Castle Hill is far from Sydney. 45 minutes from the Airport, 30 minutes to the city. But: if you are looking to relax, shopping malls in Castle Hill and Parramatta are highly recommended, The bar scene is Australian easy and okay. Good restaurants in the hotel itself or Parramatta (20 minutes car). Deep-sea fishing success and had brought the catch in the hotel kitchens. Evenings there was a tasty "Leatherjacket" as it didn't work- with a better although stilbrechenden but exquisite pfälzischer Reisling. A dream! The rooms in the new wing was large, clean, with a double bed, sofa and flat screen. The pool was very clean. Free parking. With a rental car good connections to Parramatta, Sydney city, "The Mean 'Fiddles Rchtg Windsor, Blue Mountains.
