Holiday in Newcastle

A Host of Interesting Attractions

Newcastle holidays give you the time to explore the best spots. Take the Heritage Walking Track, past 1870s stone bridge abutments, and an old mine or follow The Bathers Way Walk or ANZAC Memorial Walk along the coastline with its breathtaking panorama. 

Take a relaxing dip at Merewether Ocean Baths, one of the many beaches or at the iconic Bogey Hole. Glenrock State Conservation Area is out of the city with walking trails that lead through bushland to spots like Burwood Beach and Glenrock Lagoon.

Explore Newcastle’s history with a visit to the Newcastle Museum, Nobby’s Lighthouse, Fort Scratchley Historic Site, enjoy a show in the 1920s Civic Theatre or take a ride on the Newcastle Famous Tram. Stroll the city streets, popping into art galleries, boutiques, trendy cafes or the weekly craft and farmers market. Newcastle tours are another wonderful way to see this colourful city’s popular sights.

Coach Tours from Newcastle

Newcastle has enough to keep visitors occupied for days, but there’s even more to explore right on its doorstep. Located in the Hunter Region, Newcastle is bordered by Port Stephens in the north, Lake Macquarie to the south, Cessnock in the west with the Pacific Ocean to the east.

Less than an hour west of Newcastle is the fabulous Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine region with over 200 years of winemaking history and over 150 cellar doors. A Newcastle trip to the Hunter Valley travels past rolling green hills, stopping off at quaint villages and savouring local produce along the way.

As if Newcastle’s beaches weren’t enough, coach trips from Newcastle take visitors north to Port Stephens and the striking shorelines of Nelson Bay, Fingal Bay and Anna Bay. A short drive south of Newcastle is Lake Macquarie, a nature lovers paradise boasting the largest saltwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere.
