A room near Newcastle University Hospital for a family from a town in the north

My father Samuel has been accepted for treatment at Newcastle University Hospital in Newcastle, starting on Saturday in September. We live 266 km away in a town in the north, and hotel costs would use up what we have set aside for the treatment itself. We're looking for a room, granny flat or short-term rental within about 30 minutes of the hospital, for 6 weeks. Two of us would stay: Samuel and me. We can contribute $145 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Samuel will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
