Thanks Gerard and Janelle for your hospitality! The apartment was terrific - comfortable, clean and had everything we wanted. The location is excellent with the beach nearby. I would definitely stay there again.

Gerard and Janelle made us so welcome. The studio is delightful, so clean and comfortable. It was lovely to be so close to the beach as well. Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at Gerard & Janelle's place for 2 nights. Gerard & Janelle were friendly and welcoming. The apartment was all recently renovated, very clean and homely. Great location, just a short walk from beautiful redhead beach. This trip for the family is now in the irreplaceable feelings. Many smile of Saki is represents the thing. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Ah! What a stay! Upon arrival Gerard and Janelle greeted us on their front driveway with a great smile and a welcoming personality. The apartment is as described, and even better than what the photos let on. It's practically newly renovated and screams quality throughout. AND THAT BED! I had the best sleep of my life - so comfortable! Great location, literally two minutes from the beach and surf lifesaver's club. Great surf, great coffee, great vibes. 10/10 would stay again!

Wonderful and cozy and lovely house. Hosts are so kind and prepare a lot of things for accomodates. We love this house and keen to be there again.

Our stay at the apartment was unfortunately very brief, but it was beautifully clean and had everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Gerard and Janelle weren't around during our trip, but they were excellent communicators and made sure everything was fine before and after our trip. They went out of there way to ensure that a problem with hot water was fixed before we got there - on a Sunday - which was very impressive.

My husband and I stayed at Gerard and Janelle's place as a gift from a friend and it couldn't be better! The house is tidy, comfortable, pretty new and fully equipped! All you need is there! They also offer some milk, bread, sugar and others essentials as compliment! You can walk within minutes to the beach and Gerard and Janelle have a map with some places to go e see amazing views. The weekend was perfect! There's nothing to complain about! I wish you Gerard and Janelle success and I hope to go back there again! Thank you for everything! Cheers, Aline and Luciano

The apartment was lovely and Gerard and Janelle have thought of all the little extras you might need for a enjoyable stay. Redhead is a beautiful beachside village only 20 minutes away from Newcastle. I would highly recommend this listing as a peaceful retreat from which to explore Newcastle and surrounds.

We had a wonderful stay at Ron and Helen's. The place was immaculate, private and perfectly located in a beautiful quiet street with views of ocean from the generous balcony. Ron and Helen were the perfect hosts greeting us with a warm welcome on arrival and provided some useful little extras such as breakfast foods, dvds and toiletries. We would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay. Lovely hosts.

We had a wonderful holiday at Ron and Helen's lovely home - everything was beautifully organized and Ron was so kind to provide all the information we needed. Sitting in the balcony enjoying a glass of wine was the best moment in our trip - thank you Ron for the great gift wine! We also enjoyed the extraordinary sunset and sunrise view from Redhead peninsula - yes you only need to walk literally 2 mins to get to the lookout. The creek in the Redhead beach was ABSOLUTELY a surprise as the water was so clear yet shallow enough for our little baby to indulge himself in. Overall everything was perfect and we highly recommend anyone who just want to enjoy a couple of quiet days at seaside try this - the only issue we have was we just could not stay a few days longer. BTW I dont think the pictures Ron put on the website does the justice for the space - it actually looks much bigger and better,

We had a lovely stay at Ron and Helen's place for a trip to State nippers. Ron met us there and was very welcoming. They had cereal, juice and a bottle of wine amongst other things for us to have which was very nice. They are downstairs and left us to our own devices for the weekend.

We enjoyed our stay at the lovely Bluff very much. Sitting on the Verandah with a glass of wine in the evening was a favorite. Great location to scenic trails and lookouts! Thank you for the lovely home away from home!

My guys had a great stay and highly recommend Rons place

Wonderful hosts , a relaxing peceful home , in a wonderful lovation . Thank you Ron & Helen , we enjoyed our stay immensley !!!

Ron & Helen are perfect hosts. The home is perfectly described in the photos, in fact probably better in real life. The rooms are spacious and clean. The doors open to let the sea breezes in - perfect with the ocean at the end of the street ! Check in was easy, and we appreciated the bottle of wine. Ron & Helen supplied a light continental breakfast which was a nice surprise as well. There were some local tips in a notepad for food and drinks, plus some sightseeing places close by. In summary, a very pleasant home, in a great location if you want to spend time relaxing along the Newcastle beaches.

Fabulous spot, with lovely, welcoming hosts. The room was comfortable and quiet, the pool was great and my daughter loved Jersey (the dog)! Thank you very much for a great and peaceful stay during the State Nipper Championships!

Great house, great hosts!

Host was fantastic; nothing too much trouble and happy to accommodate event the smallest of requests. Little touches like removing breakables (toddler was part of party) and providing bottled water on arrival, let alone assistance rendered whilst luggage bought inside, was most appreciated. Property itself is extremely clean and neat. Wonderful sunsets and a short drive to local beach, shops and no longer than a 10 min drive to large supermarket, if the need arises. Comfortable bed, quality linen; a very peaceful and relaxing stay.

Our hosts were very welcoming and definitely went out of their way to make our stay more comfortable. They also were very helpful in suggesting activities, restaurants and areas to explore. The accommodation was very comfortable, quiet and felt luxurious. The house is situated about 20 minutes drive from town and a couple of minutes from the local Red Head beach. We managed with public transport and Uber, but would have been better having a car. However, our host kindly picked us up/dropped off at the nearest station - which was very handy. If you are a dog lover their labradoodle is gorgeous and has a very friendly manner even to those that are more cat inclined. I would stay there again and would recommend it to any other would-be Newcastle explorers.

Kirren and james were lovely hosts. They invited us into a welcoming home and showed us great hospitality. The home was amazing and so close to everything. Perfect for a relaxing weekend away from the city.

Great communication with Kirren from the start. We didnt get to meet Kirren, but her mum Judy was there to meet us at the agreed time. The bedroom & bathroom were super clean, the beautiful modern home is in a very quiet residential street so perfect nights sleep. We could see the water but it would be a bit of a walk to the beach. Redhead is a very quiet residential suburb, not much in the way of restaurants or cafes but we were there for a private function so Kirren's place was perfect for us. Thanks for having us :-)

The house is very comfortable. It's a quiet area close to the beach. I could use Netflix in a comfortable Sofa. The room was nice too. The host was very friendly and welcoming. I had a good stay.

Lovely, clean home. Friendly and kind host.

Comfortable house not far from town. Great host. No hesitations in recommending this place

A relaxed comfortable house with lovely bushland views. John is a very friendly & helpful host. Would stay here again.

Great Host. Everything matches what he describe. The house is exactly the same we can see in here Airbnb. Everything is included.The location is close to shopping centre. We can drive to there within 10 mins. We are satisfied to stay here. We would recommend others to stay in there.

very good,very clean and really nice guy:)

The room is nice and tidy when we arrived and her house mates have been accommodating. The bus stop is right in front of the house as well so commuting shouldn't be a problem if you're not bringing a car. She has 2 pets in the house, a dog and a cat, and they are very adorable and friendly. The host has been very accommodating as well. When our plans changed requiring us to stay longer, she immediately granted our request. I would recommend staying here.

Didn't meet Rachael but we exchanged messages while I was here. Very friendly household and clean and tidy. Would stay here again anytime.

Spacious and comfy spot with easy access to Newcastle and the surrounding areas. We were very impressed to be able to cook a meal and carry out our normal family life at such little cost! Gary is an excellent host who made sure we felt right at home.

Gary was very helpful. The apartment provided for all our needs. It is warm and comfortable with good facilities.

This house was brilliant. It's self contained underneath the main house and has everything you could need. It's extremely comfortable and close enough to everything (20 minutes to Newcastle and 10 or less to Charlestown). We didn't meet Gary and Sam personally, however all communication was extremely friendly, prompt and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would stay again

Gary and Sam's apartment was in a great spot, nice and quiet, with easy access to various parts of Newcastle. We were made to feel very welcome, finding a box of chocolates for Xmas on the dining room table when we arrived. The apartment was comfortable, well supplied and roomy and we were given plenty of privacy. We had a lovely stay.

Gary and his wife Sam are fantastic. We were greeted on arrival and shown around. The apartment is super spacious and comfortable. They also gave us access to their pool to cool down after a long drive. They stock the fridge with beers and softdrinks and milk etc. where the guest simply pays based on what they take in an honesty system where you leave money in a jar. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possible need. The bathroom as well is also stocked with shampoos, soaps etc and also includes a washing machine. Gary and Sam are fellow bikers( not bikies... :) ), and allowed me to leave my harley inside their lockup garage for the evening which gave me peace of mind. He also helped me load it back on the trailer in the morning. They really went above and beyond as hosts and i would certainly stay their again if passing through the area. We went out for a dinner and a movie that night which was a short drive away. My faaaaavourite thing though was the bedroom. I woke up at 9:30am honestly believing it was 4:30am as it was pitch black still. If you're looking for a sleep in and a great nights sleep without the sun blaring through your window, this is the place for you! We did not feel rushed at all when checking out and Gary mentioned that they are pretty lax with check out times...

Gary and Carmel provide a clean and spacious apartment in a lovely, quiet part of Belmont. They also take care to look after the small details that make a big difference - much appreciated. Gary responded immediately to our initial enquiry and the booking was able to be finalised within a few minutes. Would recommend.

Great space - open living room that is separated from the rest of the house. Very hospitable - gave some good recommendations for local restaurants. Thank.

I needed somewhere quiet, clean, and budget-friendly to crash while undertaking a large relocation and starting a new job. This place fit the bill perfectly. The hosts were extremely welcoming. I didn't arrive until late at night, but found they'd left a friendly note to say hi , as well as a well stocked fridge and other essentials. They went above and beyond to be as helpful and welcoming as possible - they were really lovely people. The unit is just like the pictures - if anything it was larger than I expected! The directions were extremely clear and they had provided maps and timetables for nearby public transport as well as info about good local restaurants. Great hospitality - thanks so much!

This was the first time using Air BnB, so was unsure what to expect. In short, it was a great experience & won't be the last time I use the service. I was met @ the unit, & shown the facilities available. The unit was exceptionally clean & well stocked for a traveller. It is in a secure block & close to a major shopping centre & public transport. I felt at home, safe and used all the facilities. Carolyn was the perfect host & the units was well stocked with consumables, ie, toiletries & tea/coffee etc. The hand over on entry & exit was easy. There is secure parking which worked efficiently & being by myself, using it late at night was reassuring.

In our host's absence due to another commitment, she made sure her daughter was on hand to help us settle in. From the start we had a great stay for four weeks, in a very well appointed apartment in an excellent location for us in the Newcastle area (Charlestown, with ready access to the Charlestown Square Mall, Redhead and Kotara). The apartment has a great 6th floor aspect to the east. Thoroughly recommended.

Carolyn was very helpful in organizing our arrival at the unit. While she was unavailable to meet me she made sure her son Daryl was available to meet me . Daryl was more than helpful and showed me where everything was an din particular how the security in the building operated. We needed to stay a few hours after the check out time and Carolyn was most generous in facilitating this for us. Thank you Carolyn.

Our host was very helpful and generous. We couldn't have wished for better everything we could possible want was there. It was very clean, great location to beach and shopping. Would defiantly recommend this place.

Our host Carolyn was a lovely lady, who had thought of everything: a trolley to make it easy to take bits and pieces from our car up the lift, also providing fresh food and access to her pantry! The unit was spacious and well appointed, located in the centre of Charlestown, close to shops and restaurants, with a huge balcony looking over the hinterland and Newcastle in the distance. There was some traffic noise during the day, but we were never there, so it was no trouble.

Carolyn, kindly met us on our arrival, despite that being after 10pm. She showed us the underground parking arrangements before showing us around the apartment and explaining where everything was. The apartment is lovely, open plan and if anything the rooms and balcony are more spacious than the photos suggest. The kitchen is well equipped. Local supermarkets are open until late and are only a 5 min walk away in a nearby mall. The location is great for exploring the local area: Newcastle city centre is only about 15 mins drive away, whale watching tours about an hour up the coast, and the Hunter Valley wine region an hour in the other direction.

Carolyn was extremely helpful in her directions, greeting and helping us settle into her lovely unit for our stay. The unit is located very centrally in Newcastle to shops, doctor, chemist, cafes, restaurants and a short drive to the beautiful Lake Macquarie. The unit is very large, clean, bright, light with the best quality bedding, linen - even Wedgwood to use daily. Pantry and fridge were full of condiments which we were allowed to use. We slept well in the very comfortable double bed and our son visited and was happy to sleep on our camp bed even though the lounge was on offer. We would recommend this unit to anyone who is in Newcastle for either holiday or business and we would love to come back and stay on other occasions.

It was a convenient location with good access to connecting roads. House was neat and clean and the cats were friendly!

A very pleasant host and comfortable room at a great price. Thank you.

Peaceful uncluttered house in quiet accessible location. lyssa is a friendly and helpful host. Feel at home right away.

Thanks for welcoming me into your home, Lyssa.

Was a nice relaxing place to stay, Lyssa was very nice and friendly.

Big thank you to Lyssa whom is a delightful lady and fabulous host . The home is a beautiful older style with fabulous timber floors and a very comfy bed !! Wish I could stay again but she is booked out !! A big thank you

Lys was easy going and made me feel welcome. Would recommend

This space was perfect for me. I was in Newcastle attending a workshop that was a ten minute drive away. I could prepare my own food, use the internet, exchange interesting conversation with Lyssa and have quiet space to recharge too. Lyssa was really friendly, welcoming and very accommodating practically as well. Fabulous really!

Place was great! close to shops, quiet area, lots of parking space, Nice and cosy living room and bedroom was big and spacious, great bathroom. Host provided great tips on what to see in Newcastle etc. Will stay again.

We enjoyed everything about our stay from the location to the clean living space! Mello was a great host and we would high recommend staying at his place to couples and families alike. Thanks Mello!!

We had a nice 5 nights stay at the end of January. Travelling with two children under ten, we found the house clean and well appointed. Having air-con downstairs was great, and Mello provided a powerful fan for upstairs (where the bedrooms are) so, along with the night breeze, we slept comfortably. The main bedroom has a very comfortable (soft) queen bed. The kids shared the futon is the second bedroom. The futon mattress is harder than the main bed's but is of good quality and comfortable nonetheless. We appreciated being able to use the laundry's washing machine (there is a clothes line in the garden). Our host was very welcoming and always on call should you need anything. There is a 15mn drop-off parking spot in front of the house and ample parking in the street. The neighbourhood is family friendly, quiet and green, close to bushland and beautiful beaches. There are shops and affordable and nice food options within a 5 minutes walk (Post office, gourmet butcher, physio, convenience store, take-away pizzas, fish&chips shop, Chinese restaurant...). We would definitely recommend the house and would love to stay again.

Brand new townhouse. All my local tourist attractions, best sunset/sunrise locations queries was communicated well. Well equipped kitchen and laundry. Kids enjoyed Xbox and Internet. Felt as staying in our home away from home. Will return back again when required and refer to family and friends.

Very nice place to stay. Ample street parking for larger vehicles. Suitable for short or long term stay. Quiet location. Would thoroughly recommend.

Smart New house, lovely back garden. Spacious. Didn't check out local area as this was a quick overnighter for us, but supermarkets close by and owner on hand for anything. Believe beautiful beaches locally. Would def recommend.

Had a great time staying at Mello's place. It was a beautiful home and they were really helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks!

The place was very modern, clean and tidy. An easy drive into town, shops and restaurants. We stayed over New Years and even then it was quiet. Such good value.

Lovely place to stay, host was very nice, the room was great and the location is very relaxing.

Valerie was a terrific host. She showed us around her lovely, cosy house and made us feel immediately at home. The house was clean, comfortable and tranquil and in tune with nature. The French champagne was a lovely touch.

A truly beautiful home. This house gives you the best of both worlds, close to city life but feeling like you're in the middle of bushland. Val is such a welcoming person, very easy to get along with. Plenty of wildlife just in the backyard, providing great opportunities if you're a birdwatcher or photographer. Loved every minute of it! Thanks for having us Val :)

Thank you Valerie for hosting us in your sunny and peaceful home! The room and bathroom were spacious, light, and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The house is miraculously nestled in a patch of pristine rainforest for her backyard – such a sanctuary, and during our time we saw kookaburras, lizards, and parrots, and even had a chance to feed them (watch out for those cheeky lizards and their love of grapes). Valerie is a friendly and generous host, and we appreciated her local recommendations and knowledge of the area (as well as her delicious banana bread!) Highly recommended – thank you!

Very relaxing and amazingly chilled atmosphere . Looking forward to going back.

The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had two wonderful days as Valerie's guests. She is a lovely person and provided us with plenty of helpful tips. Her place is very cozy, clean and peaceful. Highlights include delicious coffee and life feeding of water dragons, birds, and possums on her verandah.

Wonderful stay. Maree is the kind of host you look after when signing up for AirBNB. She took a great care of us and her cabin is definitely a place worth going to! All the small details Maree paid attention to were lovely and helped us feel welcomed. The setting is great and the cabin well looked after. We highly recommend it.

Pleasant cabin. Nice and quiet. Well appointed. Host very friendly.

We had a lovely time. It was beautiful hearing the whip birds. The cabin was spacious and well presented. Maree was a great host even helping us out when we needed a needle and thread. Thanks

Our night co-coincided with a night of heavy rain which was lovely on the cabin's tin roof! Although the cabin is at the back of Maree's house, it felt very private and secluded - and waking up to the sounds of birds in the bush just outside your window was just divine.

My family stayed with Maree for a few nights over the weekend. I had organised the booking and Maree was always easy to communicate with, either via email or phone. Maree was very flexible and accommodating. My family really enjoyed her quiet, tranquil garden which backs onto a reserve, which was perfect for 3 active little boys! The cabin is beautiful, very nicely decorated and Maree was kind enough to have some food and drinks for them to enjoy after their long journey. Thank you so much Maree!

Maree is an excellent host! very friendly and helpful. The cabin was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Excellent location to relax and the garden was amazing as well. Overall a fantastic location and experience.!

We had an amazing stay at the cabin. The garden was a real highlight, with beautiful dragon lizards and beautiful birds. We spent a lot of time chilling out on the verandah enjoying being in such a beautiful and tranquil environment. The homemade muesli for breakfast was the best I have tasted! And we felt very welcome and at home. Would recommend for a relaxing stay especially if you love nature :)

Joan, Maree's mum was very welcoming and a lovely first impression. The Magic Cabin was just as described and the bushland behind was very serene. Thanks ladies, highly recommend!

Annalisa and her family were very welcoming. Parking was good and the house and room where I stayed was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. It was close to everything I needed and not too far from the southern beaches of Newcastle. She offered us breakfast in the morning with great coffee and made us feel one of the family.

We were a bit stressed when our previous booking for another place was cancelled the evening before we left, but it turned out for the best. Annalisa confirmed really quickly and she and Grant were very welcoming, offering us a hot drink on arrival. We had a really good time chatting to them both. They are a well traveled and interesting couple with a very cute and happy little boy. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Yummy cereal, berries, yoghurt and fruit loaf were provided for breakfast. We would happily stay there again.

We had a fantastic time with annalisa and her lovely family. She invited us to a great dinner - roasted chicken - amazing annalisa!! One of the best dinner we enjoyed at this long trip ♡ ... her little son is so cute and he has the most world sweetest laughing ever... the room was very big and we got great breakfast, shower - gel, shampoo and everything we needed, that makes life better... We would ever stay with them again.. Thank you guys!!

Super friendly and very welcoming. Absolute pleasure to stay with! Would recommend to anyone.
