From the mountains to the sea, the Kiama area boasts a diverse amount of art and culturally significant experiences, with many talented artists taking up residence in this corner of the world. Art, festivals, live music, gallery exhibitions and a handful of other innovative events.
Exploring a new place can be hungry work. But in the Kiama area, you’re never far from somewhere to sip or savour a range of refreshments. For starters, there are more than 30 cafés to choose from.
The Kiama area has a proud farming heritage, and this is reflected through a strong emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You’ll always be guaranteed a delectable selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, quality meats, breads, cheeses, and dairy products including gelato.
Plus, a coastal stay wouldn’t be the same without fresh seafood direct from Kiama harbour – and why not wash it down with a drop from one of the Gerringong-based local wineries or microbreweries.

Hello Lynette, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The Team at Holiday Rental Specialists are pleased to hear you found the property to be clean and suitable for you and your group. We agree the location is lovely being so close to the beach and the cafes and restaurants. Thank you for your feedback, we'd love to welcome you back in future.
The property is a lovely spacious, modern, clean apartment BUT it was very dark as it has no direct sunlight, no view as it looks on to walls, it is next to to the train tracks which are in use all night long. They only provide one key despite four people staying in the apt. The host never sent me access instructions as I had a foreign mobile number so I had to chase them up. Finally, the apt building had no character at all. Not worth it!
The out door are was not clean at all. It needed a good scrub down. Wasn’t very pleasant sitting out there. We had one key between 4 of us which made coming and going a little difficult. Location is great. Close to everything. Clean inside with good ammenities.If you want to park on the street you will find yourself driving quite away as there is an island in the middle of the road so you can’t turn right. You have to drive a fair way to turn around. There is no view so it can feel quite closed in or private if you prefer that. Was quite hard to locate when we arrived as several blocks look the same. All in all a beautiful apartment just missed seeing the outdoors. Oh if you want to use the oven be prepared. It’s not easy to work out.
1. There is no internet! Despite there being connections at no time did it work. You need to advise visirors that this is the case. i had to use my own phone to access the internet. Your network provider is inadequate and should be changed.
2, Your instructions on the use of the oven is unclear and inadequate. Please improve this documentation.
3. Instructions on how to find the outside garbage bins is totally misleading. I had to seek this information from another resident. The bins are not in the garage we used but in a seperate and different garage!!
4 I made an enquiry beforehand on the availability of an electric blanket in the accommodation. I was told explicitly that no such facility was available. However to my surprise there is an electric blanket installed. Please update your knowledge of the property you are managing
Loved this apartment and it’s location! Very clean and very well set up.
