Nestled in the sought-after inner-city suburb of The Hill, this fantastic two-bedroom apartment is surrounded by Newcastle’s surf, walking trails, ocean baths and trendy dining precincts. You’ll find Strzelecki Lookout directly at the bottom of the street, where you can take in impressive views across the coastline, keeping your eyes peeled for migrating whales. Inside, the apartment is designed to reflect its relaxed coastal surroundings. It showcases bright and airy interiors with high ceilings and timber beams, thoughtfully styled with all the creature comforts of home. Sip your morning coffee on the sun-soaked balcony, courtesy of a Nespresso coffee machine, and whip up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen replete with an oven, stove, fridge, microwave and dishwasher for easy clean-up. A four-person dining table makes it easy to enjoy a shared home cooked meal and doubles as a dedicated workspace. Kick back on the sofas and unwind with a spot of TV with a sound system and free Wi-Fi throughout. Air-conditioning keeps things comfortable year-round. In the evenings rest easy in two well-sized bedrooms. The main has a sumptuous king-sized bed, while the second bedroom has a comfortable queen. Both are dressed in luxury linens to ensure a good night’s sleep and feature built-in wardrobes with plenty of space for storing your belongings. For those staying with newborns and young children, a travel cot is available for your convenience. The fresh, clean white bathroom comes with a bathtub – perfect for enjoying a soak after a busy day – spacious shower, toilet and mirrored vanity. Complimentary toiletries, as well as a hair dryer, are provided for your stay. Guests will also benefit from a convenient internal laundry room with a washing machine, dryer and iron. The apartment comes with secure parking on-premise for one car.
