Newcastle West NSW 2302

This boutique apartment complex is just the latest iteration of this heritage building – with its history weaved amongst the arrival of the railway to Newcastle and goldfield fortunes to the start of Newy's LGBTQI culture and the infamous Star Hotel riot of 1979. Originally built in 1855 by Scottish settlers The Star Hotel had a long history before becoming one of Newcastle's most infamous pubs! The best Aussie bands played here in its heyday and there is even a Cold Chisel song named after this iconic location.

Things are a little more chill here now. In the last decade, several of the buildings here were reinvented as boutique apartments, complete with common area and courtyard. Unit number 115 itself boasts a modern kitchen with Bosch appliances that opens onto the living space with soaring ceilings and 3 step cornices. It has a contemporary vibe with chic black framed windows and lockout blinds, its own separate air conditioning system, a sleek bathroom and bike parking for those keen to live the inner urban life to the fullest. The pub has new owners who now offer a Bottomless Brunch – all the mimosa and tapas you can consume - alongside fabulous pub grub.

Live the rock star lifestyle in this 1 bedroom apartment within walking distance of EVERYTHING the eclectic Newcastle CBD has to offer. Head out for brunch at the Happy Wombat, catch the light rail to the beach for a surf or a swim and book a show at the grand Civic Theatre – a musical or maybe a visiting comedian. It is all within an easy stroll of this fantastic apartment! Access is via the now quiet and pretty Devonshire St – a private, festoon-lit alley – or off King Street. You will be surprised at how quite this location is given its proximity to all that our fabulous coastal city has to offer.
