8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Great staff, allowed for an early check in. All around one of the easiest stays ever. The room was OK due to the age of the building but location is top shelf. Would go back again and thanks to all the staff especially front desk.

Horseshoe Beach

With pristine white sand and space to spread out, this is one of Newcastle’s most beautiful beaches and it’s just steps from the city center action.

Nobbys Head Beach

4.5/5(6 reviews)

Overlooked by a 19th-century lighthouse atop a rocky headland, this beach and its long breakwater wall are perfect for sunset strolls and romantic moments.

A great little park right near the Newcastle train station. Perfect little place to take the kids and have a family picnic. Lots of open spaces and plenty of birds to watch.
Such a lovely spot to enjoy in the day.
