Through darkness we learn to appreciate light.
Just past Cathedral Rocks, on the awesome walk from Minnamurra to Kiama, there is a little detour from the walk along a rocky beach.
This location has been on my bucket list for quite a long time. It's readily accessed by a short walk along Jones Beach.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (20 reviews)
Nice house, very clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean is blocked by the trees, but you can see glimpses of the beach and Ocean. The sound of the waves is very calming.Stairs are very steep and there are no handrails. Seems like an accident waiting to happen Would not recommend for older ...

9.4/10 Exceptional! (103 reviews)
The view is spectacular and there was an IGA and coffee shop in walking distance. However, in our opinion, having stayed in many properties, the high-season price of over 1,300/night isn't aligned with the standard of this property, even for the view. Although the owner has made an effort to make ...

Needs a new property manager. Broken stuff needs fixing too.
Quite a few broken elements in the house - the oven in particular doesn’t work properly. Property manager is impossible to call, and slow to respond to emails. While the manager will claim in reply to this “they didn’t get a chance to fix these problems during our stay”, the reality is prior reviews ...

Everything was excellent just abit disappointed with parking, parking numbers should allocate to novel customers as our car was abit high won’t fit in the parking area, it isn’t safe to park outside since we had portable refrigerators etc in the back of our Ute.

The room was good - clean, well presented but quite modest in size. Suitable for our overnight stay, but lacked any wardrobe or cupboard space that you would want for a longer stay. We had to evacuate at 11:00pm due to a fire alarm, something that would not have concerned us except that we we told ...
