Heavenly location, easy drive from Sydney, a world away from everywhere

Everything we hoped for and more, accommodation top quality, sublime location overlooking the Minamurra River, close to Kiama and Jamberoo with new dining and walking experiences. From two high stress city folk, just want to say a big thanks for the tonic we both needed, we will definitely come again.

Lovely apartment looking over inlet

We arrived late on Friday night and finding the accommodation was difficult. No light on showing the apartment number that was up some stairs. No clear instruction about this in correspondence. Once there - lovely with one complaint - why do accommodation places no longer provide coffee machines? We were paying over 600pn - i would expect a coffee machine :))

Terrific

This unit was extremely clean and comfortable with quality inclusions for a holiday let (linen, kitchenware etc). Wonderful location and added bonus of a few thoughtfully selected dvds and toys for the kids. Plenty of space for our family of four. All you need is your beach towels and you're set to have a great time. Highly recommended.

Great Getaway

My family of 3 lived staying at Aroona. Minamurra is an amazing spot and the view from the balcony here was delightful for watching sunrise and sunset. The apartment is kitted out really well with DVDs , games and books and everything you would ever need in the kitchen. We will be back.

2/10 Terrible

Beautiful Location

Don't be fooled by this property. Take photos of any dirty marks on the carpet otherwise you may be blamed. We innocently didn't realize that this was us, however we got a call from the real estate agent asking to explain a small mark on the carpet near a "heavy traffic" area by the entrance to the balcony. We also got quizzed by the number of beds used. One of the small beds was extremely uncomfortable and we swapped it for the other. Therefore it was assumed that more people were staying in the property. Our policy is to treat other peoples property with respect and we left it in a very good condition. What was supposed to be a birthday weekend, turned out to be quite upsetting. The person from the real estate was very professional in trying to resolve the situation.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 September 2023
As holiday management, we always appreciate feedback and do try and ensure all of our guests enjoy their experience. Unfortunately sometimes there are unforseen issues that arise and we do undertake to resolve these in the best interest of both the guest and property owner. I believe on this occasion everything was resolved in the best interest of all parties. Again, thank you and we hope to welcome you to Kiama again soon.

Very comfortable and clean

Wonderful, spacious unit with fabulous views of the river/ocean. We were surprised by the previous review (Feb 2016). Our experience staying here was excellent. The unit is extremely well equipped for a holiday let. Bring your beach towels and you're set for a great stay. We would stay again.
