Beachy Keen Review

The host was amazing and very helpful, cannot fault her in any way, as was the backyard (spa and firepit), however, the house is extremely small and is definitely no good for people with mobility issues or overweight. The furniture (bed and lounges) are in need of updating and all the chairs in the house were either low to the ground or high up. I would only recommend 4 adults maximum 2 kids

Catching-up with longtime friends.

If chilling with friends/rellos in a laidback environment is what you’re after, Beachy Keen has it in spades. It’s close to everything you need/want to experience and will appeal to young and old without the “bling” and “precociousness”. The Golf Club is not even a stone’s throw away and the meals were outstanding. In spite of the weather not being the best for our long-weekend, both parents and kids had lots to choose from (spa, fire-pit, BBQ, laze on the deck or daybed, stroll to & on the beach, swim - boys caught a few good waves at Jones Beach, watch a dvd etc). Nina is an excellent host and has done a wonderful job with making Beachy Keen a home-away-from-home. We had a great time and Kiama is beautiful part of the world. We’ll most certainly be back!!

Great stay at Beachy Keen

Beachy Keen in Kiama Downs is located in a convenient spot to stage any South Coast holiday. Quick drive to the beaches and amenities around Kiama, you can’t ask for a better location that is high value for money and offers the comforts you expect ina holiday house. The outdoor deck, firepit and spa at the back were very welcoming indeed. Nina is a super responsive and gracious host and the house is super clean and had all the necessary items and utensils needed to eat in. Highest recommendation!

The place was nice but I think the photos were taken a long time ago as it needs a but more love.

The spa and fire pit where great. Even though we think the spa is due for a good clean. I didnt realise the train line backed on to the property ( a little noisy). We found the plants and grass all over grown and the place was in need of some general maintenance. The kitchen was well equiped and soon worked out how to reset the dishwasher when is shorted out. Overall we had a good time but felt the place needs some work.
