There were various issues my friends and I discovered. Such as; the upstairs toilet button being absent, bathroom faucets loose, about 1/4 of the light bulbs were out upstairs.
Other than that it was fine.

Despite trying hard to find a mutually beneficial arrangement this property was not willing to change my booking as we could not attend as we were in strict mandated lockdown.
I would be extremely careful booking this property as they are not willing to work with you at all.
Stayz also does not have a solution for the situations when the government mandates a completely unforeseen lockdown.
I am extremely disappointed to lose so much money.

We had a fun weekend here. There is one bedroom with 3 beds in it, and it's a bit dingy but the other two rooms are great. Kitchen is very well stocked. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Nice area, easy to walk down to Kiama although not around the corner. We were on a walking weekend - Gerringong to Kiama - beautiful!

Check in and contact was all very easy however I think the location photography is very misleading. There is a photograph looking out to the ocean which makes it appear much closer than it actually is. You have a glimpse of it in the distance and that's about it. Probably a bit over priced - amenities are very basic compared to how it is made out to be in description. It would have been nice to have a bit of milk in the fridge for a cup of tea / coffee - something / anything.

Great place for a weekend away with friends
We went away with a group of seven and had an absolute blast - everything was really well stocked, down to coals for the bbq...and great amount of living space for some of us to play cards while others chatted. Only regret was not being able to spend more time in Kiama to properly check out the beach!

All you want & need in a holiday home!
What a stunning home!
Decor was fantastic and the owner was very accessible throughout, always responding to any email requests promptly
It was unfortunate they couldn’t accommodate an early check-in, due to prior booking & cleaning needing to be done.
All else was awesome!
3.0
Pleasant but room for improvement
The positives:
The house is clean/minimalistic in style, the decorations are all of good quality (Scandi feel everywhere) and the location is very quiet and safe.
The walk to Easts beach is along a quiet road and would take 20 mins. The walk into Kiama proper however is definitely a good 45 mins at a decent walking pace...the Stayz website says 900m to cafes and shops but that is a little misleading as 900m only takes you to a small strip with a cafe and a general store as opposed to Kiama itself.
Ocean views from the upper back deck and its peaceful.
The kitchen itself is well stocked with utensils and a good quality cooktop.
Beds were comfortable and lighting for reading in bed etc was good.
The negatives:
No wifi connection in the house which is only evident on their actual website and not the Stayz website (which we booked thru). I understand that is a first world problem but I cannot remember a holiday rental at this price point not having wifi for guests.
The TV/BluRay system is of decent quality but many of the free to air channels were not connected properly so we were literally left with the basic channels, and with no foxtel/wifi/netlix the 'electronic' entertainment was at a minimum. Acceptable if you specifically want a 'digital detox' break though.
The outdoor grill is a charcoal BBQ that had no firelighters. Even a cheap gas BBQ would be an improvement.
The Fridge was completely up the spout. The top half didnt keep anything cold and the lower compartments for fruit/veg froze all our fresh stuff, to the point where we had to throw much of it out. We put our meat in there to keep it cold and it kept it frozen for our entire stay. This is soon to be rectified we understand, but it was already known to the property manager to be an issue before we arrived which is annoying.
The radio/DAB/music system had no radio connection at all, and so out dated newer iphones cant sit in the fixed cradle or fit the cable that is provided in order to play music.
There were zero wastebins in the lower part of the house. In fact the only bin was in the kitchen from what we could see. Easily rectified though
To the owners credit, they rectified the broken sun umbrella for the outdoor table within 24 hours, they refunded us some money for the fridge issues and the inability to use their music system so our complaints are not with the owner, the house just needs a major overhaul appliance wise to make it worth the price that is asked for it.

Wouldn't return
A nice house, however plates, pots, pans and cutlery where all filthy and the dishwasher did not work. With little done by the host to fix the issue

Great property!
We loved our stay, easy to get to the beach, everything was close. Only thing we can say is it would be nice if it was more child/toddler friendly eg: gate on stairs and locking doors to balcony! Otherwise it was great, clean and accommodating for our family :).

Beautiful & Fabulous House!
I and my family had a great stay for 2 nights at John's house, ScandinavianDesign. Beautiful house, interior and perfect location. Everything was wonderful. We will be back next time with my friends : ) Thank you, John!

Amazing house
Took my family here for a quick trip away, house is more beautiful than the pictures lead you to believe. We loved that you could open the house right up to allow the breeze to come through. A drink on the deck is definitely a must!
Will definitely be going back!!

Prefect getaway location..
The house was just perfect, quiet, remote but close to the water with some fantastic walks only just around the corner. John and Linnéa were most accommodating and there was nothing too much a bother.
I can't wait to go back again and visit.

Stunning!
I've always had a soft spot for Scandinavian design and this house was Swedish perfection! Spacious, lovely outdoor areas, great views and amazing bathrooms. I stayed with my mother and a few of her friends for a quick weekend out of Sydney.
My only suggestion for improvement is to make the step in the living room more obvious - its hard to see with the black floors and we all had a turn at tripping on it!
I highly recommend nonetheless!

Excellent
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. We were 4 golfers playing local courses, the location was close to Kiama Restaurants, the house is very comfortable and very well appointed with easy access north and south. I have no hesitation recommending this property and John was so helpful in giving us local knowledge on restaurants etc. Thankyou for a nice experience.

Inspirational holiday home
This house is a wonderful place to stay, is in a great location, walking distance to the quieter beaches in Kiama, along the coastal walk and into town. The outlook is superb, with lovely ocean and tree top views, sunny and open. The house is inviting and warm, well furnished with all the mod cons and more. Terrific for a short or long stay.
