Where to Stay in Newcastle NSW: Accommodation Guide for Visitors

Newcastle has a range of accommodation options spread across the inner city, the Honeysuckle precinct and the beach suburbs. The Crowne Plaza Newcastle on Merewether Street and the QT Newcastle on King Street are the city's leading full-service hotel options, both in the inner CBD within walking distance of the beach and cultural precinct. The Honeysuckle precinct has several apartment-style accommodation options with harbour views. The beach suburbs of Nobbys Beach and Bar Beach have boutique guesthouses and vacation rental apartments popular in summer. Cooks Hill's heritage streets have B&B options in converted Victorian homes. Hamilton and the mid-ring suburbs have affordable motel options for visitors on a budget. Newcastle is an easy day trip from the Hunter Valley wine country, and several operators offer transport packages combining accommodation. Booking well ahead for the annual Hunter Valley Harvest Festival (March-April) and summer beach season weekends is strongly advisable.
