What’s On In Newcastle

News, events and Experiences In Newcastle.

The city of Newcastle resides on land traditionally inhabited by the Worimi and Awabakal peoples. It reaches out to the sea, creating Australia’s only city centre bounded by pristine beaches and an active working harbour. It’s colourful history has created a vibrant, eclectic city rich in culture and natural beauty.

There’s so much to do in the area and we want you to make the most of your stay at the Apollo International Charlestown. We’re lucky enough to be located on the border of Newcastle city and Lake Macquarie. That means there’s so much to see no matter which direction you go! Lake Macquarie is abundant in both natural beauty and adventurous activities. We’ve curated a bunch of great experiences in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie to check out while you’re in the area.

While you’re here, have a look at our news, events and current specials. There’s always something going on around the Apollo International. You’ll find information about specials at our restaurant, Babbingtons Bar & Grill, or exciting updates about the hotel or events in the region.
