Central Coast
If you're building or renovating between Wyong and Woy Woy, your stone options have usually been a 100mm sample in a kitchen showroom or a trip down the M1 to Sydney. Slab House is the other direction — a natural stone slab showroom at Mayfield West, Newcastle, about 50 minutes from Wyong, an hour from Gosford and Erina, and roughly 70 minutes from Terrigal or Avoca, all on the M1 with no city traffic.
What you get for the drive is the thing that actually matters with natural stone: you see the exact slab that becomes your benchtop, full size, under natural light. Quartzite, marble, dolomite, granite and limestone — walk the racks, compare them side by side, photograph them for your designer and choose the one you'll live with.
Bring Your Stonemason's MeasurementsKnowing your benchtop dimensions — especially island length and whether you want a waterfall end — lets us tell you on the spot whether a slab will yield your job in one piece, or which slabs to consider instead.
| Stone | Best for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Quartzite | Kitchen benchtops and islands — harder than marble with the veining people choose marble for. Our largest range. | Seal annually. Price follows rarity. |
| Granite | Busy family kitchens, outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas. Heat and scratch resistant. | Granular pattern rather than flowing veins. |
| Dolomite | The white-marble look with better durability — a popular middle path for kitchens. | Softer than quartzite; wipe spills promptly. |
| Marble | Bathrooms, vanities, fireplaces and low-traffic kitchens. | Etches with acids. See quartzite vs marble. |
Coastal homes lean toward soft whites and warm neutrals — Taj Mahal, Opus and Matarazzo are the slabs most often chosen for that look. For outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas near salt air, granite such as Magma or Black Storm is the practical choice.
Slab pricing is per square metre and depends on the stone — a consistent granite sits well below a rare Brazilian quartzite. Fabrication (cutting, edges, cutouts, installation) is quoted separately by your stonemason. We're happy to give slab pricing by phone or enquiry before you make the trip.
We supply stonemasons, kitchen companies, builders, architects and interior designers across the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter. Trade clients can send homeowners to select at Slab House and have the slab delivered to their workshop. Get in touch for a trade price list.
