Before Sandstone Port kept card tables, this stretch of Kiama kept a rather different set of books — the story behind the name, and the room it left behind.
The history
A stonemason's booking office, once
Kiama's quarries kept punts and jetties busy for the better part of a century, and every block of stone cut, weighed and shipped south needed someone keeping count of it.
23 Terralong Street was that someone's office — a narrow room behind a stone front, not far from where Kiama's old jetty once stood.
The quarry trade wound down decades ago, and the building sat quiet for years before it was fitted out as a card room, keeping its stone-cut name along the way.

Now
Five tables, a house dealer, and one urn kept on all evening.
Worth knowing
A few notes on the building
It's an older building, so there's a step at the front door and narrow stairs to the side room.
No smoking indoors, in line with the law across New South Wales — there's a courtyard for that.
Parking's on-street only; there's no dedicated car park attached to the building.
Confirm you're 18 before you go further
Sandstone Port only exists as a real room on Terralong Street — nobody under eighteen past this point, and no version of this anywhere online.
Clicking through confirms you're old enough to enter Sandstone Port's card room in Kiama under New South Wales law, and that this page describes a real venue, not a game you can play here.
