    That the beds were more comfortable than my own at home. All jokes aside, we cannot fault this apartment.

    We booked needing a one night stay in Newcastle after deciding to take a spontaneous weekend trip. The apartment was extremely clean, modern and proudly presented. Location is sublime, being minutes walk from some of the most amazing beaches, cafes and restaurants in Newcastle. No thought has been spared by the owner, Cal; not to mention, comfortable and fresh linen and towels. Our tribe will be back and next time, for longer.

    The location was perfect, clean, spacious for a two bedroom unit, comfortable and stylish. It was everything that was advertised and more!!! So close to the beach and restaurants at Mereweather. The little touches made it a joy to stay here. The reading room was an amazing space to unwind with the ocean breeze, making it relaxing. Definitely recommend.

    We visited during a heatwave and while the ceiling fans were good, some aircon would have been nice.

    A super clean, very stylish and brilliantly located apartment, generously equipped with essentials such as coffee pods, tea, cooking oil. It's just across the road from one of Newcastle's main beaches.

    Great location, gorgeous well stocked apartment only a short walk to the beach.

    Entrance to building was a bit off putting - shabby carpet, however once in the flat it was perfect. The bedding arrangments in the lounge room took a bit of working out - would be perfect for children. In the end we had one adult on a mattress on the floor and the other on the couch. I would think twice about staying in peak summer without airconditioning.

    Location was great - a short walk to the beach and a short drive to everwhere else. The apartment was recently renovated, beautifully styled and stocked with everything you could think of - condiments in the kitchen, sunscreen, beach towels, coffee machine, toiletries. Only one bathroom but well organised and worked perfectly for 6 of us. Beautifully decorated with interesting nick nacks and large real plants. 2 bedrooms for couples and a separate lounge room with a couch and some fold out chairs and mattressses. And a proper separate dining room, which was great for a group of 6. Fans in the bedroom were great and if you opened the windows you got a nice cross breeze. I would stay there again.

    It was excellent. The detail that our host Cal has gone to make this a very special place to stay is fantastic. Very thoughtful host, even leaving beach towels and a small carry esky was very thoughtful. If we could give more than a 10 rating we would! Can’t wait to rebook, thank you Cal.

    Booked in a hurry enroute driving down from Brisbane, so not much time to research, and really just looking for a bed for the night. Arrived inthe dark and rain. Building initially seemed a little old and wasnt sure what to expect. Up one flightof stairs. Imagine our surprise on entering our apartment, a beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, roomy apartment. Just lovely and would have loved to spend more time there if we werent on the road again early next morning. Lots of nice touches, even fresh milk in the fridge, almost unheard of nowadays.
