Cosy coastal cottage

Centrally located, minutes from the Kiama Harbour, within walking distance to Bombo (5 min) and Surf beach (12min), Black beach and the rockpool . Step outside the front door with a view to the lighthouse, and enjoy the cafes, restaurants and boutique shopping.

This historic, late 19th century quarryman’s cottage is fully renovated, with all work sympathetic to and in keeping with its history. The cottage is styled in a relaxed coastal style with some vintage charm, and inspiration from our travels.

‘Allwood Harbour Cottage’ is perfect for couples and friends or a family. Well-behaved pets are welcome (at no extra fee) with snacks included.

No extra cleaning fee.

Note: There are security cameras located on the outside of the house. These will be switched off before check-in and during a guest's stay.

Overall we had a pleasant stay.The beds were very comfortable, with clean linen. The kitchen was well stocked & clean.It would be more comforting perhaps to have safety bar in the shower (I happened to be recuperating from a hip surgery but managed ok).The area we found most lacking was the loungeroom; it had the odour of old musty furniture & dogs (our dog however was very much at home ).

A wonderful harbourside cottage

Immaculately clean, thoughtfully furnished and with many touches to make both people and pets feel at home. This cottage is much larger than it appears and has everything you need for a holiday - would thoroughly recommend it. And the hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

I almost hate writing this review because more people will book and I am not going to get a reservation again. Because it will be too popular!The attention to detail is amazing- from the gourmet kitchen to the treats for pets. Best bed ever. Every little thing is anticipated - and the location with quick walk to the beach and views from the deck. Everything was amazing- clean, tidy and first class. Highly recommend but not too loudly because I want to book again without too much competition. I want to come back soon- and bring family!
