We had a fantastic week in Kiama staying at this beautiful property. It is perfectly positioned to walk to Surf and Kendals beaches and into town for the cafes and restaurants.The cleanliness and quality of the house were exceptional and the amenities provided allowed for a true home from home experience. The coffee machine was a lovely touch and having a washing machine, full washing line and vacuum helped managed those sandy trips to the beach.Great communication with the owner. Highly recommend this fantastic house!
