Family-friendly holiday rentals in Newcastle

First thing you notice as you pull up to the cabin is the stunning view off the mountain. The cabin is tucked into the bush making it a private and discreet little getaway. We watched the sunset daily from the spa which was amazing. The cabin itself was a very nice touch also, well maintained and presented with everything you need to make a special relaxing getaway. From playing tennis, going for a bush walk or relaxing by the fire, Inala was the perfect getaway and a place we would feel privileged to visit again in the future.

We loved our stay, very secluded, cozy and romantic. Loved the scenery and homey touches. The hosts Vicki and Roger were awesome, would stay there again!

Incredible spot. We watched the dolphins leaping from the waves and couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back in whale season! Great setup. Highly recommended. Richard and Beck were great hosts. Really responsive and helpful. Avalon town is a great spot too. Lots of good places to eat and get coffee. minor notes: the path down to the rockpools is a little more advanced than anticipated. We turned back with our three year old. if you're napping kids in the middle of the day the blinds don't block much light coming in.

Have had a lovely week at Mark and Leah's apartment in shoal bay. Loved the views and the place was great, everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Shoal Bay itself has a really laid back vibe, with great places to eat right at your doorstep. On our drive home we were already planning on coming back, which speaks volumes on how much we enjoyed our stay.

It was a beautiful spacious place for a group of good friends to tour the Hunter region. It was central to most places making it easy to drive everywhere. Dan and Ariane were friendly and accommodating with our needs. A great place to relax!

We stayed at Armando's for the long weekend while visiting family in the Newcastle area. The house is inviting and beautifully furnished, and was perfect for our group (6 adults + a very energetic toddler!). Everything was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well equipped, and having two full sized bathrooms made our lives so easy. Ducted air con meant the house stayed nice and cosy despite the chilly temperatures outside! The back garden is very serene - we just wished we had more time to enjoy it! Shops nearby meant we could pick up essentials easily, plus grab takeaway if we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend this lovely house!

Bombah Point is a natural haven nestled in the trees, offering the perfect escape from city life. We had a blast playing pool (badly) and table tennis (even worse!), but the laughs were plentiful. The property offers heaps of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Despite the rain, it added to the cozy atmosphere - snuggling up by the wood fire with a book and listening to the rain was pure bliss. We enjoyed walking through the property, feeding the chickens, and browsing the extensive DVD collection. The fully equipped kitchen made self-catering a breeze. The tree-top feel of our accommodation and the extra comfortable beds, was a highlight. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend.

My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Donna’s. Donna is always very helpful. We love the peacefulness and the lakeside view

We loved staying at Rod’s place. It was so cute, very tidy and clean, well appointed with comfy beds. Plenty of room for a family or a group of friends with 3 queen size bedrooms a sofa bed and two bathrooms. We appreciated the treats left for us- so thoughtful. The location was handy to everything we needed and we would absolutely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and spending time with family at the beautiful, well appointed Caves Beach House. We enjoyed having breakfast at the deck, looking towards the beach. We also enjoyed walking to Caves restaurant and to Caves Beach from the house. Thank you for hosting us, Sue!

The house was very clean and fresh, super cozy and homely. Corinne went above and beyond to accommodate us, even down to leaving us groceries that suited our family to make breakfast and snacks. She also gave us a run down of the area and things to do and see. We will definitely aim to stay here next time we’re visiting.

Lovely property with plenty of space for families. Kitchen was amazing and well stocked - not to mention a great coffee machine. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.

A last minute decision to get out of the rain had me booking on the same day, the check in was seamless. The cottage is gorgeous, my little dog and I loved the fire, the bath and the kitchen, stocked with everything you could need. We’ll be back

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.

Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

A quiet, rural cottage with wood burner fireplace - it was perfect for a winter getaway. Easy, friendly and responsive. Would stay again!

We have stayed with Genie often while visiting family nearby. We enjoying catching the bus at the end of the street and making our way to the station to catch the train to the city. There are parks and walks nearby, and we regularly walk to a cafe in Asquith for coffee. Genie's place is roomy and private, with everything we need for our stay. We particularly appreciate the washing machine and drying space.

Loved the view from the loungeroom & balcony. Everything was neat & tidy. Lots of books, DVDs, etc. Great smart TV. Beds were comfy. Nice & roomy apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Had a lovely time.

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

Needing somewhere to stay while working in the area & wow what a find! I couldn’t wait to finish work and get back to enjoy this place. Bonus having a beautiful dog greeting. Hosts are down to earth great people and make ya feel at home while also giving you privacy. I absolutely loved the uniqueness & detail and all the comforts of home plus more!

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