Centrally located, minutes from the Kiama Harbour, within walking distance to Bombo (5 min) and Surf beach (12min), Black beach and the rockpool . Step outside the front door with a view to the lighthouse, and enjoy the cafes, restaurants and boutique shopping.

Well appointed and amazingly looked after!
Felt very looked after by Dora. The attention to detail was really appreciated. It’s the little things that made our stay so relaxing and stress free! I forgot my makeup remover, there were some in the vanity cupboard, things I didn’t even think of this place had. My cat Blue enjoyed his stay as well with the special care package on arrival! So very happy! Dora is definitely a SUPER HOST! Thank you 🙏

Wonderful host, lovely cottage
The host truly is a super host! Very responsive to messages and queries, even when we had a last minute hiccup with travel and I had to text her very late at night and I managed to get a reply. Very kindly offered to move our stay dates due to last min travel delay. House was also spotless, kitchen was more well equipped than my own at home! House on a quiet street which is safe yet not far from restaurants etc. will recommend 100%

Beautifully restored coastal cottage
We really enjoyed our stay here. Kiama is a lovely coastal town, and this cottage is in a great location just a few minutes walk from the town (with lots of great local shops and cafes), and close to scenic landmarks such as the Kiama Lighthouse and Blowhole. The cottage is beautifully furnished in the coastal style, and is a tasteful mix of lovely original features and new comforts. The owner Dora was very helpful and prompt with communication, and provides lots of complimentary items such as shower products, a first aid kid, washing detergent, food basics etc, for use if required. She also left a handwritten note of welcome, which was a nice touch. The only factor that wasn’t full marks for us was that there is actually only one proper indoor bathroom. What is listed as a second bathroom is actually a toilet, sink and mirror in a (clean and tidy) laundry room located just outside the back door of the house. Whilst this would be fine for a small, single family unit, it’s not ideal for staying with extended adult family members as we did, where we were specifically wanting two completely seperate bathrooms. Otherwise, I would totally recommend this charming cottage, particularly for small families. It was very kid friendly (and actually set up really nicely for dogs too!).

Perfect Beachside Holiday
This was perfection start to finish. The cottage was tasteful and all our possible needs had been anticipated and catered for. The proximity to beaches, ocean pools and shops was more than we could hope for. We loved the garden and outdoor shower; reading all morning, chatting late into the evening under the summer night sky. A wonderful stay. We'll be back!
