Family-friendly holiday rentals in Newcastle

Wonderful place to stay, if you want to get away from the busy city life. You will feel just right at home with a bonus of the beautiful view especially in the morning when the valley is covered by a beautiful fog. Cabin was huge and beautiful plenty of space around, heaps of board games and a few friends from the wild. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place and look forward to coming again soon!

We absolutely loved our short stay at Hunter Hideaway Farm. It was so peaceful and picturesque waking up to the beautiful surroundings and the birds chirping. The cabin is comfortable, cozy and has all the creature comforts of home. With a stunning outlook across the paddocks down to the pond. Would highly recommend for a romantic couples weekend. Some cheese and crackers and a nice glass of red in the hot spa while watching the sun set, what more could you ask for.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Susan’s place! Her house was incredibly cozy and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Susan was also very accommodating and responsive to all our needs, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended! DJDVE

We thoroughly loved our time at “The View”…and oh, what a view! Just spectacular from the front balcony. The property was spotlessly clean, and the King sized bed, super comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment. The Sunbeam coffee maker was an added bonus. “ The View” is centrally located in Shoal Bay, right across from the jetty, and just a short drive (or walk, depending on your choice of bush walk), to a whole host of fabulous places to walk and explore. Do yourself a favour, and drive over to Sunset Beach at Soldiers Point on sunset. Breathtaking!!! Mark and Lea are generous hosts with outstanding communication. We’d love to come back again to further explore this region and to further enjoy Mark and Lea’s hospitality.

Had a wonderful weekend in the hunter and the accommodation was excellent highly recommend

Antonina was a lovely host, who responded straight away to any questions we had. The home was just as described very beautiful with lovely surroundings. We felt so relaxed in this beautiful private surroundings. Would definitely recommend and we will hopefully be coming back in Easter.

Beautiful place. My folks loved it. The House is Lovely and cozy. Backyard is Huge full of Plants and Tress. Calm and peaceful vibe at the stay. Absolutely recommend for a stay.

Cute cosy cottage in the middle of Cessnock, with enough outdoor space to give the dog some roaming space (and zoomies!), good central location where you can walk to the local pub and butcher, there’s Halls Park nearby green for a morning or evening dog walk too. Overall great value for money!

Beautiful property. Loved the nest! Lots of lovely walks and different places to unwind on the property itself. Waking up to all the birdsong was glorious. We had a really lovely relaxing stay - thank you very much Christine.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

Very friendly host and lots of thought has gone in to making sure you have everything you might need with thoughtful extras such as the espresso coffee make and milk frother, fresh bread, eggs butter and milk - so your first breakfast is 'on the house '. Recommended.

This listing was spacious, comfortable and had everything you need for a great weekend in the Hunter valley. Easy, secure parking and two great decks to enjoy

Had such a beautiful peaceful stay 🙏the house was perfect and so close to the beach. Beautiful back entertainment area also. And the host was lovely and very fast msg response! I will definitely be booking again

Victoria was a fantastic host, very friendly and helpful in the lead up to our stay and upon arrival. The place is a great size, has great views and had everything we needed for a few days, great location, walking tracks nearby and only a 5 min drive to local restaurants, cafes and shops. The breakfast provided was also an awesome addition, thanks for having us!

We enjoyed our stay at Travis’s place. It was well situated and tidy.

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

Amazing place. Felt really special the moment you stepped in. Tim has thought about every possible thing you would need for you stay. Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

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.

What an amazing location our families stayed in a few of the houses & were nice & close for our wedding day

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Great New Years experience. The cottage was in a private area, but still close to different sites like the Hunter Valley Gardens, it was a great getaway from the city!!

We had an amazing stay at Daniel and Sasha’s place in Picketts Valley! From the start, they were incredibly communicative and made everything seamless. The home was spotless and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The highlight was definitely the heated pool—such a treat! The property itself is peaceful and beautifully set in nature, yet still conveniently close to nearby attractions. Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking for a perfect escape. We’d love to come back!

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part
