Very friendly staff who helped us make the most of our time in Newcastle. We received wine and cheese on arrival which was amazing. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. Breakfast was included and very tasty with a good portion size. Comfy bed and plenty of space in the room. Plenty of street parking around the place and close to train/bus routes if you’d prefer to leave the car behind. We really enjoyed our stay!

the property was cleaned to the very highest standard, which is extremely important to us. The owners were very polite, friendly, and explained everything clearly. The bed was really comfy. It was easy to access the tea/coffee unit and the biscuits were an extra touch, as was the offer of a wine or beer. The area is VERY quiet. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into creating a great experience for guests. This was our first experience using a B&B, and we found it to be perfect.We cannot think of anything that would improve the stay. Thanks so much to the lovely hosts.

This place is excellent! Comfortable, clean, modern, beautifully appointed, it's 5 star quality and the owners are REALLY nice people. The breakfast is always great as is the coffee! Coveniently located with a great choice of eateries and restaurants 100 meters up the road. This is my first and only choice when I stay in Newcastle.

Peaceful but convenient location
There's nothing more likely to test the equilibrium of your hosts, than spilling (what looked like a whole bottle but was in fact partial contents of a wine glass....ok, a big wine glass) of RED wine over pristine white bed linen of your lovely room. They passed the test, tho I saw a hint of dismay when Julie was told of the calamity. Well, it would test any saint. Otherwise, our stay was smooth and suited our purpose. Close to Hamilton's Beaumont Street, close to the city beaches, but providing a quiet retreat when we needed a mid-afternoon break. Not suited to kids....but then, that was another 'tick' from our side. Admit we misread description and thought we had own kitchenette facility, but for the short stay, it wasn't a problem - and it was our stuff-up. The on-site parking is limited, but if we'd have missed out (we didn't) there seems to be no problem with on street free parking. And it feels a safe enough area to not worry about leaving the car out overnight. A nice, civilised break from the not-so-civilised Sydney life. If there's a next time, we'll have the Sauvignon Blanc...

Great location in Newcastle.
Lovely B&B with very friendly hosts in Newcastle. Great location near all on offer in Beaumont Street in Hamilton. Room & ensuite was very attractive & very clean. Nice little touches like chocolates an added bonus. I did find the bed was a little uncomfortable for me - others might not be so concerned. It'd also be nice if breakfast was on offer after 8am - lots of people on holiday don't get up that early.

Short stay
We were the only ones staying, so had the benefit of the off-street car park in the garage. The room itself was comfortable, and lovely and clean. Our hosts were available but unobtrusive - perfect.

We stayed here to be close to McDonald Jones Stadium to watch the Matilda's play, it was an easy 20 minute walk to the stadium and only 1 block from Beaumont st for drinks and food at a trendy bar before the game. Parking was easy in front of the BnB, the room was modern and comfortable with a massive spa bath. The price included breakfast, we chose muesli with yoghurt, fresh fruit and local honey and fruit toast with vanilla ricotta which was a delicious way to start the day. The owners were friendly and told us where to find the seal at Nobbys beach light house and we also saw a bonus pod of dolphins. Overall we had a great time in Newcastle and would easily recommend staying at the Chaucer Palms BnB.
