memorable stay

we stayed at the diamond chalet when we came up for a wedding in Newcastle and the hunter valley. It was a wonderful stay, from the cleanliness, to the extremely comfortable beds, all the creature comforts we could need. It was a haven in a very busy 3 days. The location was a bonus- being so close to all the cafes etc. The host, Jacqui was extremely helpful with information about local cafes/walks etc. We look forward to coming again and would definitely try to stay here again and explore the local area more. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Perfect house for family reunion

We knew we’d made a great decision from the moment we walked in the door. This house is well appointed with everything you might need and all beds including the pull out sofa bed were super comfy. The layout was particularly good for our party of 7 people and we made use of the outside BBQ and table as well. Great fun and easy to feel at home in. We felt well looked after by our host Jacqui, communication was excellent and we would definitely return .

Absolutely Stunning

This Chalet was beautiful- host Jacqui provided great details for check in as well as a number of surrounding coffee and food recommendations which made the whole stay seamless & easy. The location was great, so close to everything yet still so peaceful. The house itself was absolutely jaw-dropping, beautiful furniture and features throughout- not to mention an amazing purple princess lounge as well as cute little toiletry bags for each of the guests. Thank you for having us & we will definitely be back! :)

Comfortable Stay

This property was very comfortable for our party of 5 and the location proved to be the perfect kick-off point for our push bike adventures (by far the best way to get around inner-city Newcastle - where parking is quite limited).

Fabulous 3 night stay.

What a wonderful surprise. The property far exceeded our expectations - a luxurious property with 5 star elegance all the way.This was a much better choice than staying in a hotel. We were 3 mature aged couples one night and then 2 couples for the other two nights. The attention to detail was awesome. Everything we needed was included - right down to the provision of 6 large umbrellas to use (we stayed during the worst weather we'd had for quite some time). We didn't get to enjoy the lovely outdoor area, because of the weather but enjoyed evening around the fire instead. Jacqui made the whole booking process a breeze and also supplied a wealth of information on the local area and activities. Highly recommended accommodation.
