SETTLE INTO SOMETHING BLUE

Room to gather.
Space to unwind.

Welcome to Kiama Blue, our two-bedroom coastal apartment at 4/62 Manning Street, just a short stroll from Surf Beach. A place to put your bags down, slow your pace and make a little time for the good things.

Spread across two levels, it brings a big, open-plan living area together with a separate floor for both bedrooms and bathrooms. Easy time together, with space to retreat at the end of the day.

A FIRST LOOK

A taste of the feeling — apartment images are illustrative concepts.

01 / COME TOGETHER

Long lunches. Lazy evenings.

A generous open-plan living area on its own level, with room for conversation, shared meals and doing very little at all.

02 / SWITCH OFF

A quieter kind of evening.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms share the other floor, keeping restful space separate from the rhythm of the living area.

THE KIAMA STATE OF MIND

Nowhere to rush.
Plenty to fall in love with.

OUTSIDE YOUR EVERYDAY

Small-town charm.
Big blue horizons.

Kiama has a way of slowing you down. On the NSW South Coast, green headlands meet the sea, beaches invite a barefoot wander, and the town’s cafés give you every reason to linger. Fill your days with coastal discoveries — or leave them beautifully unplanned.

A little natural drama

Watch the ocean put on a show at the Kiama Blowhole, near the lighthouse at Blowhole Point. Every visit is different: the spectacle depends on the wind and swell.

01

Kiama · Seafood & modern Australian

Silica

For an occasion worth lingering over, Silica pairs a Surf Beach setting with seafood-focused dining. It is a lovely choice for a more considered lunch or dinner, when the meal is part of the holiday rather than a stop between plans. Come for the coastal outlook and explore the current seasonal menu.

TAKE THE SCENIC WAY

Wild coast.
Green escapes.

Pack your walking shoes, leave a little room for adventure and discover the landscape beyond the beach. Coastal trails, rainforest walks and days on the water make Kiama an easy place to get outside.

01 / COASTAL WALK

Kiama Coast Walk

Choose a stretch of this 20km coastal route, which links Minnamurra with Werri Beach through headlands, beaches and town. You do not need to tackle it all: a shorter out-and-back is a lovely way to find your own pace. Check the route map and current access before setting off.

20km full route · shorter sections available

Route & current access ↗

02 / RAINFOREST WALK

Minnamurra Rainforest

Swap salt air for fern-filled forest on the Lyrebird loop in Budderoo National Park. Elevated walkways and suspension bridges offer an immersive look at the rainforest. For a longer, steeper outing, the Minnamurra Falls walk adds waterfall and canyon views; choose the route that suits your group and check park alerts before travelling.

Lyrebird loop: 1.6km · 30–60 min · Grade 3

Plan your rainforest visit ↗

For a longer outing: Minnamurra Falls walk ↗ — 4.2km return, 1–2 hours, Grade 4. Park entry fees apply.

03 / GEOLOGY & PHOTOGRAPHY

Bombo & Cathedral Rocks

Discover a wilder side of the coastline around Bombo, where dramatic basalt formations give the landscape an almost sculptural feel. Bombo Headland and nearby Cathedral Rocks are rewarding places to explore with a camera. Enjoy the established paths and lookouts, and keep clear of exposed rock edges and wave-washed areas.

Bombo & Kiama Downs · coastal exploring

04 / LOOKOUTS & COUNTRYSIDE

Saddleback Mountain

Take a break from the shoreline and head inland to Saddleback Mountain Lookout. Clear weather brings sweeping views across green countryside and the coast, with northern and southern viewing platforms offering different perspectives. It is an appealing scenic drive and a chance to see how closely Kiama’s rolling hills meet the sea.
