    Nice view on balcony; treats from host; great location; nice music background

    Not a big deal but the spiral staircase could be a problem if you are disabled. Parking was a bit tricky sometimes as you can only park on the road and often parking spaces were hard to get.

    Beautiful decor well appointed studio. Extra touches like bubbles chocolates cheese board on arrival was a nice touch

    This is a room over a garage so it was cramped. There was nowhere to put anything and the only kitchen implement was a blunt knife. The bathroom door is right next to the bed.

    Fabulous view, comfortable bed, informative host, clean

    The room faces north and can get quite hot, particularly with the curtains open. There is an air conditioner above the bed if needed. A shelf or two in the kitchen would be helpful to put food items not requiring refrigeration. These are just thoughts, not criticisms and would not stop us returning to this lovely property.

    Cosy and comfortable room, perfect for a short getaway. Good communication from the hosts with all details required for contactless access and helpful recommendations for local cafes. Spotlessly clean with very comfortable bed and pillows and super soft robes. Good quality linen and great shower. There is a refrigerator (no freezer), microwave, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. The welcome supply of fresh milk, bottle of bubbly and chocolate were a nice touch. The property is located in the quiet streets south of the main town, with direct access to the Kiama Coastal Trail. There is narrow view of the ocean and lighthouse from the room.

    The kitchenette has a sink and microwave but no cooktop and there is no clothes washing facilities making a longer stay difficult.

    The room was very clean with a lovely view of the ocean and the lighthouse in the distance. The location is very close to the little blowhole, which you can gently hear in the background. There was a complimentary bottle of sparkling in the fridge and the hosts were very friendly in their interactions. Breakfast was provided via cereal and two very tasty muffins which were provided on arrival.

    'Shutters' is special...beautifully and comfortably furnished, quiet and peaceful, situated on the headlands, with lovely views of the coastline and so accessible to the coastal walk, with a balcony that takes in views of both the sunrise and sunset. A wonderful place to stay in Kiama.

    Marilyn was a fantastic host. We booked the accommodation late afternoon and within 5 minutes Marilyn had confirmed, emailed and sent a text with everything we needed to know. Marilyn also provided a huge range of resources detailing places to visit and restaurants to visit. Towels, some toiletries and the most used kitchen appliances were available to use. It was in a great location with stunning views of the beach and light house. It was also quiet but a short drive to the town centre. It was modern and super clean. Plenty of space for a couple. We will definitely be staying here again!
