About this property

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 home away from Home Allwood cottage

The minute we walked in it was so like home and inviting. Dora has styled and welcomed you and our pet with welcome packs and the home is set up very well. Everything you need is there. Location, set up and comfort at our finger tips. We had a great stay, and we totally recommend this cottage a way to unwind and take in Kiama.

Superb

The cottage had charm plus ambience, easy walking to, beach, bay, cafes, restaurants and handy to the rail. Cottage a tastefully renovated quarryman's home in a historic precinct. Quiet and private just out of the busy town area. Not only tastefully appointed but the host provided an extensive range of "extras" which was gratefully appreciated.

Well appointed and amazingly looked after!

Felt very looked after by Dora. The attention to detail was really appreciated. It’s the little things that made our stay so relaxing and stress free! I forgot my makeup remover, there were some in the vanity cupboard, things I didn’t even think of this place had. My cat Blue enjoyed his stay as well with the special care package on arrival! So very happy! Dora is definitely a SUPER HOST! Thank you 🙏

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.
