a piece of paradise

Such a lovely spot, and very comfortable accommodation. The view is amazing, and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting out watching the whales and the birds. The place has everything you need and as well as being close to the beach is also a short walk from the shops. A wonderful place to stay all round!

What a beautiful place, right next to the beach (just a short walk through the bush from the back lawn). The house was very clean and comfortable (the photos dont do it justice) and Rob and Leanne were the perfect hosts. Thanks for having us- what a magic spot!

Lovely beach getaway

Beautiful property with a stunning beach view. There is access to the beach from the backyard. Very clean, simple with all kitchen appliances, Linen & towels provided. During our stay, the lovely owner came down to say hello and to make sure we lacked nothing. We had a wonderful and relaxed stay with complete privacy. We forgot one of our belonging behind which was kindly returned to us by the owner. Thank you Chelsea and Ron, we will definitely come and stay again in the future.

Kiama Downs

Brilliant views via fully retractable glass doors with the bonus of seeing whales.2 beautiful dogs who interacted when they wanted 😂. Perfectly adequate accommodation with everything you need located under the owner’s living space. Shared laundry facilities and back yard. Ron and Leanne tried to be as unobtrusive as possible but obviously noise is going to be an issue at times. At the same time you knew they were available if you had any problems. On street parking. Steep access down the side of the house to access the apartment. Also steep access to get to and from the beach but definitely worth the effort. Would benefit from a small kitchen table and chairs rather than bar table and chairs. It is one of those places that grows on you the longer you stay. We stayed 6 nights and were very sad to leave. Would definitely consider staying again if we returned to Kiama in the future. Great location for easy access to Kiama, Berry, Gerringong and Wollongong.
