Newcastle and Lake Macquarie

ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT YEAR IN THIS BEAUTIFUL REGION OF NSW

Newcastle is a harbour city and populated metropolitan region in the state of New South Wales. It includes the Lake Macquarie local government area and is one of the most important cities in the Hunter Valley region.

If you’re looking to retire in a place where you can enjoy a privileged coastal lifestyle, Newcastle can be a good choice. It has all the facilities and commodities to be expected from a modern urban centre, including the hospital Royal Victoria Infirmary. There are great shopping areas, restaurants and beautiful beaches linked by the popular coastal path Bathers Way. Retirees can also consider living in the several suburbs further away from the beach, where they can find nice houses at more affordable prices.

The City of Lake Macquarie is home to several popular coastal areas like Blacksmiths Beach, Catherine Hill Bay with its iconic coal-loading jetty, Redhead and Caves Beach. The area consists of several towns surrounding the saltwater Lake Macquarie, which is a popular tourist destination.
