Merewether Motel

Merewether Motel is a practical base for exploring Newcastle, set on Glebe Road in Merewether with the beach, The Junction and several local venues close by. Merewether Beach is described as a three-minute drive away, while The Junction’s cafés, restaurants and boutiques are about a 12-minute walk. McDonald Jones Stadium is 10 minutes away by car and Lingard Private Hospital is two minutes away, making the motel useful for beach trips, events, hospital visits and short Newcastle stays.

Accommodation ranges from rooms with queen, double or twin beds to one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and bathrooms with full baths. Rooms include kitchenettes with a microwave, bar fridge, sink, kettle, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, as well as smart TVs, free Wi-Fi, reverse-cycle or individual climate control, block-out curtains and off-street parking. The motel has 32 rooms across two levels, with open-air passageways rather than enclosed corridors or lifts. Rooms are serviced daily, and all are non-smoking.

The shared facilities give the property more space to unwind than a basic overnight stop. Guests can use the solar-heated pool and heated spa, with direct access from the motel, and there is an alfresco BBQ area with covered seating. Complimentary cruiser bikes are available for exploring the local area, subject to booking with reception. Parking is provided on site, including spaces suitable for trailers, caravans or trucks. Reception offers 24-hour check-in, which may suit travellers arriving outside standard daytime hours.

Breakfast can be arranged as cooked room service, delivered between 7am and 9am, and group breakfast deals are available by prior arrangement. The motel also lists romantic, bed-and-breakfast and family packages, including a family option with a kids’ welcome package and access to the pool and spa. Groups can book rooms together, with the team offering local knowledge and a pre-bookable seven-seat minivan. With its mix of apartments, kitchenettes, parking, pool facilities and nearby dining, Merewether Motel suits families, groups, couples and travellers wanting a convenient place to stay near Newcastle’s beachside precincts.
