Don’t forget the push bikes or walking shoes as the walk/cycle way is directly at the front of the property, which travels along majestic ocean views and headlands North to Shellharbour or South to Kiama and Gerringong

Very close to train station – 2 stops to Kiama and half an hour to Wollongong.
Bus stop around the corner – 10 minutes to Kiama and half an hour to Shellharbour City.

Please note: The train-line and station are nearby – but trains only come once/hour or so, so the noise doesn’t disturb as much as you’d think.

Overpriced

Bit disappointment for the stay. The studio is small, the sofa bed is very uncomfortable. Can’t open curtains as there are people stay at the back of house kept walking pass. There is no privacy. It is a garage converted to studio, not proper walls, just glass window with curtain. It is overpriced for what it is. We only stay there because we have a dog. There are maintenance need to be done. Looks like the owner just keep everything cheap but charge premium price.
