NOAH'S on the beach 29 Zaara Street, Newcastle East, New South Wales 2300

"Great location, but a bit pricey. Bed comfortable enough, lovely linen. Suite reasonable size with nice balcony overlooking the beach."

"We stayed here as part of an overnight trip. The view from our room was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed dinner and breakfast here. The staff were also very pleasant. That is all we enjoyed. The room was rather small. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable. The bathroom, while recently renovated, poses an injury risk due to sharp corners of tiles to elevate from the shower. Be careful in there! You also can't use the bathroom through the night without either waking up your partner from the light as there's a bathroom window facing the bed; or you wake them up anyway when you run into the shower in the dark. We also had problems with our key card, and had to get another one cut. Thank goodness we weren't pressed on time when this happened. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was incredibly loud, and unable to be turned off. Even with the door shut, and earplugs in, we could still hear it. Heck, we could also hear a function in the lower levels. I'm guessing there is no sound proofing at all in the building. My partner was very unhappy. He didn't think the stay here was worth what we paid for. When we checked out they didn't ask us how our stay was either, which struck me as strange. So in summary; Worst sleep of our lives, not value for money, but the food was good."

"Terrible service 28-07-23 I booked a Birthday dinner for my fiancé and our 5 friends. After we sat down and made our decision, we had to flag down the waitstaff who we felt like they were avoiding us, no eye contact no checking up on us or anything. We had to ask them to order drinks, food and menu for dessert, we would’ve understood if the restaurant was busy but at most there were at least 8 people in the restaurant plus our table. The food came an hour later and we were all hungry and unhappy at by this stage. I raised the issue with the Barman, as he was the only person I could find, (unsure of where the others went) The food and drinks were great but for the price we expected the service to be better. We would like to thank the Barman on the night, (sorry we didn’t get his name) he made a ‘off’ menu Passion Fruit Caipiroska for the Birthday Boy which was delicious. He was very apologetic and sympathetic once we raised the issue with him, he was even kind enough to take $60 off our drinks bill which we really appreciated. Overall the view and the food wasn’t enough to make us come back."

"Had dinner here. Occasion100th birthday. Service - can't be faulted. View - one of the best in Newcastle. Food - exceptional. If you wood like a venue for a special occasion, NOAH'S on the beach is the place."

"Unfortunately the value for food isn't here. The view and staff are fantastic. But don't go here for food. I should have known I booked a table for 1230pm for lunch. When I got there after 1200pm early we were the only ones there. The owner of this restaurant needs to visit nearby seafood restaurants and see what he is missing. We won't come back unfortunately unless management change. It's a pity ideal location and if people loved this place it would be packed by lunchtime and it wasn't. Don't rush here. Big changes needed."
