Ocean walks, good coffee, long lunches and time to simply enjoy being together.

Kiama is made for slowing down. This is our suggested 48-hour escape for couples who would rather wander than rush, with plenty of time to enjoy the ocean, local food and the little moments in between.

Friday Afternoon — Arrive & Unwind

  • 3:00 PM — Arrive at Shutters
    Settle in, unpack and step onto your private balcony to take in the ocean. There's nowhere you need to be just yet. 
  • 4:00 PM – A Drink by the Sea Pour a glass of wine, enjoy your complimentary sparkling wine and cheese platter, and watch the afternoon light over the water.
  • 7:00 PM – Dinner in Town, Wander into town for a relaxed dinner. Little Betty's is a lovely choice for a cosy evening and sharing a few dishes.

Saturday: Coast, Coffee & Kiama 

  • 8 am-Walk the Coast.  Start the morning with a gentle walk along the Kiama Coastal Walk. From Shutters, you can take in the ocean, cliffs and open countryside without needing to get in the car.  
  • 10:00 AM – Kiama Harbour & Rockpool. Continue towards Kiama Harbour, passing the lighthouse and Norfolk Island Pines before wandering down to the rockpool. If the weather is warm, bring your swimmers.
  • 1:00 PM – Wander the Heritage StreetsTake a leisurely wander through Kiama's Historic Terrace Houses on Collins Street, then explore the little shops and cafés tucked around the Sandstone Walk.
  • 6:30 PM –Wine & Dinner Start the evening with a wine at Cin Cin Wine Bar, then settle in for dinner.


Sunday-A Slow Morning

  • 9:00 AM – Don't Rush Breakfast Sleep in. Make a coffee. Open the shutters and watch the ocean from bed. There's no reason to hurry this morning.
  • 11:00 AM –One Last Walk. Before heading home, take one last walk along Black Beach or around Kiama Harbour. Then it's time to reluctantly point the car towards home.

Local Insider Tip: Staying midweek? The Kiama Farmers' Market is held every Wednesday afternoon at Coronation Park beside Surf Beach. Pick up something local for a picnic or a treat for the drive home. 

Ready for your own 48 hours by the sea? Stay at Shutters by the Sea, where you can wake to the ocean, step onto the Coastal Walk and spend a couple of days doing as much — or as little — as you like.
