About this property

Steps to Beach, Bites and Bars. Squeaky clean stay!

Immaculate, welcoming, and stocked with thoughtful extras our guests love!

The location is excellent - for our group that enjoyed swimming, access to the coast walk and good dining and bar options. What really stood out was that this place is stocked with everything you could need - beach towels, a full kitchen, endless coffee pods, a big milk, a Bluetooth music box… there’s a lot of attention to detail and we didn’t want for anything.

Great location and great host. This is a perfect place to stay in Newcastle. Close to the beach, on the tram line, tons of nice restaurants and bars. The house was roomy and the host stocked it fully with everything you might need. The owner worked to get us in early and was in constant contact to see if we needed anything. She was great.

A wonderful stay in Newcastle!From the moment we arrived, Danielle’s warm welcome card set a beautiful tone for the weekend. The home was spotless, thoughtfully styled, and had everything we needed to feel completely comfortable. Danielle’s attention to detail and personal touches made our stay extra special, it truly felt like a home away from home.We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a more relaxing getaway to attend one of our dear friend Shannon's 50th Birthday. Highly recommend staying here thank you, Danielle, for making our weekend in Newcastle so memorable!

Great weekend away stay

My partner wanted to bring his bicycle and do a tour in the morning. I stayed in the house. It offered lots more room to move than any of the hotels offered. The location is great. The pub nearby had food on offer till the late hours and had a nice atmosphere. The coffeeshops nearby had great breakfast and wonderful service. Loved our stay
