Wind down or live it up; Bar Beach has lots to offer. Savour the delights of popular Darby Street eateries after a swim at beautiful Bar Beach. If relaxing in the courtyard is your thing, the private pebbled entryway takes you to your hideaway apartment where you can wind down among the plants in your own, private courtyard. With a kitchenette on hand equipped with bar fridge, microwave and hot plate you can keep your food and drinks cool and fresh.

While the property's location presented a minor challenge during initial navigation, it ultimately provided a pleasant retreat, conveniently situated near the beach. My three-night stay featured clean and well-maintained accommodations. However, the bed being a double bed proved somewhat restrictive for a guest of my height of 6'4" and the television's size and lack of modern streaming capabilities warrant consideration for an upgrade. The absence of cooking facilities was not a personal concern, though it may be a factor for guests seeking self-catering options. Fortunately, the local area boasts numerous excellent cafes, with Lola's Cafe and Autumn Rooms being particularly noteworthy for their quality meals and coffee, effectively mitigating the need for in-room cooking. Overall, my experience in Newcastle was positive and enjoyable.

Lovely stay

The location of the property was awesome. So close to the beach and the main area of Newcastle, we loved being able to go to breakfast with a stroll to the beach. Had an issue with wifi which the hosts resolved. All amenities provided to make it a comfy stay. We had no issues but wouldn't recommend if you have mobility issues as the passageways to access the apartment is by narrow lanes around the side of the main property.

Pleasant

Nice spot, parking could be a challenge given the location & we became aware it really was at the back of a house - there wasn't much acoustic separation, could hear the occupants walking around & going about their daily tasks which was a bit disconcerting. Other than that it was clean & tidy, & good location for shops & beach access

Lovely little flat

The seven pines place is exactly as described. Very close to cafes and beaches. I loved and appreciated the extras that were supplied and would recommend a stay here. My only issue was on street parking was a bit tricky during the day if you left due to the gym across the road but okay at night

Fab spot

We loved our stay at bar beach - walking distance to Darby street and the beach and a perfect little hideaway. Only small thing was we checked in when it was dark and found it tricky to find the sign and the apartment. Our tip is go right to the back and keep on going! We had the best time in Newcastle!

The hideaway was perfect for a long, relaxing weekend in Newcastle, with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Comfy bed, great shower, a lovely peaceful courtyard.
