This was the perfect little apartment for our weekend in Newcastle - quiet & private, a short walk to shops, cafes, restaurants & the beach, & only a 20 minute stroll to the CBD. The apartment was amazing value, beautifully decorated, modern & spacious with everything we could need. Definitely recommend staying here & would love to do it again!

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.

Very comfortable, and well equipped. Be aware that you need to walk up a sloped driveway and walk on a narrow loose-stone pathway to reach the apartment.
