The quiet location, and beautiful view of the Kiama lighhouse and sea, were an absolute highlight! Having a bottle of sparkling wine and cheese platter waiting for us on arrival was just delightful, and the accomodation provided eveything needed. Breakfast was especially generous. All of the small touches added up. Recommend to anyone needing a perfect city break! Thank you, Marilyn. Was a joy!

Fiona Australia

The sounds of the blow hole were soothing in the evenings and the large sliding doors let the ocean breeze through. Very nice.

Katy Australia

it was just so comfortable and stunning views. Marilyn had provided everything and more than we could need.

Tony Australia

Breakfast was supplied & wonderful. Location was very good. lovely & quiet. Room very clean & spacious for our needs. Great view of the ocean. And easy walk to the beach.

Kym Australia

Breakfast supplied was a very adequate continental breakfast. We were supplied with our specific requests of bread and milk. Also, knowing what was to be provided, we supplemented these with a few things from home. The unit was in a quiet street with easy access, via a 10 minute walk, to Easts Beach. Close, by car, to a variety of eating places. A very restful place.

Shutters Kiama is popular for it's quiet location. A stylish self-contained private studio retreat for two. Located on the Coastal Walk with views to the Light house, it's a great way to experience life by the sea. The Little Blowhole is just around the corner and the spray is spectacular. Easts Beach is a 5 minute walk around the headland. Try a dip in the Rock Pool near the Light house. It's a touch of paradise. You can take a stroll along the Coastal Walk and watch for migrating whales in July and November and have lunch and coffee at the Little Blowhole Art Bar or The Earth Cafe just up the street. We are less than 2 hours from Sydney and 2 1/2 from Canberra. As a place of outstanding beauty Kiama is surrounded by rich pastureland , has a selection of beautiful beaches and is a ten minute drive to native rain forests. A 1.75% fee applies if you choose to pay by credit card. BPay and direct deposit options are the option preferred.
True country hospitality - from the warmest of welcomes to a superb night’s sleep in elegantly decorated surrounds – is yours to experience at Shutters Kiama. Nestled on the waterfront on the Coastal Walk near the Little Blowhole, sits our newly renovated 2013 Hamptons inspired cottage. A perfect blend of the traditional with modern luxuries, and offering a private bed and breakfast to experience the area. Bed and breakfast rates include a scrumptious continental breakfast hamper in situ in your full size refrigerator. Your privacy is respected. Shutters is a special place to enjoy everything that’s special in life. We look forward to sharing it with you. Your host Marilyn purchased Shutters in 1995, the first time the property had been sold since its construction in 1968 after ownership by the Sydney based Swales family who enjoyed many memorable family holidays here. A keen interest in interior design has seen Shutters presented in a timeless Hampton's coastal style. Marilyn's background is in healthcare and she has a passion for hospitality and tourism.
