Platinum Precinct - The Penthouse

Platinum Precinct - The Penthouse - your quintessential artsy experience awaits. In the heart of Newcastle West, this stunning, architecturally-designed warehouse conversion oozes style and flair to make any reasonable person jealous. Within easy walking distance from the transport interchange, the city centre and the cool restaurants, cafes and pubs of Beaumont Street. Jump on the light rail into Newcastle for a swim or surf at the beautiful beaches or to watch the big ships come into the harbour. This apartment sits right above Sherwood Coffee Bar, open for coffee, breakfast and lunch daily.

Take your pick of popular restaurants and pubs within 1-2km walk in any direction, or stay in for the night and entertain yourselves in the large entertaining area with your own private beer garden style bar, complete with BBQ and hot tub. You even have your own pool table and a wine fridge to keep your drinks chilled.

The enormous, open plan living area is sure to catch your eye with its cool industrial design, practical and comfortable furnishings and an abundance of natural light, courtesy of the high ceilings and windows. The living area offers central air-conditioning, free Wifi, a wall-mounted flat screen TV and comfortable lounges. This flows to the 8-seater dining table and a modern, well-equipped kitchen with cooktop, oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, plus a butlers pantry with kettle, toaster and a washing machine and dryer. On this level, there are also 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with the other 2 bedrooms and bathroom downstairs. All bedrooms have ceiling fans.

Street parking is metered outside the apartment during the day only, and free on the other side of the street.

There is plenty of space for couples, families, friends or business travellers, and you can't beat the location!

While this property is designed for relaxation and enjoyment, it is essential to maintain the serenity of the neighbourhood. As neighbours are in close proximity, this home is NOT suitable for noisy groups, to ensure that we have a peaceful environment for all. Parties or gatherings are strictly prohibited and for the security and comfort of everyone, we require that no guests or visitors are permitted onto the premises above the maximum of 8 guests at any time without prior written permission.

Security Deposit: This property requires a $1000 refundable security deposit due no later than 5 days prior to arrival. The value of the bond will be added to the total at the time of booking.

How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.

Arrival Details: Access to the property is made easy for you. We will send you an access code just before 2pm on your arrival day via SMS and you will use this code for the duration of your stay.

Linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO

Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities.

Wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner. It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.

No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.

Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.

Cameras and Noise Monitoring: Please note that we have installed Noise Monitoring devices + monitored WiFi Security Cameras located in the entry way outside the apartment.

Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guest's names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.

Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.

Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'

This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.

We look forward to having you stay with us.
