With its stunning coastline and trendy lifestyle, Merewether is one of the most sought-after areas of Newcastle. This charming beach house has undergone a stunning renovation to provide contemporary and laidback living that captures the essence of Merewether. Step inside, through a storybook white picket fence, and you’ll immediately feel at home. Through the front door and you’ll find yourself in the open plan living and dining area. There is spacious sofa seating for relaxing after a busy day and a central TV for cosy night’s in. The kitchen is designed around a central island bench and comes fully equipped with an oven, stove, microwave and dishwasher for easy clean up. Sit up at the breakfast bar or come together at the dining table, which can double as a dedicated workspace for those on business. Out into the courtyard and you’ll find a BBQ (perfect for cooking up a storm) and alfresco furniture where you can easily while away an afternoon. The property comes with two bedrooms, both stylishly presented with premium linens for your stay. The master has a queen-sized bed, while the second bedroom comes with a double bed and single bed. This creates convenience for those travelling in a group or with kids. An immaculate bathroom highlights a shower, toilet and basin and includes an internal washing machine for your holiday use. Free street parking is available.

The popular seaside suburb of Merewether in Newcastle is famed for its surf beach, trendy cafes and beautiful local boutiques.
