Everybody was so lovely here, especially Julia at reception. The hotel was clean, comfortable and modern. Only downside I would have to say is for a hotel without room service or a restaurant it would be handy if they had cutlery/playes for people who have to bring their own food to eat if they don’t want to eat out every night. Great location within walking distance to beach, playgrounds and cafes/restaurant/pubs. Blowhole is just up the hill and some great markets/2nd hand clothing markets around. Pool and gym were very clean and a nice relaxing courtyard outside. Would stay here again for sure!

The Nova was in an excellent location near the blowhole end of Kiama. The staff were very welcoming. The rooms are very sparse and rather clinical. A nice print on the wall or a rug would make it more welcoming. The airconditioning vent was situated at the opposite end of the bed so blew on my head all night, so could be better located. However, I did enjoy my stay and the heated pool was a bonus!

Julia at reception was amazing upon our check in, staff always coming across smiling and happy - a real pleasure! Everything was so easy and comfortable with the exception of the room. Was smaller than we expected: The bathroom could've used a few more hangers (behind the door or on the wall to hang towels and a cabinet for the sink would've been really helpful.

The mirror in the room was not attached to anything but just leaning against the wall. This could be dangerous if it slid down across the floor at the foot of the bed. Also the directions to get into the car park were not clear and we had to go back to reception for help. Otherwise a great place to stay!
