About this property

Charming light filled cottage just 150 metres from Merewether Beach and baths.

This lovely airy cottage is a separate building at the rear of the 90 year old Merewether Beach House. It is on two levels. The entry sitting room has a single bed suitable fior a child and bathroom entry is off this. Upstairs is a queen bedroom, small kitchen, lounge and dining area. Foxtel and wifi are included. The property is air conditioned but with lots of windows if you prefer the catch the sea breezes.
We are just a short stroll to Merewether Beach (voted Ausralia's best city beach) and the largest salt water baths in Australia. Merewether local's pub, The Beaches, is a very short walk and so is stunning, absolute beachfront Merewether Surfhouse with it's sophisticated bar and restaurant, function rooms, cafe and takeaway. The vibrant eating precincts of Darby Street, Cooks Hill and the Junction are just 2 ks away while the Newcastle CBD and harbour just 3ks.
Newcastle's renowned Bather's Way Walk starts100 metres from here - you can see the path streching away from the bedroom window.
If you like to escape the crowd we are also a short walk to Glenrock nature reserve with its lovely bush walks, rated mountain bike trails and beautiful Burwood beach leading to Glenrock lagoon.
Greg and I (Maz) are on site in the main house and available for help any time. Our greying staffy, Scout, will usually give a gentle hello.

Quiet and comfortable stay
We found the cottage to be clean quiet and welcoming. Our little elderly dog was quite happy as well. It was well equipped and suited us perfectly. I would recommend Maz's place to anyone looking for a small place to stay close to the centre of Newcastle.Megan

Fantastic stay!
Thank you to Maz and Greg who were our hosts for a wonderful 3 night stay. Your place was clean and bright, and you have a wonderful location just minutes away from beautiful Merewether Beach. You made us feel very welcome and you are warm and genuine people. My partner and myself - and our 7 year old retriever - had a lovely stay. Thank you.

Lovely, private
Even though this is a cottage at the back of a private residence, it was very private. The “landlady” is lovely. The area is lovely, beaches so beautiful. The only (minor) downside for us older folk was that the toilet and shower are downstairs from the bedroom and main living area.
