Had an excellent stay at the George Hotel, liked location and rooms. The restaurant was fabulous for dinner, we ordered freshly cooked dishes. Even though it had not so nice views, its bathroom was huge.

Funny staff, great value for money. Perfect food, scenic view, perfect service. Our double room was equipped with coffee, climate control and balcony. Historic location, a short walk to st. Andrew's church. We appreciated the Thai cuisine in the restaurant. Pool was amazing too.

Set only 400 metres away, angel lane chippie is a wonderful place to eat nearby. Not far from Penrith Museum and other tourist attractions. We can recommend it with confidence. Free Wi-Fi was available there;)))
