Top Hotels Near Bathers Way Trailhead in Newcastle from NZ$84

"Always good"

"We stayed at QT Newcastle expecting a premium experience given the price point, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The hotel certainly looks stylish and modern, but the experience felt more about appearance than substance. The room itself was an acceptable size and the décor is trendy, but it didn’t fully translate into comfort or practicality. Some finishes already felt worn and the attention to detail was lacking. The in-room offerings also felt surprisingly stingy. For a room booked for two guests there was only one tea bag, no complimentary water, and only one robe provided. These are small things, but at this price level they feel basic and expected. Our arrival experience was also frustrating. We arrived early and were told the room wasn’t ready, which was fine, but reception said they would contact us when it was ready and never did. We had to follow up ourselves. Breakfast was another disappointment. Our rate included breakfast and we were given the opening hours, but what wasn’t disclosed is that the kitchen switches to a very limited menu well before closing (around 1 hour on weekends and 1.5 hours on weekdays). At that point the only option was an egg and bacon roll or vegetarian equivalent, meaning items we had paid for were no longer available. This wasn’t communicated and the response from staff was not particularly apologetic. Overall the stay felt disappointing and not worth the money. There are plenty of better choices in Newcastle."

"Short walk to shops and plenty of water views, beach, restaurants and quiet."

"Room was clean and fresh"

"The staff were really excellent and did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable."

"Friendly and efficient check in. Great sized room - very clean and well set out. Really liked the location - right in the heart of Darby Street, close to lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Will definitely stay again when we’re next in Newcastle. "

"Room needs a real good deep clean - lots of grime in the corners and on the skirtings, smudges on mirrors and glass, foul odour coming from the shower drain. I requested a late check out but the cleaners barged in at 10am on the dot (the time of the original check out time). A couple of the staff members were lovely and a couple others were very unhelpful - asking them anything seemed like a bother and they gave very short 'yes' or 'no' responses with a sigh. A bit of a strange location without any vibe. "

"Room was nice and roomy Sheets clean and bathroom was spacious. Staff accommodating when we had an extra person We will definitely stay here again if the need arises 😀 Air con not working and asked for it to be fixed which it was cooler but a bit rattly Shame their isn’t a small flyer to tell you where shops are and about the club as not everyone relies on the phone I.e us oldies and county bumpkins "

"We always enjoy our stays at Merewether Motel. Friendly reception staff, clean rooms."
