but lightly tested option.
