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.

Well appointed and amazingly looked after!
Felt very looked after by Dora. The attention to detail was really appreciated. It’s the little things that made our stay so relaxing and stress free! I forgot my makeup remover, there were some in the vanity cupboard, things I didn’t even think of this place had. My cat Blue enjoyed his stay as well with the special care package on arrival! So very happy! Dora is definitely a SUPER HOST! Thank you 🙏

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%

Beautifully restored coastal cottage
We really enjoyed our stay here. Kiama is a lovely coastal town, and this cottage is in a great location just a few minutes walk from the town (with lots of great local shops and cafes), and close to scenic landmarks such as the Kiama Lighthouse and Blowhole. The cottage is beautifully furnished in the coastal style, and is a tasteful mix of lovely original features and new comforts. The owner Dora was very helpful and prompt with communication, and provides lots of complimentary items such as shower products, a first aid kid, washing detergent, food basics etc, for use if required. She also left a handwritten note of welcome, which was a nice touch. The only factor that wasn’t full marks for us was that there is actually only one proper indoor bathroom. What is listed as a second bathroom is actually a toilet, sink and mirror in a (clean and tidy) laundry room located just outside the back door of the house. Whilst this would be fine for a small, single family unit, it’s not ideal for staying with extended adult family members as we did, where we were specifically wanting two completely seperate bathrooms. Otherwise, I would totally recommend this charming cottage, particularly for small families. It was very kid friendly (and actually set up really nicely for dogs too!).

We absolutely loved our time at Allwood Harbour Cottage- really well equipped, great location that’s an easy walk to beaches and the shops in town, and our dog LOVED the garden. Excellent communication with Dora was the icing on the cake. A magical break in every way- we’ll be back!

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!

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!

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.
