Merewether House 1910 - Iconic and Luxury Home

Just moments from the golden sands of Merewether Beach and the legendary Ocean Baths, this beautifully restored residence places you at the heart of Newcastle’s most coveted coastal lifestyle. Wander to vibrant cafés, boutique shopping, and acclaimed dining precincts with ease, then return home to your own private sanctuary of calm and refinement.

Welcome to Merewether House — a landmark 1910 residence where heritage elegance meets contemporary coastal luxury. Behind its timeless façade lies a thoughtfully curated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, rich with character and elevated by modern sophistication. Soaring ceilings, intricate period detailing, and expansive sun-drenched windows create an atmosphere of grandeur and warmth, inviting you to slow down and savour every moment.

In the cooler months, the home comes alive with warmth and atmosphere — curl up by the gas fireplaces in the main living room, surrounded by designer furnishings including a striking rug and exquisite Catherine Martin textiles that add a touch of theatrical elegance.

During the warner season, unwind beside the sparkling plunge pool or linger on the outdoor terrace, where long afternoons melt into golden-hour cocktails beneath the coastal sky. Inside, multiple living spaces offer comfort and charm, from plush lounge rooms anchored by inviting fireplaces to an intimate dining nook perfectly positioned for sunset glow.

The gourmet kitchen is a true centrepiece fitted with marble finishes, premium appliances, and everything needed to create memorable meals with ease and style.

Retreat upstairs to beautifully appointed bedrooms dressed in soft linens and sumptuous bedding, designed for deep rest and indulgent comfort. The bathrooms offer a spa-like escape, complete with generous soaking baths, bubbles provided for the ultimate winter unwind.

For something truly special, ascend to the turret and take in sweeping views stretching from the city skyline to the ocean horizon — the perfect vantage point for sunrise coffees or sunset reflections.

Merewether House is ideal for families, couples, or corporate stays seeking a refined coastal escape. It is also perfectly suited for bridal parties and wedding guests looking for elegant, convenient accommodation. Micro-weddings may be considered upon request with host approval.

A rare blend of heritage soul and coastal sophistication — Merewether House offers an unforgettable stay in one of Newcastle’s most iconic homes.

This property offers self-check-in. One set of keys is provided per booking. If you require additional keys, please contact us at least 48 hours before arrival; otherwise, a call-out fee may apply. Access is provided via a secure lockbox located on-site.

Guests are welcome to use on-site BBQs where provided. All safety guidelines must be followed, including supervising children and ensuring the BBQ is turned off after use. BBQs must be cleaned thoroughly after use; failure to do so will incur additional cleaning charges. Any damage resulting from misuse will be billed to the guest.

Private pools are professionally maintained only from the September to Easter school holidays. Outside this period, use is at guests’ risk, with minimal maintenance; leaves or debris may accumulate, and light upkeep may be needed. Sunscreen or tanning products can affect water quality, and neither the owner nor AirKeeper is liable.

Where fireplaces and outdoor fire pits are advertised, they are only available in winter and subject to local fire restrictions; some properties provide a starter pack of firewood, while others do not, so guests must review their check-in details to confirm what is supplied and ensure fires are fully extinguished and the area left clean after use.

Guest Registration & Verification: All guests must complete electronic guest registration prior to arrival, including valid photo ID (Driver’s Licence or Passport), credit/debit card details, and a list of all guests with current mobile numbers. These documents are securely stored with industry-standard encryption and automatically deleted 14 days after check-out, in line with PCI compliance, and access codes are only issued to registered and verified guests. Any reservation made within 5 days of arrival requires a photo of a credit card in the same full name as the primary guest, matching the provided ID. If the names do not match, the booking will be cancelled and funds returned. This policy is in place to protect our guests, our property owners, and the community.

Pre-Authorisation / Security Deposit: A security bond or pre-authorisation will be required to cover accidental damage, breakages, or extra cleaning costs. Guests will be notified of the amount and method of payment prior to arrival. Any claims for damages will be documented and communicated clearly.

Noise & No-Party Policy: All of our properties are located in residential areas and are subject to strict local noise regulations. Noise that can be heard outside the property between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM is strictly prohibited. Parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted under any circumstances. Breaches of this policy may result in immediate eviction, forfeiture of your bond, and additional charges.

Complimentary WiFi is provided by the property owner for guest use. As this connection is managed by a third-party provider, AirKeeper cannot guarantee speed or reliability and does not offer compensation for any service interruptions. AirKeeper will provide troubleshooting assistance to guests where possible but cannot be held liable for reception or signal issues beyond our control.

Linen, Towels & Amenities: Guests receive a full set of bed linen and one bath towel; pool, lake, and beach towels are not provided. Extra towels or linen can be requested 7 days prior, possibly with a charge. A basic bathroom and kitchen starter pack is supplied, but guests should bring additional items as needed for their stay.

Departure Responsibilities: Upon departure, all properties must be returned in a clean condition. While a general clean is included in your rental, excess cleaning charges will apply for items such as dirty dishes, stained linen, food or drink spills, BBQ cleaning, or rubbish not disposed of in outside bins. If bin night occurs during your stay, please ensure the bins are placed on the curb as instructed in your pre-arrival email; failure to do so may incur tipping fees. Any additional cleaning or disposal charges will be communicated and deducted from your security bond.

Cancellations made less than 30 days before check-in will forfeit 100% of the booking value.

Long Stays (28 nights or more): Within 48 hours of booking creation: Full refund.
