What's nearby

  • Kiama is a great place for a day trip or fun weekend getaway. People come here to visit the natural attraction called blowhole - mind you, it's best when the sea spouts out the blowhole, because sometimes the sea is quite calm and you could go home slightly disappointed. You can also fish for salmon, squid and other sea creatures you'd like on your plate or simply bring your mat, picnic basket, sunblock and just enjoy the entire day doing nothing at all.
