Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:

The home is located in Mayfield East, a convenient inner-Newcastle suburb close to parks, cycleways and everyday amenities. You can walk to local cafes, sports fields, the public swimming pool and TAFE, and it’s only a short drive to the harbour precinct, beaches and Newcastle CBD. The property sits on the edge of a light industrial area and near the train line, which is typical of this older inner-city pocket and allows easy access around Newcastle. The house has high ceilings, insulation, and window furnishings to help minimise outside noise, and guests find the home comfortable for normal day-to-day living.



Getting Around:

Newcastle Buses - Just 600m walk you will reach Maitland Road and a bus stop. This would be a convenient way to visit other suburbs outside of Newcastle City for example Kotara Westfield or Charlestown Square Shopping Centres.



Newcastle Trains - Hamilton Train Station is located just 2.5km from our conveniently located house. The train station provides an easy way to travel Sydney, the Hunter Valley or other Newcastle suburbs. Just 1 stops away is the Wickam interchange where you can take the light rail into the Newcastle CBD and beaches.



Newcastle Light Rail - Newcastle light rail runs from Newcastle Interchange in Wickham to Newcastle Beach. With six convenient stops, Newcastle light rail is a great way to explore Newcastle’s city centre. It operates from 5am to 1am, seven days a week.
