Fresh studio close to beach
Thank you so much to Kathleen, everything was so easy from the moment we selected the property for our daughter to stay at for Uni placement. It was clean, fresh and great location. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Coastal bohemian townhouse
Booked this for some colleagues to stay for a work event we had in Newcastle and they were so impressed and loved the property so much. Beautiful features and great space for them to work too. Thanks so much Keira.

The Lookout - Ocean & City Views
What a great apartment. We loved the view from the balcony, over the city and towards the Anzac Walk. The appartment is right on the walkway along the beach and has great access down the Merewether Baths one way and up and over Cooks Hill the other. The girls’ recommendations for local food and coffee were spot on. We could not fault the cleanliness and comfort of the whole apartment and the little touches, tea/coffee, condiments and milk were appreciated. Thank you for hosting us Carly and Katie. We will be back for sure!

Merewether By The Beaches Newcastle, Free Parking
Perfect location handy to Merewether beach, comfortable apartment with everything needed for a short stay! Cal was an excellent host!

The Ridge - Central Stylish Villa
Very comfortable, clean and well appointed space. Short drive to the beach, and other amenities. Was a lovely home from home. Only downside was lack of tumble dryer- However, we were unlucky with the weather, if it was sunny it wouldn’t have been a problem.

The Cliff
Great place to stay in a great location

Wren’s Nest
Beautiful and central stay in the inner city of Newcastle. Within walking distance of everything you would need. Sarah was friendly, flexible and on top of everything you would need. The apartment was clean and relaxing space to unwind after a long day.

Seascape - Absolute Beachfront - Incredible Views
Awesome to return to this amazing spot. Can’t beat it for location, views, amenities inside & super responsive hosts.

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.
