A Coastal Hideaway Just for Two

Welcome to Shutters by the Sea — your dreamy waterfront escape in Kiama’s peaceful Beachside neighbourhood.

Step straight from your door onto the Kiama Coastal Walk and follow the coastline for ocean views, sunrise strolls and, in whale season, the chance to spot migrating whales passing offshore.

Inside, the light-filled open-plan studio has been designed to make the most of its spectacular position. Wherever you are — enjoying breakfast at the table, curled up on the sofa or relaxing in bed — the ocean is your backdrop.

Slide open the glass doors and let the sea breeze drift through while you listen to the waves below. Step onto your private balcony with a glass of chilled sparkling wine and simply slow down.

Little touches included

• Chilled sparkling wine to welcome you
• Complimentary coffee pods
• Free Wi-Fi & Netflix
• Private balcony with panoramic ocean views
• Cosy fireplace for cooler evenings

### Around the corner

You’re just a short stroll from Becks Café for your morning coffee, lunch or dinner, and Cin Cin Wine Bar for a relaxed romantic evening.

Easts Beach is around a 5-minute waterfront walk, while Kiama’s cafés, restaurants and boutiques are just a few minutes away by car.

This is a place to put your phone down, breathe in the sea air and enjoy being together.

**Come for the view. Stay for the feeling.**

All recommendations such as

Swimming at Kiama Beach

Swimming At Kiama Beach

We explored the beautiful beaches of Kiama.
Surfing

Surfing

Main Beach (or Surf Beach) is popular for both swimming and surfing. The surf break is called ‘The Wedge’. The beach is patrolled in summer and there are toilets, BBQs, picnic tables and changing sheds.

Kiama Coast Walk

This spectacular 22km walk starts at Minnamurra and leads you past headlands, rivers, beaches, the town (for a coffee break) and then up to Blowhole Point before passing bays and finishing at Werri Beach. Take advantage of picnic areas and cafes along the way. Keep and eye out for whales, sea eagles and hawks.

Kiama Sunrise

Facing directly East, Kiama is an awesome spot to catch a sunrise. My personal recommendations are Easts Beach or from the Lighthouse. You'll often catch dolphins soon after sunrise, too.

Kiama Blowhole

This beautiful coastal destination is famous for it’s blowhole – a natural rock formation that sprays seawater 20 metres into the air.

Visit Kiama Blowhole

For a local, or even a tourist - visiting the Kiama Blowhole on a good day, is always a great experience. For the day we visited in particular, we were greeted with blue skies, big water eruptions from the blowhole and a huge rainbow. Whether you're staying nearby or passing through - the Kiama Blow is a must-see.
