Could not fault the accommodation. It is a small room in a very quiet area. A little far from town eateries, but this is communicated and not an issue with the stay. Great area if you want some peace and quiet - yet close enough to greet views of the coast.

Perfect! No complaints

This studio was everything we were looking for in a holiday apartment and more. The room was well equipped and spacious/functional at the same time. There are entrances to the beach literally down the road, as well as cafes on the next street and a variety of restaurants all in close distance (with a fine dining restaurant only 5 minutes away). The host, Marilyn, greeted us with genuine friendliness and left us to enjoy ourselves. I would encourage all who are booking in Kiama to go through with this apartment with no hesitation as the end result is immensely satisfying. Thanks again Marilyn!

We had a great stay, lovely walks around the cliffs and nice restaurants in town. Great for a 2 night stay a bit small for more than that if 2 people.

Lovely

Shutters By The Sea provided us with beautiful over night accommodation. The modern studio is well located with a view across to the light house from the balcony where we enjoyed the welcome champagne (lovely touch along with the breakfast basket). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the only downfall being the weak shower pressure.

My partner and I visited Shutters by the Sea for a relaxing weekend away. It was the perfect location to relax and admire the views. We visited during the winter so the fire was a cosy added bonus. The furnishings are modern, clean and a small breakfast hamper was also provided to enjoy in the morning. I would definitely recommend Shutters by the Sea for a relaxing and romantic getaway. Thank you for an enjoyable weekend in Kiama.
