Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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

Room was basic but nicely updated, bed was ok, nice shower, convenient location, staff were lovely. Bathroom needs better ventilation as the shower steam makes the bathroom very damp. Mostly very quiet except for the noise from the shower in the next room - especially when they had a shower at 4am one morning!

Good, peaceful accommodation.

Very good accommodation with garage parking. Close to the Kiama blowhole. It was operated by one staff managing the reception, attending to guests' needs, and the repurposed VW cafe in the lobby. Housekeeping staff are very friendly.

The hotel room was clean. It would have been useful to have a couple of dining chairs and small table inside the room, rather than on the balcony as it was too cold to sit and eat outside.

We only spent one night and we had a pleasant stay. The room was clean and modern. The only problem we had was the mattress was soft and bouncy not to my liking. The bunk bed was also creaking and the window should be double glazed as we could here people taking and cars driving past. Otherwise, the stay was good close to shops, a pub next door, free parking, the lobby has a combi van turned into a mobile cafe on wheels which was good to get our morning coffee.

This is my second stay at Nova, and it won’t be the last. The room was lovely, the lobby is delightful, and I enjoyed the fitness room and safe parking . Kiama is charming and scenic, and the Nova is perfectly located for a visit. Most of all the staff is warm and welcoming and helpful! I highly recommend a stay here.
