Newcastle hotels

If you’re tired of salt and sand but still want to swim, the Tantarra Guest House has a good pool area. For something more upmarket, the Best Western Plus Apollo International Hotel has a pool with a view. This 4.5-star accommodation backs onto Australian bushland, making you feel like you’re in the outback while still in the city.

If you’re looking for value for money, the Backpackers Newcastle and Mayfield Motel offer great deals all year round. With both accommodations being close to public transport, you will also have an easy and affordable way to explore the city.

If you want to be as close as you can be to everything Newcastle has to offer, consider a spot in the city centre such as the Ibis Newcastle or the CBD Hotel. These hotels are both conveniently close to shopping and eateries, whether you are here for business or pleasure.

Surfers from around the world flock to Newcastle’s Surfest during February and March’s end-of-summer rush. Located on Merewether Beach, the event happens over the hill from the main tourist beaches. The Burwood Inn will keep you close to the action, located only 15 minutes from the beach.

For those who enjoy birdwatching, the Hunter Wetlands National Park has walks along the river and Fullerton Cove. The Gateway Inn and The Citigate Motel are both located in the north of the city beside the University of Newcastle, and only a 10-minute drive across the river to the wetlands on Kooragang Island.
