This property is comfortable and well described, with a well-equipped kitchen (although previous tenants had not washed some dishes all that well). Thoughtful inclusions such as a good instruction manual and even ethical toilet paper were very welcome. The townhouse is well located near central Kiama and beaches, etc. We were not so happy to find some lights out of action - notably in the garage and the master bedroom.

Home away from home
We loved our stay at Tehidy Townhouse. It was cosy and comfortable with aircon units in all rooms. The location right behind woollies was super convenient and we could walk down the main street and to the blowhole with ease. I would stay again!!

Great area and very tidy
We loved our stay! Great location, easy check in and process and very tidy neat place. We had 3 children including a 12 month old so the stairs were a little tricky with her wanting to see how good of a climber she was but we would definitely stay here again once she’s a bit older :)

Happy with the property, it met our needs for a short weekend away with the family. The kids loved the bunks and it was more centrally located than we expected so that was a nice surprise.

My family and I enjoyed staying at Tehidy. The beds were comfortable and all the necessary elements to make our stay pleasant were on hand. The location was fabulous- close to the main street of Kiama with a supermarket across the road.

Comfortable but dark
Kiama is lovely. This is a poorly planned and built town house in an average location (behind a supermarket - though this was convenient too). No natural light downstairs. However, we were warm and comfortable and had everything we needed - except a tea towel :)

True to its name!
'Tehidy' (translated: 'a place of retreat') does live up to its name. The location is convenient and central, yet quiet. Proximity to Woolies is a real bonus! The townhouse is tastefully decorated and equipped with all the necessary gadgets, appliances and BBQ. My family and I enjoyed our week and would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Daughter and friends loved it.
Had a little trouble, initially, when I booked early check in 6 weeks in advance, only to be told it was cancelled one week before. Due to a booking that was made only one before. Whilst I made the booking weeks earlier. This was refunded. The early check-in was refunded which I'm still waiting for. Besides th ous discrepancy my daughter's bday was a blast.

Cosy and great location
After booking a motel for a 2 night stay that was small and dated I came across this gem instead for only $30 more and thought I’d rather stay in a townhouse than a box motel and I was so impressed when I opened the door as it had a homely feel straight away with modern decor and walking distance to everything........ we never used our car during our 2 night stay. You will love to place for either a romantic getaway or with friends or family as it suits them all. Thanks for such a memorable stay and looking forward to my next return stay

A lovely stay with all the conveniences
We had a lovely weekend stay at Tehidy Townhouse. It is set back on a quiet street but so close to everything we needed. We could walk to the shops, cafes, parks and beach. The townhouse had everything we needed to be comfortable so it was nice just to stay in as well. Thank you for a relaxing weekend away.
