Newcastle is a colourful coastal city that’s anything but ordinary, and just off-shore, it’s teeming with wildlife too! One of the most incredible animal migrations- you’re ever likely to see- is the annual humpback whale migrations. And one of the best places to spot them is just off the coast of Newcastle!
Coast XP runs adventure and whale watching cruises, taking small groups out in their two custom- built boats. Owner-operator, Dom is extremely knowledgeable about the incredible wildlife, found just off the coast, and allows the whales to come to the boat, rather than chase them down.
Newcastle is a coastal city which of course means – excellent seafood. And turning this fresh, local seafood into delectable dishes is Blanca Honeysuckle! Located right on the water, Blanca draws culinary inspiration from the enchanting coastlines of Greece, Italy and the Turkish Riviera. The menu is seafood heavy, with freshly shucked local oysters, yellowfin tuna and grilled king prawns. There’s stand- out meat dishes too, like the braised lamb shoulder, served with cacik, pilaf rice and roast carrots.
Mediterranean influences can be found across the city of Newcastle. And if you’re after a boutique stay, Harbour Lights Luxury Apartments offer premium accommodation, in the heart of Newcastle.
