Bathers Way

The once sleepy Hunter Street, is now serviced by the state-of-the-art light rail, connecting West to East and ending at Newcastle Beach.

This area is predominantly a mix of apartments and medium density living, with a number of high rises now boasting ocean and city views.

The adjoining suburbs of Cooks Hill, Bar Beach, The Junction and Merewether offer a mixture of period-style homes on large private blocks, mixed with newer modern builds as you venture closer to the beach.
