Picture-perfect and carefree, the South Coast of NSW is a hotspot for getaways; rolling green hills, national parks, sun-kissed beaches, sprawling acreages and seaside villages. Taking full advantage of it all is Kiama โ loved for its swell, rock pools, and spacious foreshore parks.
Only 90 minutes from Sydney, Kiama has an unbeatable lifestyle of ease and leisure. From a jam-packed calendar of festivals and events to the on-trend cafes and restaurants that champion fresh local produce. When it comes to things to do in Kiama, there is no holding back; fishing charters, whale watching, boating, coastal walks, surfing, swimming, rock pools and incredible outlooks, there is plenty of fun to be had in and around Kiama.
Effortlessly stylish, Diggies is an all-day venue that shines a spotlight on local produce. Whether youโre coming for brunch or a cheeky beverage (their cocktails are delish), the view is guaranteed to impress.
Hungry Monkey has a well-earned reputation for their breakfast. But, donโt be surprised if you find yourself back here when lunchtime hits because their burgers have become a real, local favourite.
A wholefoods eatery with an easy-breezy vibe, Wild Patchโs all-day menu goes down a real treat with a healthy burger selection and a winning kids menu. They close at 2 pm, so drop by early.
Overlooking Surf Beach, Silica is a modern Australian restaurant which features ocean-fresh seafood. Order takeaway for a beachside picnic or treat yourself to a set two-, five-, or seven-course dinner.
Sitting across from the boat harbour, Penny Whistler is serving modern Australian dishes all-day and into the evening. Plus, they have an extensive wine offering. Oh, and did we mention the view?
Across from Surf Beach, Olive & Vine is a dinner venue (open for Sunday lunch only) with a delicious modern Australian menu with a hint of Italian. Although licensed, you can byo your favourite drop.
On the third Sunday of every month, Kiama Seaside Markets pops up along the harbour foreshore with over 100 stalls showcasing locally designed clothes, handcrafts, vintage, up-cycled products and so much more.
Every Wednesday, the bell is rung at exactly 2 pm (or 3 pm during daylight savings) to announce the beginning of market trading. Shop for fruit and veggies, seafood, meat, dairy, sourdough and street food.
A lifestyle store filled with one-off pieces that have a story to tell. From fashion, homewares and furniture, they are natural, textured, and embody the coastal free-spirited lifestyle.ย
Indigo Rose has an evolving collection of textured furnishings and homewares. Inspired by local and international artisans, there is a full range, from coastal hues to earthy tones.
Experience the big โWhooshโ and the spray of the ocean at Kiama Lighthouse & Blowhole. The blowhole itself is located next to the Lighthouse, the opening is 2.5 metres wide and can reach heights of up to 30-metres.
From Minnamurra River to Gerringong, the Kiama Coast Walk is one of the most scenic walks you will ever do. Passing beaches, foreshore parks, and rock formations. And the views are incredible, every which way you turn.ย
Bomboโs unusual basalt walls and columns are an attraction within themselves. The headlands also have a great surfing beach, and walking trails with views of Cathedral Rocks, Minnamurra Headland and Kiama.
Kiama is a hotspot for dolphin and whale watching. Head to Minnamurra Whale Watching Platform, just north of Kiama Downs between May and November for the best seats in the house.
A string of surf and swimming beaches run from Gerringong to Kiama (and beyond), and the rockpools are a real crowd-pleaser. Blowhole Point Rock Pool and the Continental Rock Pool are our picks.
An outdoor loverโs dream, Minnamurra has it all. A beach and river for stand-up paddleboarding, a headland for incredible views, a whale watching platform, and further inland, a subtropical rainforest.ย ย

Highly recommend staying at Oceanview Kiama Luxury Coastal Accommodation. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. The main bed was so comfy and our guest staying on the sofa bed said this was very comfy too. The unit was exactly as described, very spacious and nicely decorated. We enjoyed sitting on the verandah taking in the views of surf beach - very relaxing! It was great to park our car in the underground car park and walk everywhere from the unit. We took the option of ordering the grazing plate - the food in this was delish! The owner communicated exceptionally to us throughout our stay which made us feel at ease. Everything was perfect. Would love to come back and stay here again. Thank you Valerie for sharing your beautiful unit with us.
