Grand Hotel Kiama

10/10 Excellent
"The Grand Hotel in Kiama is a historic building conveniently located in the centre of Kiama and close to the large blowhole. Consider visiting the much less visited small blowhole, which is far more regular and blows more than many of the large blowhole's blowing. The hotel has extremely high ceilings, far higher than any other hotel that I've stayed in. The rooms are basic but the floor is clean and the water is hot. The room with the private bath is huge."
