About the Stay

Merewether House 1910 is a rare blend of old world charm and modern coastal comfort. Originally dating back to 1910, the home has been carefully restored to preserve its heritage character while adding the refined finishes guests expect from a luxury coastal escape.

Inside, the home feels warm, generous and beautifully considered. Think soaring ceilings, period detailing, elegant interiors, multiple living spaces and plenty of room to gather or unwind separately.

Two king bedrooms and two queen bedrooms
Multiple living areas for families and groups
Gas fireplaces for cosy cooler season stays
Gourmet kitchen with marble finishes and premium appliances
Private plunge pool for warmer days
Outdoor terrace and alfresco dining space
Laundry facilities, WiFi and family friendly amenities
Self check in and professional AirKeeper management

It is the kind of place made for slow mornings, beach walks, long lunches, relaxed dinners and comfortable evenings in.

Wake up in a beautifully restored 1910 home, walk to the beach, spend the afternoon by the plunge pool, enjoy dinner nearby or settle in by the fireplace: an easy, elegant way to experience Newcastle’s coastal lifestyle.

Sleeps Up to 8: Perfect for Families, Groups and Special Stays

Across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, Merewether House is ideal for guests who want space, comfort and flexibility. The bedding configuration includes:

  • King bedroom
  • Queen bedroom
  • King bedroom
  • Queen bedroom

This layout works beautifully for families, couples travelling together, wedding guests, corporate travellers and small groups planning a special stay in Newcastle.

The multiple living spaces are a real advantage. Guests can come together for meals, drinks and time by the fire, while still having enough room to retreat and relax. In summer, the plunge pool and outdoor terrace make the home feel like a private coastal retreat. In winter, the fireplaces and rich interiors bring a completely different kind of atmosphere.

Moments from Merewether Beach and Ocean Baths

The location is one of the biggest reasons this home stands out. If you are searching for Merewether Beach accommodation, this property places you close to one of Newcastle’s most loved coastal pockets. From here, guests can enjoy the beach, the famous Merewether Ocean Baths, local cafés, boutique shopping, dining and the relaxed rhythm of Newcastle’s seaside lifestyle.

Merewether Ocean Baths are one of the area’s best known attractions and are often described as the largest ocean baths in the Southern Hemisphere. They are free to access and loved by both locals and visitors.

Merewether Beach also sits at the southern end of Newcastle’s Bathers Way coastal walk, giving guests an easy way to explore the coastline, take in the ocean views and enjoy one of Newcastle’s most scenic stretches.

It is a coastal convenience without losing the feeling of a proper escape.

A Heritage Home Made for Special Occasions

Merewether House is more than a coastal holiday rental. Its heritage architecture, elegant styling and central location make it a beautiful choice for stays that feel a little more important.

It is especially well suited to bridal parties and wedding guests looking for refined accommodation close to Newcastle’s beaches, restaurants and event venues. Micro weddings may also be considered on request with host approval, which makes the property a unique option for intimate celebrations.

Whether you are planning a milestone weekend, family gathering, corporate trip or a relaxed coastal escape, this home offers the right balance of sophistication, comfort and location.
