Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Cooks Hill

The Bamboo House is a great place for a family getaway or small group of friends. Very private with a lovely garden, and filtered water views. The lounge room in the morning was beautifully sunny! Anita was very helpful with excellent instructions our stay. Corner shops nearby and a short drive to lakes and beaches.

Our family loved staying here. Great sized house and yard. Lots of things to do in area. Air cons were icy cold👍🏻. Only downfall was the road is very busy and hard to get in and out of driveway due to so much traffic. Wouldn’t stop us staying again though. Thanks Monique

I had a fantastic stay at this lovely Airbnb! The deck was my favorite spot, perfect for sipping coffee while soaking in the sound of the waves and the breathtaking views. Walking beside the water was a highlight, offering serene moments and picturesque scenery. The home itself was incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered by Genina, our amazing host. She truly went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience. I can't recommend this place enough!

Highest recommendation possible for Armando & his gorgeous home. We had issues with another airbnb & Armando was very understanding & accommodating last minute. Our teens were surprised & delighted to find A had left some chocolate bars for our arrival, a thoughtful treat after our holiday disruption. The peaceful and well thought out gardens, complete with water feature & large goldfish really are amazing. The home & beds are very comfortable, tastefully decorated. The ducted air conditioning made the difference in the heat, with sleeping and during the day when we were resting after being out at the beaches, shopping 5 mins up the road at Westfield Kotara, op shopping at various vintage 2nd hand stores, finding bubble tea or visiting Taronga Zoo in Sydney. There's so much to do and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Having 2 showers with toilets & a bath is always helpful. This home truly is amazing, as is Armando. Grab some cooking oil, your food & luggage & enjoy this home!

Really nice house, our kids loved it. We found the pillows a bit soft but that’s personal preference. Had a lovely stay, thank you

Had an amazing stay while travelling up the coast with my floofers. The house was beautifully appointed, utterly spotless, and quite comfortable. I wish I could've stayed for longer. The private yard was also extremely appreciated. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

In a spot where you can walk to essentials plus multiple choice of beaches. Parking can be an issue if you take more than one car, but still doable. The cozy cottage is the correct name for it. Feels like a warm hug after a stressful day. Considering how small it is, there are about 4 or 5 different spots to unwind depending on you taste.. balcony, back courtyard, front sun room, lounge. It also has the old wood smell that you can only get in older houses.

The location is great, place is clean and modern. Street parking was a bit tricky on a sunny weekend as it is minutes from the beach, but we managed.

Rose's apartment ticked all the boxes for our recent stay in Newcastle. The apartment was pristine clean, light filled and very comfortable. And its location is the best in Newcastle, with short walks to Darby St, Bar Beach, Hunter Street and the Cricketers Arms literally just around the corner (a bonus surprise and perfect for that relaxing post activity schooner in the afternoon). As regular interstate visitors to Newcastle we have stayed in Port Stephens, Merewether, Honeysuckle and Hunter Street but Cooks Hill generally and Rose's apartment specifically is the pick of Newcastle locations. It is also simple and easy to get to from Newcastle Airport. Thank you Rose for allowing us to stay in your lovely apartment and we have now found our 'go to' apartment for our future stays, of which there will be many.

Great spot, super close to the beach and cafes. Would stay again and would definitely recommend to others

We had a great stay at Caves Beach - the apartment was well appointed and had everything we needed for our brief stay. There was plenty of space for 3 couples, and despite some average weather, we enjoyed using the balcony which had some awesome views. It was in walking distance to the beach, and we were so appreciative of Donna for accommodating our additional request needs! Thank you! The only suggestions I can make for future guests stays would be cleanliness - There was sand in the main bathroom, and the sofa had quite a few stains, as well as the carpets. I know these things happen over time with airbnb's, so it didnt affect our stay, but would suggest a deep clean!

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

Thanks so much for having us. Your place in a great location which allowed us to fully explore what Newcastle had to offer!

We stayed here for two nights to wrap up our two-week holiday, and it was truly the cherry on top! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the room was beautifully laid out and spotless—such a perfect place to end our adventure. The hosts were fantastic—so friendly and easy to communicate with, making our stay even more enjoyable. Just a little heads-up: Newcastle is quite hilly, so while the walk down to the cafes and beach is a breeze, the trek back up is a bit of a workout—but we didn’t mind the extra exercise! Also, the little basket of snacks and cereal you get was the cutest touch. We were too busy being tourists and eating out to enjoy it, but it was such a thoughtful detail. Honestly, we couldn’t fault a thing. Thank you for making the end of our trip so wonderful!

We had an amazing stay at Steve's place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to all the local attractions. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome chocolate and local recommendations. The communication with Steve was excellent from start to finish. He was responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we would love to stay here again!

Bianca's apartment was gorgeous. It had everything we needed plus! The mood created with decorative lamps, plants and luxurious fabrics was warm and inviting. The bed and linen, beautiful to look at and sleeping was a dream. We really enjoyed the privacy of the balcony, it was like another room of the apartment. Comfortable and again lots of plants and special fabrics and cushions. We walked everywhere, watched huge container ships coming into the port. Lots to see, beaches, historical buildings and lots of areas to walk or ride along. Restaurants & coffee shops and of course, unique boutiques and retro shops to explore. We would definitely stay there again.
