History of Kiama B&B

Landscaping
In the mid 1980’s Tony and Marian van Zanen moved to the south coast town of Kiama after designing and building their family home, which they named “Ki-jeroo” (at the junction of Kiama, Jerrara and Jamberoo). Tony’s expertise in earthmoving, landscaping and concreting were put to the test to turn a steep, rocky barren paddock into a regenerated rainforest, complete with native plants, animals and birds. This he achieved with brilliant results.
Garden Setting
After a 9-month touring holiday in Europe and the UK in 1996 and returning to face the “empty nest” syndrome. Tony and Marian decided upon opening their home to guests – and the result is Kiama Bed & Breakfast. At this time, Bed & Breakfast was a new concept in Kiama and provided and alternative form of accommodation to caravans and camping.
Views of Jamberoo Valley
After 18 months of operating 2 guesthouse bed & breakfast rooms, more specialized bed & breakfast accommodation was provided by the addition of a specially designed cedar cottage containing two separate bed & breakfast suites for couples, families or groups. The air conditioned suites and adjoining deluxe living room accommodation with lounge, dining and self contained fully appointed kitchen (complete with dishwasher and microwave), open out onto a spacious shaded verandah with comfortable deck furniture.
More landscaping, gardening and terracing has resulted in a unique property providing interesting plants, browsing paths and play areas whilst being safe, private and utterly peaceful.

We have been well looked after, enjoyed the cleanliness (being fussy) the crisp linen, enjoyable breakfast and settings. We will definitely be back with friends and grand-daughter to enjoy the comfort of the cottage. With heartfelt thanks and gratitude for your wonderful company and huge breakfasts. Atmosphere tops.

“Marian and Tony, once again we had a lovely stay, wonderful company and friends and last but not least the excellent hospitality – it’s almost like home. Second stay and it will definitely not be our last, so we will be back and always keep in touch”
