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.

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.

Beautiful cottage close to village

Allwood Cottage is lovely and decorated so thoughtfully with games for the family, surprises for our pooch and we enjoyed relaxing in the sunroom with views of the water. Allwood Cottage is located in walking distance from the village with an array of restaurants, cafes and beaches at our doorstep. Superb location! Thank you to Dora and Allwood Cottage for making our Easter Holiday break so special.

Perfect Beachside Holiday

This was perfection start to finish. The cottage was tasteful and all our possible needs had been anticipated and catered for. The proximity to beaches, ocean pools and shops was more than we could hope for. We loved the garden and outdoor shower; reading all morning, chatting late into the evening under the summer night sky. A wonderful stay. We'll be back!

A Haven in Kiama

It was wonderful to stay in this heritage cottage. Beautifully appointed keeping its historic charm, you immediately relax. A very comfortable bed, with thoughtful touches of throws and extra pillows and cushions. Great shower pressure and a well stocked kitchen. The scenic view spread from water to mountains above the Kiama township. We will be back.

Wonderful host, lovely cottage

The host truly is a super host! Very responsive to messages and queries, even when we had a last minute hiccup with travel and I had to text her very late at night and I managed to get a reply. Very kindly offered to move our stay dates due to last min travel delay. House was also spotless, kitchen was more well equipped than my own at home! House on a quiet street which is safe yet not far from restaurants etc. will recommend 100%
