About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The funky terrace

This brand new, architect designed home has oak floors, a stone bath in a sensational ensuite, gorgeous amenities and sits in the coolest of Newcastle's inner 'burbs. Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the river to the harbour. Sample the excellent cafe right across the street. Everything is closeby.

Downstairs is a living and kitchen area. Everything is high quality. The kitchen has a ceramic cooktop, nice oven (with airfry) and excellent new cooking equipment. There's even two different ways to make your morning espresso :).

Netflix is available downstairs

Upstairs are two rooms. The first space is multipurpose. It has both a bed and a study nook plus an old-school Bang & Olufsen tv with a built in dvd player. It’s cool but only runs DVDs.

A floor-to-ceiling curtain and a large bookshelf create a 'hallway' to offer considerable privacy to the space. PLEASE don't expect this to be fully private.

The ensuite is... awesome. It's set up to have the option to be fully open to the bedroom or to be made (semi) private with a curtain. (see the floor plan please). There's a large shower with a rain showerhead and a stunning (and massive) stone bath.

Note again that the ensuite is the only bathroom.

Both beds have brilliant - like award winning - new mattresses.

The un-finished funky terrace...
This little house was located in a great spot and the cafe across the road served us well. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was clear the place was mid-renovation. The driveway was completely inaccessible, there was building materials and equipment everywhere and we wondered if it was safe to enter the front porch. Once inside it was clear we were correct; it was mid renovation… stove top not recessed, half painted walls, missing roof cornice and water proofing sticking out from under walls… It was fine for our weekend trip, in fact we slept beautifully and no real danger in its incompleteness however the lack of fire alarms was a tad concerning! We really like the little place, it’s cute, convenient and the owners definitely have a great taste and style in furniture … we would certainly like to return in a years time to see it when its finished!

Visited Newcastle to meet up with family. Tighes Hill was close to all the places I needed to be. It was a quiet location, easy to find, coffee shop across the road. The rooms in the Funky Terrace were a good size. Met up with the cleaner as we were leaving - she is lovely.

Very comfortable. Great location. Perfect for our needs. I think listing should stress that the only toilet/bathroom is through one of the bedrooms.
