teatrea said..Where is a good place to stay close by?By good I mean cheap

Here are some options for those travelling who want to stay near the regatta facility at Penrith:
- Nepean River Holiday Village [ very popular and may already be fully booked - but check it out]
- Mercure Penrith - $155/room per night (based on 2 persons per room twin Share) in their standard Rooms
- Penrith Valley Inn
- Penrith Lakes BnB
Some of the crew from Sydney / Northern Beaches will be staying up the road in the Blue Mountains which is a beautiful area and an easy drive down to Penrith. The Blue Mountains Music Festival is on at Katoomba over the same weekend with some excellent acts playing.
www.bmff.org.au/In general, Penrith Regatta Centre is easy to get to on main roads - if you have a car it would be comfortable to stay within a 10-15 km radius without any problems.
The SPSC organising committee will try and help any competitors with accommodation options, travel questions etc. Please feel free to post questions in this forum or email queries via spsc@mail.tidyclub.com.
