About the host
Hosted by Danielle
I'm a Newcastle East local and grew up in Cooks Hill which is just nearby. I love living in Newcastle East for the beach lifestyle as I love the ocean and being in the heart of the city. I love going out for a great meal locally, having a few cocktails at a nearby bar or just walking around the local area enjoying the vibe.
I stumbled upon hosting when we purchased one of the iconic terraces in Newcastle East a few years ago. The property had long term tenants and was in need of some TLC as it was old and tired. My husband suggested short term rentals and things just grew from there.
With a background in Business Development and Strata Management, I have experience in the property industry and a lot of experience in customer service. Hospitality just went hand in hand with my background. I'm also a bit of neat freak so I pride myself on the meticulous presentation of our property for our guests. I have become so passionate about our beautiful business in the short term hosting space, that I can't imagine doing anything else in the near future. I've found my calling!

Why they chose this property
Newcastle East has an amazing vibe. There is a beautiful sense of community and a relaxed, feel-good aura as you walk around the historic, beachside streets.
Sunday afternoons are a great time to get out and explore, with local restaurants and bars contributing to the chilled out scene. Scotties Fish Cafe is a favourite of locals where they will occasionally have a DJ under the palm trees outside with locals flocking to lay out their picnic rugs and grab some fish and chips to eat under the trees and the colour string lights. It's situated in the middle of Zaara Street which looks down to Newcastle Beach.
Walking around is so easy as it only takes 5-10 mins to get to some of the local restaurant gems. The light rail is in the middle of Scott Street, which makes it convenient to get down town, should you wish to explore the West End aswell.
The scenery is gorgeous, with beaches and swimming spots within walking distance. There are lookouts and local walking tracks conveniently located near the property. Parks and playgrounds for a spot of fitness or a play with the kids.
If you're after a healthy bite to eat, smoothie, or Acai bowl, check out The Kiosk at Newcastle Beach or the locally owned juice bar in Hunter Street for a juice, yoghurt, soup or fruit salad. .
