Chaucer Palms Boutique Bed & Breakfast

Chaucer Palms Boutique Bed & Breakfast is a small accommodation property on James Street in Hamilton, offering a private and quiet base in Newcastle. The website describes it as an award-winning, 4.5-star AAA-rated hotel-style B&B, with secure off-street parking available subject to availability and free wireless internet.

Guests can choose between a Queen Spa Suite and a King/Twin Suite. The Queen Spa Suite includes a private ensuite with a two-person oval spa, a private balcony and a bar fridge, while the King/Twin Suite has a larger ensuite with a screened shower, disabled facilities and a landscaped private courtyard. Both room types are presented with quality linen, towels and bathrobes, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a desk and hairdryer. A generous breakfast selected from a menu is included in the tariff.

The property includes dining and lounge areas, a guest courtyard and spaces designed around a more intimate stay rather than a large hotel experience. Its Hamilton location places visitors near Beaumont Street’s cafés, restaurants, shops, markets, pubs and entertainment, as well as Hamilton Railway Station. Newcastle attractions listed on the site include Nobbys Head and Breakwall, Newcastle Beach and Ocean Baths, Fort Scratchley, Honeysuckle and the Memorial Walk. The spa suite may suit couples, while the twin-bed option and accessible facilities give the accommodation broader appeal for visitors travelling for study, events or a Newcastle getaway.
