Hideaway apartment in bustling beachside suburb, short walk to city attractions

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. Explore a myriad of cycle-paths and waterfront walks or visit the nearby art gallery or museum. When night falls take a leisurely walk to the beach for a sunset kissed picnic, take a trip to the theatre or dance the night away in our local watering holes.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and a dining table.

This is a lovely, quiet, secluded space with a beautiful, private courtyard. The kitchen is basic, as described, but that was fine for me, as I was mostly eating out. The hosts were kind and communicative when I reached out to ask questions.

Great location with proximity to beach and City. Only issue is finding parking on a busy street. The access to the flat is also tight.

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
