NOAH'S On The Beach
Fantastic views over Newcastle and South Newcastle beaches. Check in/out was smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was provided at no extra cost. The rooms are extremely well maintained and serviced. Was the second time in 2 weeks we’ve stayed there. The property is close to restaurants ...

Jesmond Executive Villas
No pay tv although the listing said it was available. I couldn’t cast from my phone to the tv as the tv wasn’t compatible and needed to update the server. Contacted staff and they were no help at all regarding this.

The Executive Inn
All the staff were very accommodating. We had a lovely big renovated room with twin beds. The outdoor spa in the pool area is warm enough to use going into winter. Lovely fresh breakfast. There are currently renovations/construction noise, but we were out and about most of it anyhow.

Rydges Newcastle
Great location and overall a decent stay. Nothing fancy but clean and updated rooms. The hallways and stairs could use a more frequent vaccum :) The basement parking has EV chargers (paid) which is great.
