We left after checking into the receptionist bad mouthing a customer. Just didn't feel safe. Right near the station. Not very professional staff and the room smelt of strong overpowering bleach, there was only a tiny window to open (which is a shame right near the ocean air). There are much nicer places to stay in Kiama.

Wish we had read the comments prior to making the booking, we would not have bothered. Did not like the male owner?, he was extremely rude and arrogant. View was the only positive. There was a half eaten cracker on the carpet next to the couch when we moved into the room, a bottle of water under the bed and... More

Friendly staff. Good quick email communication. Stayed 3 nights. Sheets clean and bed comfortable but the room needed a good dust. And a good clean. Daily general cleaning seems to be below par. For example: there was a soap wrapper on bathroom floor on arrival. I left it there asca little test. It remained there 3 days later!

Paid top $ due to views and location but attention to presentation and maintenance is rather deficient (plumbing and painting ?!) this is disappointing and leaves a sour taste. Comfy beds and clean sheets but you would expect more at this price.

1. The bathroom. Shower curtain was MOULDY. You had to turn sideways to get into and out of the shower over mouldy dirty tiles. There was old soap dispensers just seemingly ripped off the wall and the remains left there. Once you opened a soap there was no where to put it except on a mouldy ledge. The toilet seat... More

Room had a fabulous view and clean linen and that's about it! single bed rolled all over the worn out timber floor because it was on casters. Had to ask for it to be fitted after a very sleepless night, first of 4 nights. It was fixed the next afternoon. There was no soap holder in the worn out shower... More
