Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cessnock

We absolutely loved our stay at Julie’s place, very charming old house in a private yet very central location. The views are incredible and the place was cozy and well equipped. Highly recommended

Thanks for having us Kylie, the place was perfect for our extended family weekend getaway.

Beautiful and spacious home that had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. Great communication and received all the information we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend this property for families and friends wanting to enjoy a weekend by the beach!

Home had everything we needed. The little touches of condiments and books/toys for the kids was a lovely touch. Instructions were easy to follow and made check in easy.

caves beach is absolutely beautiful and the Williams house is in a perfect location. Two beaches very close by and walkable and plenty other activities to do in the surrounding. The house is perfectly set up for families with kids and the views are stunning. We actually thought the pictures do not do the views and house justice.

very nice place to stay - comfortable and in a nice area

Great space inside Great having 2 decks well equipped kitchen Great having table tennis set up down.stairs

The positives are many: supercomfy beds, generous towels, thoughtful little touches like milk and condiments in the kitchen, boardgames for the kids and a beautiful garden. Belinda's charming weatherboard house is in a quiet location but an easy drive or walk from the centre of town. Thanks, Belinda. We loved our stay.

Perfect spot so close to the beach, cafes and busy Darby street without being noisy. Apartment was very clean and comfy. Much more spacious than the place seems in the photos but still had a homely feel. We were very happy here and would stay again!

Donna's place was fantastic for our family get together after visiting Newcastle for the day. It is in a great location, close to the beach with a great coffee shop down stairs. The apartment is spacious with great views. Donna is a very responsive host and extremely flexible with check in and check out. We will be back.

Our stay was great. Very convenient to everything The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It’s better than the photos. We will return again.

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Mulubinba. The apartment was clean and tidy, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed having coffee on the balcony and watching the birds. Darby Street is close by and offers some high quality food and shops. We would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay at Steve's place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect—quiet, yet close to all the local attractions. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome chocolate and local recommendations. The communication with Steve was excellent from start to finish. He was responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Bianca’s. The location was perfect, easily walkable to cafés, restaurants, harbour walk, beach, lighthouse, etc. The apartment was very well supplied with dishes and appliances. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, having a drink, and listening to and watching the birds at dusk. We had a kookaburra that sat each evening on a branch right by the balcony. We would definitely stay again.

Wrens place is perfectly located and a beautiful little retreat from the hustle and bustle of Hunter St and Honeysuckle harbourside. It was spotless, with thoughtful features and amenities and great communication and handy tips from Sarah. Thank you!

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Beautiful villa in a lovely setting. Very clean and comfortable

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.
