Entering the Tuscan garden and sumptuous room, I almost expected Fred & Ginger to come out with a dance routine, and they would have had room enough to perform it in the impeccably styled “Palazzo”. You’ll have to pry yourself out of the shower with choice of rainforest and hand-held delivery, with plenty of hot water & pressure. Early risers can stroll down to the beach, joining the locals in swimming, “promenading” (to see and be seen), surfing, or chatting over a coffee. Newport Beach meets Reykjavík: kids ride their bikes w/ their boards and school uniforms in plastic bags, while older folks do their laps in the “baths” and then chat along the beach path the winds along the coast. Every comment about the generosity of the hosts is correct: from watch repair to “must-sees” in Sydney, no request is too outré for these two young (at heart) people: you’ll have to go visit to find out their ages! With so much to do nearby (Hunter Valley wines, historical villages like Morpeth) you may not have much time to sit, but the TV in the room offers multiple sources of programming. This is a favored guest accommodation of surfers and surf enthusiasts: if you want to learn about surfing or surfers, this is a perfect spot. With little shops a short walk away, this is a lovely area to “live like a local.”

These are NOT dislikes, simply observations from an elderly American: you’ll need to do a couple stairs to enter your room. Your hosts believe in healthy living: you’ll get all your carbs & protein, but without meat. If you can’t live a couple days without bacon, this isn’t for you, but with the variety and amount of breakfast offered, as one of my dear German friends says, “who isn’t full is guilty himself” (wer nicht satt ist, ist selber schuld). You’re not in the center of town, which means your GPS is going to work overtime to find the place (use Waze, not Maps), and the social scene is local and authentic, not trendy and loud.

Simple and comfortable experience. Booking and check in process were very straight forward with excellent communication; text message with instructions for arrival was very informative succinct. Warm welcome from the host. The room was large with lovely furniture; huge, comfortable bed with plenty of pillow options, table and chairs, sitting area, brand new private bathroom, mini fridge with milk, tea and coffee, plus a complimentary bottle of wine. Breakfast was a lovely variety including tasty freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruits and yogurt, kindly served at a time that I requested. Both hosts were welcoming and warm. I'd stay again.

Perfectly located B&B close to town & the beach. We stayed in the down stairs King suite (Tuscan) which was very clean, spacious, full of light & beautifully decorated. The apartment is very private & separate from the main residence, the lovely garden make it perfect for a quiet relaxing getaway. A delicious breakfast each morning included in season fresh fruits, yoghurt & nuts, croissants with jam, tea, coffee, juice. Christine & Bob were very friendly hosts and most helpful with lots of tips on places to see and eat at night. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Loved everything.

We loved everything about staying here! What a hidden treasure Merewether is and this accommodation is walking distance to the beach and places to eat. A bit further to walk to local tourist spots but an easy walk and worth it!! Our room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Bob and Christine were lovely people and happy to help with anything we needed. Great breakfast and lots of information about local areas to visit. Highly recommended and we hope to be back someday soon!

Leaving.. Was very relaxing and a lovely area.

Accommodation exceeded expectations. Beautifully clean and well appointed room, friendly and helpful host, magnificent breakfast and value for money

There is nothing I didn't like about my stay here, I'll definately be staying here again if I'm back in the area.

The location was great the room was beautifully appointed, very clean. The directions and information Christine provided assisted us to locate the house easily. It was an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. ( Christine also gave us information on local places of interest and the best places for dinner)

Our stay at Brezza Bella was far above expectations. Bob and Christine were lovely hosts. Their property is just beautiful - comfortable, spacious, clean, stunning gardens. We could not fault anything. All the added little extras make the stay just that more special... And the breakfast is just divine! Thank you for our lovely stay - we will be back!

There is nothing to dislike about this property.

Christine and Bob are absolutely fabulous hosts and go above and beyond for their guests. The room is is also spectacular and definitely exceeded expectations. Larger than usual room, a huge bathroom and a lovely sunny courtyard to enjoy the little welcome drinks they leave you. We will definitely be back!

Nothing- everything was perfect!

The hosts were very friendly. We had some food and drinks in our room to welcome us. They made a lovely fresh continental breakfast which was very nice and stayed with us during breakfast to chat about our stay and gave advice on places to go and things to do.

Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely location, bedroom was ground floor with access to the patio and garden. Beautiful spacious bedroom, lovely bathroom and lots of little touches to make you feel extremely welcome. Lovely breakfast of cereal, lots of fresh fruit and warm croissants. Bob & Chris were wonderful host. Highly recommend.
