Cottage holiday rentals in Newcastle

I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat and was thoroughly impressed. The entire property was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The horses were gentle and a joy to be around, they even come close to house. was really nice to pet them. The spa and pool area was a true highlight: serene, clean, and incredibly rejuvenating. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a bit of adventure, this place offers the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Thank you for having us!

This spot is fantastic for getting away and reconnecting with nature. Secluded, beautiful views and excellent property with great amenities. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery for cooking at the property which is essential for this retreat. I highly recommend staying here and will be back again soon. Jessie is a fantastic host and went out of her way to ensure we had materials for the fire pit and were comfortable during our stay. Thanks again :)

lovely little place clean and well maintained in a quiet area. They left bacon and eggs and a few other goodies for us to enjoy which was very much appreciated. Spa was lovely and clean unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it. Highly recommend for staying and exploring the Hunter Valley.

Kerry’s place was perfect for us. The champagne and cheese platter on arrival was a great touch & the amenities provided are hard to find at such an affordable price

We had a very lovely time in this beautiful spot, we will certainly be back for another stay hopefully in the same cottage we got this time around, for next time. Absolutely stunning even on a rainy day/evening. Amazing hosts. Super helpful and fast responding. Thank you Ines and Antony.

This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

An absolute stunning property, we couldn’t believe how big the house was despite looking small. It was very cozy and loved the special touch of getting into a warm (electric blanket) bed at night. The views were to die for and baths were a great idea. We 100% recommend and would love to come back one day.

What an amazing experience we had with our little ones, from waking up to feeding the horses, playing on the swing set to walking around the property. Eloise was so helpful and communicated all information that we needed. Its a perfect secluded home for getting away with the family.

Tessa was super easy to communicate with and provided all the information we needed. The old church was full of character and charm, it was really comfortable for the three of us. The view from the kitchen window was stunning. Thank you Tessa!

The Boatshed was such a peaceful oasis, and a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city-living. It was such a treat to take our dog and experience some proper rest and restoration on this beautiful island. We used the kayaks a couple of times, and managed to even play a game of lawn bowls at the local club. It was perfect for what we needed, and I'd highly recommend Barbara's place to anyone needing a true reset.

We had a lovely weekend, the property was exactly as described and very comfortable. Super location close to everything and very clean.

Unbelievably beautiful place to spend our 25th wedding anniversary. Every little thing was perfect - the house setup, the furnishings, the kitchen utensils, the bathroom, the bedrooms. Such a comfortable bed! We welcomed each morning by opening the blinds and looking over the water from the bed. And to spend the evenings in front of a fire was sublime. When I booked I saw that there was a little road in front of the house - I think I saw 3 cars use it the whole 4 days we were there. There's no car noise from neighbouring roads at all. Perfect spot for my husband to practice his kayaking. I could watch him while reading and sketching on the lounge on the beautiful big deck. And to have such a lovely host made the whole time magical. Brendon is attentive and quick to respond. We've stayed in a lot of Airbnb's - Brendon's place is definitely on the top of the list. I think we will be back.

Absolutely loved my stay at Chris’a place. From the moment I arrived felt right at home. Loved all the inclusions jams breads coffees milk ect. It’s perfect spot to the beach and shops all walking distance. My dogs loved the dog friendly beach. I loved the privacy of Chris’ place the dogs had a little front area and I could sit there with a cuppa in the sunlight whilst they played. Thank you Chris !!!

This place was wonderful, we wished we stayed longer!! Everything was so close by and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

We had a wonderful time at Sally and Simon’s place. It was so lovely to have an enclosed yard for our active dog and to be able to let him run in their paddock off lead. The bed was comfy and they even had chromecast set up for movie night! We enjoyed using the fire pit and the freshly laid eggs from their chickens. Thanks for an awesome time! We’ll be back!

Amazing place. One of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. Peaceful and quiet with very comfortable beds and furniture. Excellent host who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and want. Will happily leave you alone or keep you company and entertain you, if you prefer. Cozy fireplace. Modern bathroom. Awesome sauna and pool. Amazing views with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Excellent fire pit. Clear views of the stars and the Milky Way. A perfect getaway.

Well appointed. So many items supplied in kitchen and bathrooms that I have not seen at any other AIRBNB. Easy access. Very clean and well stocked with cleaning items and supplies incase of an accident or spill so you clean up and continue to enjoy your stay. Location close to cafes and restaurants at Lemon Tree Passage. So many recreational items in shed to help you enjoy the coastal location and water ways. Julie took the time to reach out to us when we did not reply to emails as we were travelling and not opening our laptop and lodging in every day about dietary requirements re type of milk to put in fridge. In conclusion well done Julie you are a credit as a super host.

Kym's place is exactly as described. She has chosen very thoughtful furnishings and styling choices. She is also very responsive and the check in process was very smooth.

We loved our stay here! The period styling of the place added a bit of fun to the experience. The garden is beautiful, full of native flowers and birds. The place is well equipped, Mary has thought of everything. From guides for local walks and restaurants to special touches of fresh eggs from her chickens and bread in the fridge for your arrival. The location is superb, wander across the road to sweeping view of the ocean or turn left and you are at Lake Macquarie. Easy drive to Swansea and Caves Beach. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break away to Mandi & Russell's. It was a cute little cottage that was spotlessly clean. Exactly like the pictures. Lovely restaurant, bakeries and homeware store all within a short walk. Highly recommend.

This place has an amazing view, the photos don’t do it justice! Host are very well at communicating instructions and recommendations for our stay. Highly recommend

Edwina and her husband were lovely hosts, and Elfin Hill is a great complexthat is well appointed and maintained. We enjoyed our visit.

Wonderful location, super comfortable and convenient, right near the beach, a nice quiet street. All the amenities are super. Highly recommended.
