About this property
Kiama's Secret Ocean-view Cottage
4 minutes from Kiama's town centre and beaches.
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 $50 each, at least 8 days before check in. 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, may result in a charge on your security deposit.
Please ensure that all guests (including children and infants) are entered into your booking, so that we can prepare the property and bedding to your needs. A fair use fee is charged for guests more than 8, which covers costs of extra cleaning/maintenance and linen/towels/supplies usage, which helps us to keep costs lower for smaller groups. This fee will be automatically added during booking. We will prepare linen and beds for only the listed number of guests, so please ensure to inform us of all guests attending.
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.
If the dates you'd like are unavailable, feel free to check out our very popular waterfront property, KIAMA DREAM. 3 minutes from Kiama's town-centre, 2 min from two beaches, absolute ocean-front, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, the perfect beach-side family getaway.
