Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newcastle

Great cabin located inside the Eaglereach Wilderness retreat. This particular cabin was nice and private, tucked away from the other houses. It had everything we needed for a comfy stay, and enough games to keep our kids entertained on a VERY rainy day! The facilities in the complex are great too: pool, outdoor gym, playground, small dam (for paddling), tennis court and rec room with pool table and ping pong table. A great holiday spot, all within east reach of Sunday. Sensational views too!

Absolutely loved our stay at Vicki and Roger’s cabin in Hunter Valley! The place was super cozy, clean, and surrounded by beautiful views — perfect for a relaxing break. Vicki and Roger were such lovely hosts, really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone heading to the area!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Susan’s place! Her house was incredibly cozy and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Susan was also very accommodating and responsive to all our needs, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended! DJDVE

Had a wonderful weekend in the hunter and the accommodation was excellent highly recommend

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

We absolutely loved staying at Armando's place and felt very much at home! Each room met our needs perfectly, and the gardens were so lovely! It was great to see the many accessible features that were very tastefully done also. a great place to stay!

Cute cosy cottage in the middle of Cessnock, with enough outdoor space to give the dog some roaming space (and zoomies!), good central location where you can walk to the local pub and butcher, there’s Halls Park nearby green for a morning or evening dog walk too. Overall great value for money!

We stayed at Cadair Cottage 2 for two nights. It is such a beautiful place, and we had the most wonderful, relaxing time in pristine surroundings! Bonus: the cows come wandering past every morning. Simone will respond very quickly to any messages/requests. We also did the wine tour with Dan, which was 100% amazing! Had a great time, Dan is an excellent tour guide and knows an incredible amount about wine. Goes above and beyond, and is just an all-round lovely guy. Thank you so much for having us, Simone & Dan! If I could, I would have loved to stay here forever.

Beautiful property, backed by an amazing host. You won’t be disappointed to stay here! Thank you for such a great weekend away.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

logement spacieux, propre et très bien équipé. notre séjour fut vraiment agréable. Roger et son épouse sont très accueillants. bon ancrage pour parcourir Port Stephens. super rapport qualité/prix. nous recommandons.

This listing was spacious, comfortable and had everything you need for a great weekend in the Hunter valley. Easy, secure parking and two great decks to enjoy

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

Victoria was a wonderful host and the location was perfect. so peaceful and just what I was looking for. There was easy access to the mountain for a bush walk and spectacular views of the bay. The unit was equipped with everything we needed. would recommend for a peaceful stay.

We live in the area and just needed a place to crash while we had some work done at home. The house is beautiful and airy and instructions were crystal clear. We loved having a little staycation in the best suburb in Newy!

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

Amazing place. Felt really special the moment you stepped in. Tim has thought about every possible thing you would need for you stay. Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

Carol and Terry are very friendly and very lovely hosts. Their place is lovely with beautiful surrounds, very close to zoo - you can see giraffes in the morning and hear lions roaring at sunset - likey being on safari! There is an excellent hot tub. Beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Micah and Denny’s place was perfect! They were so responsive with messages and the house is exactly as it looked in pictures. The area is easy to reach, picturesque and tranquil.

Fantastic property with thoughtful hosts; a wonderful choice for families and kids of all ages. Well maintained amenities and attention to detail made our stay with extended family a delight. The heated pool was a hit - even when it rained - and it was easy to get in and out safely for both the toddler and senior in our group. The wood fire pizza oven is definitely worth cranking for dinner or just to hang in the mini-amphitheatre. The playhouse, car and trampoline kept our little one very entertained. Every room was immaculate and beautifully designed. We were even treated to some local produce courtesy of our host - thanks Lauren! A magical location and very peaceful. Just 10 minutes walk to town and if you’re up for exploring, follow the ‘secret’ track to Wreck beach via the bushland at the rear of the garden. Highly recommend.

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Great New Years experience. The cottage was in a private area, but still close to different sites like the Hunter Valley Gardens, it was a great getaway from the city!!

We had an amazing stay at Daniel and Sasha’s place in Picketts Valley! From the start, they were incredibly communicative and made everything seamless. The home was spotless and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The highlight was definitely the heated pool—such a treat! The property itself is peaceful and beautifully set in nature, yet still conveniently close to nearby attractions. Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking for a perfect escape. We’d love to come back!

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part
