RESTAURANTS

SHOPPING
Shopping – Darby St is only a 10 min walk from the hotel. Known for its boutique shops and coffee Shops.
The Goldburgs, known as a coffee institution in Newcastle is a great way to break up the day when hitting the shops.
Power
Mains voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz. Travellers from most nations in Asia, Africa and Europe should have appliances that work on the same mains voltage as Australia - therefore you will not need a voltage converter. Notable exceptions to this are Japan, USA and Canada which uses 100/120V 50/60Hz.
If your country does not use appliances within the 230V 50Hz mains voltage range, you will need to purchase a voltage converter. This will transform the voltage from the power outlet into one your appliance can use. You will also need a power adapter.
You may need to charge more than 1 device at a time. Why not consider one of these with USB charger outlets built in. Or pack on from home with your adaptor plug.
