Apartment building has tons of character. Everything was spotless. Everything we needed was there. Bonus visit from a friendly neighbourhood cat made it even more special. Great location a short walk from the beach.

Very sorry we had to come home. Great experience!

We booked needing a one night stay in Newcastle after deciding to take a spontaneous weekend trip. The apartment was extremely clean, modern and proudly presented. Location is sublime, being minutes walk from some of the most amazing beaches, cafes and restaurants in Newcastle. No thought has been spared by the owner, Cal; not to mention, comfortable and fresh linen and towels. Our tribe will be back and next time, for longer.

Stunning place and location

The location was perfect, clean, spacious for a two bedroom unit, comfortable and stylish. It was everything that was advertised and more!!! So close to the beach and restaurants at Mereweather. The little touches made it a joy to stay here. The reading room was an amazing space to unwind with the ocean breeze, making it relaxing. Definitely recommend.

A super clean, very stylish and brilliantly located apartment, generously equipped with essentials such as coffee pods, tea, cooking oil. It's just across the road from one of Newcastle's main beaches.

Perfect from the second we open the door.

From the moment we opened the front door, we found that our accommodation was super clean, smelled beautiful and really homely. It was like being in a Vogue magazine. The art work is absolutely beautiful which adorn the apartment walls. We were shocked by the awesome well stocked kitchen and appreciated and loved the complementary bathroom toiletries which were of the highest quality and of course, environmentally friendly. The fluffy soft white towels and crisp fresh bed linen were so much nicer than when we stayed at Hilton Hotel. With only a short 1 minute stroll, we reached the most magnificent beaches and spectacular scenery. We found ourselves getting up early to walk along the stretch of pathway along the beach front and enjoying as much fresh clean air as possible and of course afterward indulging in a leisurely coffee and breakfast at the kiosk afterwards. Our host Cal was extremely helpful and only a message away if needed. Cal ensured everything was absolutely perfect for our stay. Definately, we classify Cal as the 'Ultimate Superhost' for sure. Can't wait to stay again.

Great location, gorgeous well stocked apartment only a short walk to the beach.

Location was great - a short walk to the beach and a short drive to everwhere else. The apartment was recently renovated, beautifully styled and stocked with everything you could think of - condiments in the kitchen, sunscreen, beach towels, coffee machine, toiletries. Only one bathroom but well organised and worked perfectly for 6 of us. Beautifully decorated with interesting nick nacks and large real plants. 2 bedrooms for couples and a separate lounge room with a couch and some fold out chairs and mattressses. And a proper separate dining room, which was great for a group of 6. Fans in the bedroom were great and if you opened the windows you got a nice cross breeze. I would stay there again.

This is a fantastic Apartment.

It was excellent. The detail that our host Cal has gone to make this a very special place to stay is fantastic. Very thoughtful host, even leaving beach towels and a small carry esky was very thoughtful. If we could give more than a 10 rating we would! Can’t wait to rebook, thank you Cal.
