Hotel Novocastrian

From art galleries to the beach, scuba diving to mountain climbing, discovering wildlife or the nightlife, Newcastle is truly a city of exploration. Newcastle is a city revitalised, with its magnificent forshore, breezy walks, sunsparkled cafes, and many restored historic buildings.

One of Newcastle's favourite parks, King Edward Park, has breathtaking sunken gardens, a rotunda, an obelisk and panoramic views that sweep across the ocean ideal for family picnics. The Bogey hole near King Edward Park offers a refreshing place to cool off. Originally designed as a swimming hole for officers from the convict era, the Bogey hole boasts a stunning pool carved from Newcastle's strikingly sheer cliffs.

For historical buffs, Fort Scratchley is a must see. Just 200 metres from the Novocastrian, fort Scratchley was an operational fort during the second world war. Lose yourself in time and discover for yourself a centrepiece of Newcastle's history.

For the Energetic at heart, parts of the Great North Walk are just waiting to be conquered!
