Wirral Grange Cottage - 3 bed house
Carol and Terry are very friendly and very lovely hosts. Their place is lovely with beautiful surrounds, very close to zoo - you can see giraffes in the morning and hear lions roaring at sunset - likey being on safari! There is an excellent hot tub. Beds were super comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Cooks Hill Chalets - Grande
This home was everything we needed while visiting my in-laws. We were a group of six and the rooms were comfortable, roomy, and inviting. We walked all over. Starting from Jacqui's place we went down to the harbor for dinner one night. One morning stopped for an early morning coffee at The House of Roast then up to the ANZAC Memorial Walk to enjoy the gorgeous ocean. We felt like we were coming home when we arrived at Jacqui's place. The natural light poured into the kitchen eating area. Although we were just too busy to turn on the TV our whole group was very comfy in the living room area. A couple of us needed to work for a stretch online and the wifi worked fine and dandy. We are so glad to have found this special place. ❤️

WINE COUNTRY HOMESTEAD
Amazing accommodation and great Host! We booked Joe's Nulkaba property for a family vacation. From the initial booking till check-out, Joe was very friendly and proactive in providing suggestions/instructions and promptly responded to our messages. The property was simply amazing. Easily fitted our family totalling 12 people + 1 pet. The house was very spacious, clean, accessible, had great views and had loads of eateries/ in walking and quick driving distance. The beds was spacious and comfortable, and bathrooms were squeaky clean. The whole family had a wonderful relaxing time and our fury friend had plenty of space in the back snd front yards to play around. Joe even had a newly setup BBQ machine outside and a bar area inside. Overall, we had an amazing stay and we really appreciate Joe's hospitality and quick responses. We would definitely book this Airbnb in the future and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing time. Thank you once again Joe for the amazing property.

Beach House on Stockton Beach, Newcastle
Lyn's place was lovely, it was in a great location with the ferry close to travel to Newcastle. The house was very tidy with great amenities, kitchen, BBQ & beds. Lyn offered us local information & was very accommodating with anything that we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for something in this area.

Eclectic & Luxurious Home for Friends & Family
Nick and Bianca's place was spacious , beautiful decorated and very functional - our 8 year old was so impressed with the stay he gave us a big pat on the our backs for picking this place :) Our stay in Newcastle was short but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this to friends.

Family / Golf Getaway, Medowie Port Stephens
We had a fantastic stay with everything we needed at the house. The house layout, yard, pool was fantastic. The house was so clean and had literally everything we needed. Great place to stay with family or if you want to be close to the golf course.

Blue Moon Getaway
A beautiful home in a peaceful and quiet location — the perfect getaway. The hosts have thoughtfully included everything you could need for babies, from a cot to a bouncer, which made our stay so much easier. The house is spotlessly clean, and the cozy furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home.

Your guide to Merewether
All About Merewether
Merewether is a coastal neighbourhood in Newcastle on Australia’s southeast coast and home to some of the city’s most well-known beaches. Visitors and locals alike are drawn to Merewether Beach to take advantage of its ideal conditions for surfing, and an international surfing contest attracts pros and sandy-toed spectators from around the world. This stretch of shoreline is also home to the largest ocean baths in the Southern Hemisphere, perfect for sunset dips overlooking the crashing waves.
Merewether’s close proximity to the centre of Newcastle gives you access to all the action downtown in just 20 minutes, from grabbing a flat white at an open-air cafe terrace to sampling the fresh local seafood at one of the area’s elegant eateries among the old miners’ cottages. Merewether is a place to take five and soak up the suburban beach vibe, all while having the breathtaking surrounding rainforests and waterfalls of New South Wales right on your doorstep.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Merewether
The ideal time to visit is the summer — between December and March — which is when the city sees warm, humid days. However, when temperatures are at their highest, it is a great time to cool off in one of the city’s baths like Newcastle Ocean Baths. The city tends to see the majority of its rainfall between March and June, which coincides with the autumn and early winter. Sea temperatures in autumn remain relatively warm, making this a nice time to try surfing. To watch the best in the business, head here for the international surfing competition, which runs for two weeks starting in late January. Springtime is similar in temperature but with less rainfall and cooler waters, so it’s definitely the time of year to plan some hiking and biking at nearby parks.
Top things to do in Merewether
Merewether Ocean Bath
This pool is located right on the water and is an easy 15-minute walk from most parts of Merewether. As you swim here right on the ocean, you may see the waves crash up and over into the pool. Like many coastal cities in the country, Merewether provides these oceanside lanes as a way to get the feeling of swimming in the ocean with the convenience of a pool. The bath is also right next to the promenade, where you can stroll after a swim and watch the surfers.
Glenrock State Conservation Area
This large green space is located just to the south of the residential part of the suburb and is where people come to explore scenic hiking and mountain biking paths. Visitors will also discover waterfalls along rainforest trails and be rewarded with views of the picturesque Glenrock Lagoon.
Fort Scratchley
Venture up to the top of the hill by Nobbys Head to visit this historic fortress dating back to the 19th century. Aside from taking in the exhibits, you can also embark on tours of underground tunnels. The site also offers panoramic views of the coastline and Nobbys Head Lighthouse.
