I had a private room. It was very quiet, had a fan and lovely view. Location is close to the beach and park with a quick walk to city centre. It’s a grand old building with lots of charm and very comfy bed. Dream sleep. Bathrooms clean.

If you like modern and flashy, this is not for you. It's a beautiful old building a stone's throw from the stunning Newcastle beach. Had a double room with fan & TV, even a view of the sea! Perfect for my needs. Will be back :)

This is a drop of paradise i don’t know why more people don’t come here, the property is massive, old fashioned and well kept. Free surfboards and wet suits to borrow, the common areas are stunning and packed with things to do. If you're going up the east coast you have to stop here for a couple nights on your way up to brisbane or down to Sydney you won’t regret it. Seriously!

There was one lady staff who were so kind. Due to my knee injuries, she helped me look for a bottom bed bunk herself and found me the best shared room. Thank you so much indeed. I am still very grateful till this day. The areas around this YHA were really nice - refreshing and relaxing. I'm wishing to visit there again.

It was a great location, nice facilities and an easy time. We did have a car and it is paid parking all around the area is 2 hours between 9am - 6pm Mon-Friday. Nobby's and Mereweather Beach offer 4 hours free parking and I am sure there will be other locations to find around the area. Didn't affect our experience
