Newcastle:
lifestyle options city dwellers dream about

Located just a 2-hour drive north of Sydney, AREC sits in Newcastle, along the coast in the Hunter Valley wine region, home to some of Australia’s finest surfing beaches.

With a population of just over 600,000 (and a University), the Newcastle region has everything you need without the traffic and hustle of a major city. With breweries, distilleries and vineyards, beaches, bays and rivers, there’s lots to love about this coastal gem where we play hard and eat well.
