This is my second stay at Nova, and it won’t be the last. The room was lovely, the lobby is delightful, and I enjoyed the fitness room and safe parking . Kiama is charming and scenic, and the Nova is perfectly located for a visit. Most of all the staff is warm and welcoming and helpful! I highly recommend a stay here.

The hotel room was clean. It would have been useful to have a couple of dining chairs and small table inside the room, rather than on the balcony as it was too cold to sit and eat outside.
