About this property

Hideaway apartment in bustling beachside suburb, short walk to city attractions

  • Wind down or live it up; Bar Beach has lots to offer. Savour the delights of popular Darby Street eateries after a swim at beautiful Bar Beach. If relaxing in the courtyard is your thing, the private pebbled entryway takes you to your hideaway apartment where you can wind down among the plants in your own, private courtyard. With a kitchenette on hand equipped with bar fridge, microwave and hot plate you can keep your food and drinks cool and fresh. Explore a myriad of cycle-paths and waterfront walks or visit the nearby art gallery or museum. When night falls take a leisurely walk to the beach for a sunset kissed picnic, take a trip to the theatre or dance the night away in our local watering holes.

This was the perfect little apartment for our weekend in Newcastle - quiet & private, a short walk to shops, cafes, restaurants & the beach, & only a 20 minute stroll to the CBD. The apartment was amazing value, beautifully decorated, modern & spacious with everything we could need. Definitely recommend staying here & would love to do it again!

Family get together

We used The Hideaway for an extra long weekend to catch up with family in Newcastle. It is ideally located and perfect for 2 people. It really is a hideaway and we enjoyed the privacy and feeling of seclusion.
