On the way from Sydney to Queensland,...
On the way from Sydney to Queensland, I passed by & stayed an overnight there. A small & cozy hotel with friendly & helpful staff. Despite, the room was tiny small (approx 20sq.m only), but it's new, clean & comfort + could enjoyed a real refreshing shower bath within. But it's close to the railway, you could hear some noise from the trains but the sound proof was acceptable. Less than 5 mins driver to the beachfront & close to shopping centre. I would like to recommend to anyone who going to visit Hunter Valley, could take a stopover there. New Castler seems like has warm kind hospitality, too.
