Places to stay in Newcastle?

We stayed in Nelson bay last year, $570 for 5 nights at Côte d'Azur ... Coles is on the corner, 2bedroom BIG apartment! Pool too. Walking distance to everything!

Think that may just be the wrong Newcastle

I second the Nelson Bay area but it is a bit of drive in to Newcastle, from memory 45 minute - an hour. We have stayed at Noah's on the Beach, which is right near Nobby's, but no pool (that we found) and rooms were small with kids. It was more of an overnight trip than a 'holiday', so to speak.
