Wonderful, comfortable house

Sandcastle on Manning was comfortable, beautifully clean and thoughtfully set up, giving us a wonderful, easy stay for four nights. A short stroll across to delightful beaches, and not far down to the main road, it was perfect to enjoy Kiama's charm. Kerrie and Garry were wonderful to communicate with - the whole process was very easy.

Excellent family accommodation

Property was exactly as listed. On arrival the townhouse was spotlessly clean. Good quality linen, bedding and kitchen was fully stocked with all amenities. You’re not right in the town which is good as there is no noise at night or early morning, beach is across the road and we found it very comfortable for our family. I would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you for having us.

Sanctuary in the Rain

Everyone loved the property. Our grandson wanted his Mum to buy one just like it. It was spacious, quiet and only minutes to the beach and great restaurants. It rained heavily but we still went out to explore Kiama, the beaches and nearby Bushrangers Bay. Kerrie communicated with us very clearly and thoughtfully. I'd recommend this stay.
