The location is amazing! You couldn't get a better position for working, visiting, or discovering Newcastle

Newcastle has lots on offer all year round. You won't have to venture too far from Cooks Hill Cottage to find a variety of things to do - whatever suits your mood

Step out the front door for an easy walk to the beach, cafe's, bars, art galleries and parks. Stroll to Newcastle CBD, trendy Darby Street, Harbour Foreshore, the fashionable suburb of The Junction, pristine beaches and unique shopping

Use the cottage as your base for exploring this unique slice of Australia. From 20 to 60 minutes you can explore the Hunter Valley vineyards, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens. If you like walking you can walk the Bathers Way - a walk that takes in Newcastle's fabulous coastline and harbour
