Welcome to Newman Short Term Accommodation Room (STAR) — your relaxing home away from home in the heart of Newman. Our spacious 4-bedroom house offers guests full access to a comfortable master bedroom and an additional reading/study room, ideal for unwinding or getting some quiet work done.

Hi, we’re Chris and Kanika! We love welcoming guests to the Pilbara and creating a space that feels relaxing, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up—just the way we’d want it for ourselves. Hosting has become something we genuinely enjoy because it lets us share the beauty, calm, and community spirit of Newman with travellers from all over. When we're not hosting, you’ll usually find us outdoors—walking, exploring sunsets, or spending time with our growing little family. We also enjoy training together, good coffee, and creating small touches that make a stay feel special. We take pride in being responsive, helpful, and making sure our guests feel at ease from the moment they book until the moment they head home. We look forward to welcoming you and hope your stay is memorable for all the right reasons.

The neighbourhood offers a perfect balance—quiet enough for rest and privacy, yet only a short drive from everything the town has to offer.

Popular attractions like Kagituru (Mt Newman Lookout), Hickman Crater, and the Kalgan Pool track are close enough for day trips and adventure seekers. For food and convenience, guests appreciate being near local cafés, pubs, takeaway options, and the town centre. The East Pilbara Arts Centre—home to the world-renowned Martumili Artists—is a favourite for those wanting to explore Indigenous art and culture. Families also enjoy the nearby parks, playgrounds, and the friendly feel of the surrounding streets. Whether guests are travelling for work or leisure, they value how easy it is to get around, relax, and experience the authentic Pilbara lifestyle from this location.
