We had lunch at this Hotel, the food was delicious and everything was perfect. Just overcharging on Sunday and public holidays was annoying.

My family and I came into your beautiful friendly Hotel today for lunch. We had my mum who is in a wheelchair with us and the owner opened up accessibility for us and helped us get mum up the stairs. The wait staff were absolutely terrific as well helping mum after lunch. The food was the best food we have had in a long time. Everything came out hot and was just delicious. We thank you so much for everything today and we will come back. Kind regards The Le Breton Families

Dinner at Kiama Inn Hotel Stopped in for dinner at the Kiama Inn Hotel and had a great night. We sat outside with our two Old English Sheepdogs, which was perfect — dog-friendly and a great spot to enjoy the scenery. We had the barramundi with prawns in a lemon butter sauce (served with chips and salad) and a chicken schnitzel (also with chips and salad). Both meals were huge and absolutely delicious! Great food, relaxed vibe, and super pet-friendly — definitely recommend if you're in the area!
