This was the perfect little apartment for our weekend in Newcastle - quiet & private, a short walk to shops, cafes, restaurants & the beach, & only a 20 minute stroll to the CBD. The apartment was amazing value, beautifully decorated, modern & spacious with everything we could need. Definitely recommend staying here & would love to do it again!
Cozy little apartment close to Bar Beach and Darby St. Amazing hosts who were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and will hopefully stay again some time.
Thank you for this well appointed and beautiful oasis in such a wonderful location. I felt so happy and relaxed there. A true hideaway!

The hideaway was perfect for a long, relaxing weekend in Newcastle, with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Comfy bed, great shower, a lovely peaceful courtyard. Great location, walkable to the city and beautiful bar beach on your doorstep. Friendly and thoughtful host. Would recommend!
We used The Hideaway for an extra long weekend to catch up with family in Newcastle. It is ideally located and perfect for 2 people. It really is a hideaway and we enjoyed the privacy and feeling of seclusion.
Loved it. It's neat, tidy, quaint, functional, totally private, a really relaxing atmosphere. The hosts are very welcoming and lovely people...a big THANK YOU.
Really neat, tastefully decorated apartment. Small, but has everything you need. And a good location - walking distance to The Junction, Darby St and beaches. Highly comfortable and highly recommend!
Lovely Accommodation, close to beach & shops ,a little noisy hearing people walk around upstairs. No Wi-Fi.until Host bought a modem down to me. overall a comfortable stay.
My second time back here and liking it even more. Tastefully decorated, very quiet and private. Brilliant location close to The Junction and Darby St, couldn't ask for a better spot. The hosts are great and unobtrusive. Will be back again!
