Wow!
We had a wonderful stay and greatly enjoyed the fantastic apartment and amazing views over the beach. The apartment was very well presented and stocked. Could not recommend a stay at the Sands highly enough. Plus our dog really enjoyed the grounds and surrounding areas. Hope to go back soon.

Fantastic property
We had a wonderful,relaxing stay here. The views are magnificent and the property was clean, modern and as per the description. It was perfect for us , as a couple, with a small dog. Their is a drop off over the front fence so not suitable for small children. We will definately be back.

Wow! The view and the property are both amazing!
Thank you Linda for allowing us to experience your amazing property for the long weekend. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, and you went above and beyond to help us through the booking process and accommodate our needs. The property is super clean, very functional and a lovely place to be. The views are mesmerizing- watching whales from the front yard was a very unexpected cherry on top. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!! We very much hope to return again.

Spectacular in every way
The most breathtaking view greeted us as we pulled into the driveway. The photos don’t do it justice. The inside of the apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable and has everything you need. Our beautiful little bulldog had a wonderful time. The south coast is a beautiful place to explore ocean and farm views. We feel so very blessed that we got to stay at The Sands Kiama.

The Most Amazing Views
Our stay at the Sands was wonderful. The apartment has the most amazing view of the beach and surrounds, and a swim is just mere moments away. The apartment itself is very comfortable, and has everything you need. We cooked at home, and used the BBQ, and had the town of Kiama only a few minutes drive away. If you’re looking for something a little lush, where you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves, while also satisfying your creature comforts, the Sands comes highly recommended. We’d definitely stay again.

Wonderful property with sensational views
Great property to stay - a short drive to everything in Kiama . Alternatively you can walk into Kiama along the beachfronts which is definitely worth doing. It’s very pleasant going to sleep with the sounds of rolling waves in the background.

Perfect!
The property was exactly as described and we loved it. It had everything we needed (including the most perfect winter weather). The little garden area was perfect for our little dog and the grass area outside the property wonderful for a longer run. The only thing we should have thought of was to let the restaurant delivery know that we were down the driveway …. but other than having upside-down pizza, it was no drama. We will be back.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Kiama is located in dairy country which meets the sea! As such it is just as enjoyable in winter as in summer. I travelled here for day trips as a child to visit the blowhole and have fish and chips at the harbour. Now it provides a tranquil respite from life in Sydney where we are now based.

What makes this property unique

This property enjoys an unenviable position right above Kendalls beach with views in every direction. The property is also private and spacious.
Internally we offer deluxe furnishings, a wood fired fireplace for winter and lots of little extras to make guests feel at home.
There is a large level lawn area outside where you can further enjoy the smells and sights of the ocean. The Sands offers outdoor seating, BBQ and outdoor shower.
