Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Novotel Newcastle Beach is a city hotel in Newcastle East, positioned close to Newcastle Beach and within easy reach of the CBD. The hotel describes the beach as a short walk away, while Newcastle railway station, The Lock-Up, Hunter Street Mall and nearby restaurants and bars are also accessible on foot. That makes it a convenient base for a coastal break, a city visit or a trip built around Newcastle’s galleries, dining, events and waterfront walks.
Accommodation ranges from Superior Rooms with a king bed or two double beds to harbour-view, balcony and family rooms. Some rooms look towards the city, courtyard or harbour, while balcony rooms offer a patio or partial ocean view. Family options sleep up to four people, including a room with a queen bed and two singles, and accessible family rooms are also available. The range gives couples, solo travellers and families several room formats to consider, without the property presenting itself as a resort-style retreat.
Bistro Dalby is the hotel’s onsite restaurant, serving breakfast and dinner seven days a week. The hotel also offers a full buffet breakfast each day, along with a bar serving drinks and snacks. Room service is available for guests who prefer to dine in their room. Beyond dining, facilities include a fitness centre, steam room and spa, with Wi-Fi, air conditioning and secure underground parking listed among the hotel services. The property is non-smoking and wheelchair accessible, and pets are not allowed.
