4/2 Scenic Drive, Merewether, Newcastle

Delivering the kind of laidback lifestyle that makes every day feel like a holiday, this bright, beach-loving apartment puts you just metres from Hickson Street's prized coastal pathway and boasts ocean views to remind you why you're here. Inside, the vibe is all easy flow and natural light - an open-plan living and dining zone connects with a sparkling kitchen, while two robed bedrooms sit alongside a modern bathroom. The balcony with an ocean outlook will be your go-to place for an afternoon drink or morning cuppa while you check out the surf conditions.
