The Neighborhood:
Newcastle is a city that combines city living with stunning beaches. This metropolis boasts everything from stunning beaches to unique street art, to iconic oceans baths and cool cafes.

The Bathers Way is a premier coastal walk, which stretches six kilometres across stunning vistas from Merewether Baths all the way to Nobbys Beach. From every step of the walk, you’ll find spectacular views showcasing the golden sands of Newcastle and Nobbys Lighthouse. With the rich history of this area, you’ll be left in awe.

Newcastle Foreshore is a park which spans 11 hectares, kissing the border of the harbour, beaches, and culturally significant sites. This reclaimed land offers stunning views of the harbour and is an excellent place to settle down for a relaxing picnic. The playground offers an excellent escape for the kids while parents enjoy the serenity of the area. Once you’ve finished exploring, make sure to head to one of the many nearby eateries.

The Blackbutt Nature Reserve spans an impressive 182 hectares of amazing bushland, and with free entry to wildlife exhibits, this is the perfect setting for a family day out. Whether you want to admire the wildlife from afar or get up close and personal to feed the emus, there’s plenty for the whole family. For those with kids, be sure to purchase an activity pack to venture on a scavenger hunt.

Newcastle Museum is a vibrant centre with constantly rotating exhibits. Some local treasures honour the history of the Hunter Nurses of the Great War, the Model T Ford, Indigenous history and culture, and other history beloved to the region.

Only two hours north of Sydney, Newcastle is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city without being too far removed from everything.

Beautiful views and walks
Stunning views of Newcastle and close to beaches, the city, Darby St and lots of delicious food. The house has plenty of rooms and seperate spaces. Steep stairs to access all areas of house and garden, be conscious of access needs. A few little fix ups needed, like light bulbs, outside bins sorted and cleaned, a thorough clean and dust - but overall a great house.

Pros - Relaxed vibe, Large living, Dining and Deck, Comfy beds, great view. Cons - second bathroom is dated and shower is tiny, some of the lower bedrooms need a freshen up, unexpected road noise.
