Location

Everything you need is close at hand. Check out the map below to see just how close you will be to beautiful beaches like Nobbys (pictured right), and all of your favourite leisure activities.

The House on the Hill is within 5 minutes stroll from many of the best things Newcastle has to offer.

Newcastle Beach
Just down the hill is Newcastle Beach (and the Ocean Baths) home to Australia's premier surf carnival 'Surf Fest' each April.

This is a great place to either go surfing, play some beach volleyball or just catch some rays. Check out the live web cam to see what the beach looks like today.

The Foreshore
This is one of Newcastle's evening playgrounds featuring a range of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. A great spot for a night out on the town, or some fresh air and exercise during the day.

Darby St
Less than 5 minutes and you are in the cosmopolitan food centre of Newcastle.

Here there are restaurants and cafes of every culinary persuasion. And for coffee lovers this is the next best place to heaven! By night this becomes another one of Newcastle's popular gathering places.
