Bar Beach Lux Ground Floor Apartment 100m to beach
Had a great stay here. Awesome location, right across from Bar Beach and good walking paths along the coast. Dave was quick to respond and helpful. Have already recommended this place to a friend.

The Lookout - Ocean & City Views
What a great apartment. We loved the view from the balcony, over the city and towards the Anzac Walk. The appartment is right on the walkway along the beach and has great access down the Merewether Baths one way and up and over Cooks Hill the other. The girls’ recommendations for local food and coffee were spot on. We could not fault the cleanliness and comfort of the whole apartment and the little touches, tea/coffee, condiments and milk were appreciated. Thank you for hosting us Carly and Katie. We will be back for sure!

Apartment Newcastle Beach
A stones throw away from the beach. A flight of stairs to a popular world class restaurant. Less than 10 minutes drive to all other amenities. Secure parking. Charming apartment with everything I needed. And a responsive host. I highly recommend staying here!

Seabreeze - Beachfront - Parking - Views
This was a very convenient location to stay and close to the wedding we attended. Spectacular views and very comfortable unit which was great, given the weather was cold and windy and we needed a place to be warm and cozy. Conveniently located for nice walks and close to public transport. Would very happily stay there again. We received a very quick response when we phoned when the garage door was broken. Thank you Carly and Katie.

Thanks Kenny for a great stay beautiful spot.

Sandy Point Beach House - on the waterfront!
Amazing house with incredible waterfront views. The house opens onto the water so was great to do all the non-motorised water activities. The place has plenty of non-motorised equipment like kayaks, surfboards, buoys so we had a fantastic time spending all day on the water. The interior has lots of break out areas as well to relax and enjoy including front and backyard patio and large balcony.

We had a great stay at Arabella. Very well furnished with high quality furniture, appliances and all the kitchenware you could ever need.

My group of 8 with seniors and children enjoyed themselves and look forward to coming back!
