Kiama town centre is also an easy drive, or if you want to explore the stunning coastal track, you can walk into town.

Why choose The Blue Whale Kiama?

Built new in 2018, this property oozes style, luxury, comfort and great design. The pool is a fantastic bonus as well, as is the separate cottage with queen bedroom. Every guest is very comfortably accommodated, with space for everyone! The home also has spectacular coastal views, a quiet location, and beaches and shops within walking distance.

How is the property laid out?

The Blue Whale is a double storey main house with an infinity edge pool and a separate cottage.

The upstairs level of the house has a large ocean facing deck, beautiful open plan kitchen, living and dining area, a powder room and a second rumpus / TV room!

The lower level has all 4 bedrooms, with the king master having its own en-suite. The remaining king bedroom and two queen bedrooms share a lovely bathroom. An internal laundry on this level is for guest use, but the garage is private / for owner use only.

The cottage has a queen bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchenette with sink and fridge.

The kitchen is equipped with a high quality coffee machine that grinds coffee beans and has a milk steamer. You can be your own barista during your stay!

Annual Friends Getaway

Lovely place a short walk from two beaches, great little cafe around the corner. The house had all of the amenities you need and more. We put the older kids in the granny flat, they loved having their own soace. Highly recommend!

Magnificent

The perfect location with stunning ocean views. A well equipped, comfortable and spotless home that lives up to its name, The Blue Whale. We had breaching whales over the weekend, they weren’t blue however they were amazing! This is our second visit and we hope to return again. Thank you

Ladies weekend

Everything was great. Location was good. Views were amazing. Pool was lovely. Only feedback would be replace the shower head in the king bedroom suite, no water pressure at all. Put a power point that can be accessed in the main bathroom, the one there is impossible to get to. Put more furniture, chairs out in the pool area. Overall we had a great time, we would return.

Kiama views

Lovely property Beds were disappointing. Bases slatted and have distorted over time This combined with soft mattresses meant you rolled into middle of bed. We actually slept sideways for 2 nights which helped a bit Pool area and paved area bit dirty and could do with good pressure clean Had no wifi for 4 days reported to property manager and they sent someone out to reset. Unfortunately they didn’t stay after 5 minutes it dropped out continually We eventually gave up

Best Experience Ever

By far, our stay at The Blue Whale was the best holiday ever since the pandemic began. I must admit that the rate per night is not cheap but it was worthwhile. The place is neat and clean, well-maintained, and everything is in order when we arrived. We really liked the setting - the spacious kitchen, living room, and the balcony. We didn't experience boredom - not a single moment. The family - especially the kids - enjoyed the pool and the view from the living room area. The house is also just a walking distance to the beach. The kids also enjoyed a bit of movie time at the TV room (yes, Internet speed is excellent) with the host-provided streaming subscriptions (Netflix, Prime, etc). We are looking forward to another holiday, and The Blue Whale is definitely in the list of options. Thanks a lot to the host - Holiday Collections - for the beautiful experience. I and my wife have had a memorable 25th anniversary moment.
