Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Newcastle

Our stay at the Redhead Beach House was fantastic. The house itself was well designed, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with a platter and wine waiting for us and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Great selection of board games, table tennis and arcade game meant there was plenty to do when we were at the house. The area was beautiful and quiet. A great beach over the road - both our 11 year old daughter and our dog loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you Natalie and Collin for your hospitality.

Had a wonderful 2 night stay at Kim's place. This is a private retreat with lovely furnishings that cater to your every need. Comfy beds and a great set up with an ensuite off each room. It was perfect for my friend and I on our weekend away. We would definitely stay again.

Loved our stay at Heidi’s place. Great central location, we walked everywhere. Lots of nice local cafes on the doorstep also. The place is lovely clean space, beds were comfy and some cute little touches around. Would definitely stay there again.

Overall the visit was well worth it, the instructions were very clear and Catherine responded succinctly answering any questions we had prior to checking in and checking out.

Beautiful house in an amazing location. Suanne provided clear instructions and was flexible and friendly. The house was extremely well stocked and comfortable. One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in!

Loved our stay! My mum and I had a girl's weekend away here and it was perfect. Short walk to great cafes at The Junction and close to Mereweather beach and the shops in Cooks Hill. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Joanne has been very helpful with check-in and gives very clear instructions. The place is very conveniently located and close to all amenities. Would definitely come back if we were ever to visit Newcastle again.

John's place was warm and inviting. It was also spacious and had everything we need. John was very informative and gave clear instructions. Will stay again when we next have to be in Newcastle !

It was a lovely and peaceful stay, rooms were very clean, kitchen was good to use, lounge room was a very generous size. Would definitely stay again

Lovely stay, thanks Georgina. We found the apartment to be spotless (and we are fussy!), well equipped with thoughtful touches like a beach bag with towels for use during our stay and an info book with recommendations for eating etc. A very short stroll to beach which was lovely. Shops, cafes, bars and restaurants very close by but it is also quiet with the bedrooms situated at the back of the apartment. Living area is great and the balcony a lovely spot, the plants are a nice touch and makes it feel like a home away from home. The bathroom is small and the only thing I would change would be to add a little more storage space/ places to put things (in bathroom only) but this was easily solved for us by clearing the cupboard under the sink temporarily (ie; moving the hairdryer and spare toilet rolls elsewhere) then using that to store toiletries during our stay. Georgia was very communicative and proactive. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook!

We loved our stay. Location was a stand out, such stunning views of the ocean and nearby waves. Would come back again

Great location, great place. Will be back for sure

Fantastic apartment in a great location. Comfortable, secure and felt right at home

Before we arrived, Phillipa was in communication. The location was great, but as the suburb is named the Hill, it was ok walking down the hill to the CBD. Coming home is uphill and quite a challenge. CBD is only minutes away on the bus and we found a bus stop only a 5 minute walk away at the Cathedral and used it frequently for a ride home. Bus #21. There is a timetable at the bus stop. The unit has 2 bedrooms on main level and a study downstairs, which suited us 3 ladies. Plenty of space. The Study has lots of books available to read. Plenty of games in the cupboard with beach towels, spare blankets etc. Bathroom recently renovated and lovely hot water. Beds are very comfy, clean linen with warm quilts. The kitchen contains everything you will need. Phillipa was a great host and was available during our stay to help with anything that was needed. I highly recommend this stay.

Great apartment. Easy check in. Helpful host. Had everything we needed for our two night stay. Would defiantly stay again.

We loved the Bond House apartment. Despite the unusual access across the park it was well worth it once inside. Eclectic stylishly furnished spacious apartment well located for East Newcastle. A well stocked larder and great laundry space if you need it. Bathrooms very modern with heated towel rails and big fluffy towels! Beds very comfy too

Great place! Amazing views. Perfect set up for a family of 4. Would definitely come back!

What a great apartment! Close to everything we needed during our stay, loved how close it was to coles and a few other shops. Walking distance to the beach and four pines park- thanks for letting us stay in your home!

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

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.

we love the place...so clean... this is the second time we got this place... will come back again when we visit Sydney...well done Daisy👍👍👍

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

What a pleasure it was to stay in this spacious, comfortable and well equipped home. Emily provides everything you need right down to umbrellas. The beautiful views over Whale Beach added a fabulous touch to this perfect airbnb. Emily and David were quick to respond, always helpful, and throughout my 10 day stay ensured that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Northern Beaches.

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.
