Beach house vacation rentals in Newcastle

You want to stay here. The Sandstone Cottage has an exceptional view and an ideal location. The dwelling is well maintained, very clean and perfectly serviced. Being able to use the provided water toys and kayaks was a bonus for our kids. We found the Sandstone Cottage to be comfortable because of how familiar everything was to us, and convenient because of how the space was so sensibly laid out. There is beauty inside and outside of this house. It rocks.

The house was very nice and in a great location for anyone with dog's. Only 5 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach and half an hour's walk into town. As we haven't been to the area before, Clare's recommendations of things to do were excellent for the whole family.

Tasman was very responsive and helpful throughout the duration of our stay and the place was exactly what we were looking for!

Perfect place to stay with a group or large family. The 3 seperate living areas is really an amazing feature with kids. Would definitely stay again.

caves beach is absolutely beautiful and the Williams house is in a perfect location. Two beaches very close by and walkable and plenty other activities to do in the surrounding. The house is perfectly set up for families with kids and the views are stunning. We actually thought the pictures do not do the views and house justice.

Thanks Julie. House works well for our group. We’ll be back when we’re back in town. Cheers

It was our second time staying at Ross’s place in context of a family vacation with grandparents, my toddler and a baby. We had a great time and love the view from the terrace. Three toilets/bathrooms is a plus. Kitchen is well equipped and the place didn’t feel crowded. Patonga is a beautiful place for a getaway.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Daniel and Sasha’s property in Picketts Valley, what a gorgeous home it is. Everything is just like the photos. We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. With a large family catch up, their place had plenty of space and so much to do for the kids. Apart from the kids swimming in the heated pool and feeding the cutest little ponies every day, the bottom level of the house is a kids playroom. With something to do for all ages. The kids were so entertained. We are a family who love to cook, so the kitchen was fabulous. Lots of boards for a grazing table and a glass of wine in the afternoon watching the sunset with beautiful views. We appreciated the attention to detail and the simple things provided by Daniel and Sasha that made our stay really relaxing. We will be booking with them again. Thanks for making our 4 day break so enjoyable!

We had a great stay. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of space. Very comfortable sitting room. We had a very enjoyable stay. Thoroughly recommended.

The proprietors, Panassa and Nathan, demonstrate outstanding hospitality. Their property is meticulously maintained, showcasing exceptional cleanliness and beauty. The beds provide supreme comfort, while the pool is spotless. All facilities operate seamlessly, and the location offers effortless accessibility and generous spaces, thank you so much we got the most amazing weekend

The Chatlet was a Beautiful stay with three family's the kids loved the pool area and there was enough space for everyone , it was very clean and a lot of space which is great for big family. Was a perfect location if you just want to relax and do nothing with the beach just down the road and a park for the kids. Very tidy and everything you need.

“It’s a private, peaceful, and beautiful house with lots of fun stuff to do. There’s a famous beach and great bushwalking nearby. The owners were super friendly too!”

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

6 friends enjoying an annual getaway found Anna’s fabulous home the perfect place to escape for the weekend. Beautifully appointed, comfortable & very tastefully decorated with everything you need to make your getaway special. The landscaping and pool were a bonus and the proximity to the beach wonderful. The neighbourhood is tranquil and private. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Such a warm cozy and inviting place!! Felt very homely as soon as we got there!! Very clean also!

The fact that this is our third stay says it all. Thank you for being flexible and for welcoming us back. We had such a lovely break. The water, ducks and swans took us away from city living immediately. We so appreciate our home away from home.

Great place for a family holiday. Jac was extremely responsive and checked in with us during our stay. Quiet neighbourhood, close to beach and great coffee shops!

Such a unique house. Plenty of space, walking distance to the ferry into Newcastle CBD and the beach. Host was flexible with earlier check in and later check out but I guess that depends on bookings before and after.

I've never left a review saying this but if I could leave 10 stars I would. Everything was easy and peaceful. The house is absolutely beautiful and Eliza was wonderful to communicate with. We had a very beautiful experience and stay.

Love the location of the property, so close to the shops and the beach. House was comfortable, with a well stocked pantry, we loved the backyard. Host was very responsive, we had a minor issue and it was dealt with instantly! We had a great stay and would recommend it.

The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.

We had an amazing time here. The view of the bay from the balcony was so beautiful and made us feel relaxed immediately. You can tell that Liz and Julian have put a lot of thought into the place and everything was so well looked after! We are huge Lego fans ourselves so seeing many Lego sets and themed items truly made it a memorable stay.
