Pros:

Under expectations because we had a kitchen but no table and chairs to sit at if we cooked a meal.
Outside balcony also with no table and chairs.
Very limited hanging space.
Car park very tight.

Pros:

Room was clean. Building is modern and very convenient in the middle of town. Near the train station and short walk to the harbour and blowhole. However room had only small balcony opening into interior light well so no view of anything. Fridge had no freezer compartment so couldn’t freeze bricks for esky. Two person room but only has one chair so second person has to sit on the bed. On the plus side, they let us plug in our EV in the car park.

It was a surprisingly clean, comfortable room that had all the amenities needed. I was met with a polite girl at the front desk, she was very helpful. We enjoyed the stopover. Thank you

Pleasant Stay in a little Hotel
Pros:

Fantastic location just next to Kiama train station with eateries nearby and walking distance from Kiama Blowhole.
Pack your own shower cap and room slippers and be aware there's no bidet - as is the common practice around here. Overall, the room is clean and comfortable with plenty of power points, a big kettle with a good range of tea and nice-smelling toiletries. 'Would stay here again.
