3 Bedroom House in Merewether

200 metres and you're at one of the best beaches in Australia. The Merewether Ocean Baths beckon those with small children or those who wish to do a few laps. With the Beaches Hotel and The Merewether Surf House across the road, you couldn't ask for a better location for a getaway. Within easy distance to Darby Street, The Junction and the Supercar track, Life's a Merewether Beach!
The space
This three bedroom townhouse has all the amenities required for a comfortable stay for the family, a group of friends or singles. Two bedrooms and the main bathroom with separate toilet are located downstairs as well as the laundry with direct access to the garage. A porta cot and high chair are available if required.
Walk up the internal stairway to the main living area, kitchen, dining and the large main bedroom with an ensuite and separate toilet. Off the bedroom is also a study with a desk and wardrobes for those who have a longer stay. There is a separate toilet on this level so is very convenient.
The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances in case you want to cook up a storm.
After a day at the beach relax on the balcony with a glass of your favourite beverage be it a coffee, tea, a fragrant Hunter Valley wine or a boutique beer from Port Stephens.
Make sure to connect to the internet so that you can stay in touch with your friends and family or even continue with your business dealings. Turn on the TV so you don't miss those vital episodes of your favourite shows.
Have a long hot shower or relax in the bath before having a nap. Dinner choices are extensive being within easy walking distance to The Junction or catch a taxi/uber to Darby Street (about a half hour walk).
Through the day, take a leisurely walk to Merewether Beach and follow the path to The Newcastle Memorial Walk. From this vantage point, take your binoculars to spot the whales during their migration season from June to November. On any Sunday, walk a bit further around to Nobby's to visit the Lighthouse or walk along the breakwater to watch how the tugs and the pilot (look for the helicopter) manoeuvre these huge tankers through the harbour to their birthing spot. It's almost like you could touch them.
Walk to Dixon Park Beach and take a picnic. The playground is fantastic and great if you have a ball or Frisbee with lots of green spaces.
Enjoy your stay!

Summary: I stayed at Life’s a Merewether beach with my family and the location was fantastic. Lovely ocean views, close to surf club, beach and ocean baths. The unit is opposite a pub but even on Anzac Day we heard no noise.The host was quick to respond upon booking and during our stay. The house has all amenities needed to cater for a family. Garage was a little tight for a 4WD but we found plenty of on street parking.Thanks for a great stay and we will be back!

Summary: We were coming to Newcastle to pick up our daughter and thought we would make a holiday of it. It is a great location as it is so easy to walk to the beach. The place is fully self contained so it was like being in your own house but in a better area.

Summary: This place is neat and its location is fantastic in close proximity to the beach cafes and the pub. Keep in mind that there is noise from the pub across the road. It didn’t bother us. There were a few small things that could be improved in comparison to other short stay accommodation such as shampoo & conditioner, pegs for the clothes line and better quality sheets.
