About the host
Hosted by Danielle
Hi, I’m a Newcastle East local through and through — I grew up just around the corner in Cooks Hill, and the ocean has always been my happy place. Living here means I get the best of both worlds: salty swims and sandy toes one minute, cocktails and good food the next. I’m equally happy chatting over a margarita at a local bar as I am wandering the streets soaking up the laid-back city vibe.
My hosting journey started a little unexpectedly when we bought one of the iconic terraces in Newcastle East. It was full of character but in need of some serious love. What began as “let’s see how this goes” quickly turned into something I adore.
I’ve always had a love for property, design, and making people feel at home — and I’ll admit I’m a bit of a neat freak (presentation is everything!). Creating a space that’s both beautiful and welcoming came naturally, and it’s become something I’m truly passionate about.
Now, a few years in, I can honestly say I’ve found my calling. Hosting brings together my love of this stunning city, my eye for detail, and my joy in sharing Newcastle’s best bits with visitors from all over.

Why they chose this property
Newcastle East has a vibe that’s hard to beat — think historic streets, beachy breezes, and a relaxed, feel-good energy everywhere you go. Sundays are magic here: locals picnic under the palm trees at Scotties Fish Café, sometimes with a DJ spinning tunes, fish and chips in hand and string lights twinkling above.
Everything’s super walkable — cafes, restaurants, beaches, lookouts, and playgrounds are all just minutes away. Pop on the light rail, and you can be downtown or exploring the West End in no time. Whether you’re after a lazy beach day, a healthy smoothie, or a cheeky cocktail with a view, Newcastle East has you covered.

What makes this property unique
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill short-term rental — our terrace has personality! Vintage touches meet sophisticated charm, creating a space that’s full of character yet freshly renovated so it still feels brand new. We’ve kept some of the original features too, giving it that special, one-of-a-kind feel.
Ocean glimpses, sunlight galore from two skylights, and plenty of windows mean you can soak up the salty sea breezes and the kind of sunshine that makes everything feel a little more healing.
And yes, we’re a little obsessive about presentation — spotless, immaculate, and sparkling clean is our standard. You’ll walk in and feel instantly at home… and a little impressed too.
