Kiama's Secret Ocean-view Cottage

On 3 private acres of Saddleback Mountain.
Sweeping views of the open ocean, Kiama township and Kiama lighthouse.
Alongside 200 year old stone walls from Australia's convict history
2 master bedrooms and 3 ensuites

Just an easy 4 minute drive from Kiama’s town centre and a short walk from local cafes, shops and service station, The Red Cedar is the perfect family-friendly residence. Enjoy a swim at the various beaches, discover Kiama’s world-famous blowhole, sample the South Coast’s renowned wineries and explore the endemic Minnamurra Rainforest. The Red Cedar is the perfect central residency to access all of this and so much more.


Ground floor:
A spacious master bedroom with a king bed, ensuite and cot, and direct sliding door access to a private deck and peaceful side lawn which has sweeping views of the Kiama township, lighthouse and the ocean below.
A second bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite, spilling out onto the front decking with direct views of the scenery below.
A third bedroom with 2 king single beds, with views into the side lawn.
A generous void-style living, dining and kitchen in one, perfect for entertaining guests.
A bathroom with bath and views of the side lawn.
An extensive driveway and dedicated parking lot with both paved and gravel options.
A double garage and shed residing away from the house.


Second floor:
A second master bedroom with a newly-renovated shower ensuite, study desk and private balcony overlooking the garden and with ocean views.
A fifth, newly-renovated ocean-facing bedroom with private balcony and tatami-style king bed. This room has the property's best views!
A second relaxing living area with TV and couches.


For larger groups:
The Red Cedar sleeps 10 guests in beds, but another 2 guests can be accommodated on floor mattresses, which can be supplied and fitted with linen upon request, for groups larger than 10. For groups of 10 or less, floor mattresses can be requested for a linen fee of $30 each. We also cater for families with infants, with a cot (fitted with linen) present in the downstairs master bedroom. However, please note that parties are strictly prohibited, and larger groups must ensure to keep noise levels to a minimum; any complaints of noise or other disruptions, or damages, will result in a charge on your security deposit (up to $1000).


Interior design:
We hope you will enjoy The Red Cedar’s unique and newly-renovated interior. The house is composed almost entirely of red cedar wood constructed in a distinctive open-interior design, with powerful ceiling beams and a spacious void that overlooks the lower dining area.

Amazing house - We loved it.
I just wanted to say what a beautiful place, even Mr echidna made a surprise visit. We had a wonderful time at the property, it has a beautiful view, the house was amazing and we totally loved it, did not want to leave. The gardens were a treat and we did enjoy the surrounds of Kiama too, beach, cafe's etc. Thanks so much, we will be back again. Regards Sharon

Beautiful and spacious
What a gorgeous place to stay. A beautiful house in a Really beautiful location. Gorgeous views. Ample parking. Well equipped kitchen with enough to cater adequately for a full house of guests. Will be back. Loved it. Note: the main bathroom has a bath with a hand shower. So some of us showered in the bedroom ensuites. And if you sleep with the windows open you will hear the freeway.

Girls Weekend
School girls catching up for a weekend of shopping & fun. Great indoor fire kept the house nice & warm, well suited for 4-5 couples, plenty of room. & well equipped kitchen. Would of been helpful to have a broom to sweep the floors, this would be the only criticism as it wasn’t provided.

Overall great place. Some bits showing some wear, but great location, good size rooms, good outdoors, good view. Could do with some aircon upstairs for hot days. Comfortable for 9 adults and two kids under 2.

Beautiful location
Beautiful views. We were a group of 9 adults, but still had plenty of room to move. Well-equipped new kitchen, plus plenty of appliances. Lovely shady side lawn for picnic lunches or afternoon drinks beside the huge fig tree, Only downsides were the hardness of the beds and the BBQ is not gas fueled. Would recommend and stay there again.

Amazing timber home with fabulous views
This property is a very well kept secret. The house was equipped with everything you need. The many rooms and bathrooms accommodated a large group with ease. I would highly recommend this property for a group that want to feel like they are in the country but close to the town. My only thought and not at all a negative suggestion is the beds were hard. Overall a great experience.

Great place to stay!
We loved the property. We were a little disappointed that the little things were missing... no wood for the fireplace or for the fire pit, no milk for a cuppa, no tea bags, sugar in a broken bag in top cupboard. Just the small things that make arriving easier.
