Explorers Lodge

"Comfortable and homey - The owner of this hostel made me feel welcome and right at home. He was not only accommodating but instrumental in finding a used motorcycle for me to purchase. He also let me tag along downtown to see one of the local bands on a friday night. A great experience." … Explorers Lodge opened in November 1999, in response to a demand for quality, affordable accomodation near the lower Blue Mountains.

Penrith Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by tourist

There is a great shopping centre, great clubs, top quality theatre (up there with inner city venues), great lookout points. The nightclub scene is risky. There is a great live venue for bands, great cycle park. So like everything, it's what you do that makes a place good or bad.

Of course there are no ocean views -- Penrith isn't on the coast.

Comment by JOSH THE EMBO REGULAR

I always go to EMBO Embassy, I've been a regular for almost two years. It's very multicultural with people from numerous ethnicities and backgrounds showing up every week. They have not only live bands but also great DJs not only on weekends but also during the week. Enjoy Embassy because it's the best place to have fun at and to meet the nicest people.

Comment by Paul

Penrith is the best apart from Emu Plains -- there are no ocean views though.

Comment by the 1980's retro chick

Fantastic bands include Inxsive, Achtung Baby (U2 tribute show), One Hit Wonders and the list goes on at the Embassy Hotel. Inner city venues can also bring unsafe nightlife. Penrith offers lots of variety in entertainment. Just be more open minded and adventurous.

Don't mock the Embassy -- I travel hours to see great bands in a great intimate venue. It's not full of racist, speed head junkies.

Comment by Penrith local

I agree, Embassy is like a church! I go there at least once a week. I haven't seen any stabbings either, come to think of it.

Go Embassy Hotel -- they have mad bands perform.

Visit the tin soldier on High Street as it will allow you to open up and expresss your real concerns about the city.

Comment by Rock God

The Embassy Hotel isn't just a venue for live music. I like to think of it as a kind of modern day church, a church where kids come to marry their culture and praise their gods.

Comment by Gordon Humphries

This place is full of redneck speed freaks, needle users, and there are no ocean views, or "beautiful country" views either. Racist bigotry runs rampant, and never ever go the the Embassy hotel, in Penrith. Dangerous and stab-worthy are two ways of describing this sh*tty establishment and surrounding area.

Comment by Rebecca

Penrith is a very exciting place to be especially with its beautiful country and ocean views.
