The Cottage Ada circa 1875 is a charming family home in the inner city suburb of Cooks Hill. Sleeping 8 across 4 bedrooms, the cottage is the perfect place to retreat after exploring all that Newcastle has to offer.

The Cottage Ada is a mix of heritage, classic and quirky! Positioned just behind Darby Streets cafes, restaurants, boutiques and bars, you are able to walk almost everywhere throughout the inner city.

Downstairs in the original house you will find the lounge room with Smart TV, leather lounge and gas heater. Large eat in kitchen with dishwasher, gas cooking, oversized bedroom with double bed and second bedroom with two king single beds. There is a bathroom with shower and laundry also on this level.

The beach, Newcastle CBD, parks, playgrounds, shops, restaurants and bars are all within walking distance to the cottage.

There is parking for one car in the carport which is accessed via the back lane. Height limit is 193cm and is best suited to small - medium sized cars as the laneway can be tight for large vehicles. Free street parking can be found in the surrounding streets for any extra cars.


Upstairs can get quite hot in the summer months, there is a reverse cycle air conditioner with a special wall exhaust fan and small cut out to help move the cold air between the bedrooms. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. Being double brick downstairs tends to stay cool and has fans and heaters.

The Cottage Ada is almost 150 years old, the house has some original features and is not recently renovated. It has been freshly painted outside and in. There are signs of age and quirkiness throughout the property which are reflected in the price, however we pride ourselves on providing a clean property with quality furniture, linen and kitchenware.

The Cottage has a 'Minut' noise monitoring system which monitors noise levels inside the house. The monitor does not record conversations it only measuring the decibels and alerts us if noise levels are unusually high.

Unfortunately we do not accept groups under 25 years old.
