Pleasant Stay in a little Hotel

Fantastic location just next to Kiama train station with eateries nearby and walking distance from Kiama Blowhole. Pack your own shower cap and room slippers and be aware there's no bidet - as is the common practice around here. Overall, the room is clean and comfortable with plenty of power points, a big kettle with a good range of tea and nice-smelling toiletries. 'Would stay here again.

I was a bit disappointed at a few things: 1. Value for money 2. Balcony was tiny 3. Ocean view meant had to peer out of window and way to the left, I could see the beach 4, Only a stool to sit on - would have preferred a backed chair as I needed to do work 5. Had trouble parking in the rain. The few spots out front were occupied. Very basic for the price
