Step into a five-bedroom home, including a separate guesthouse, and unwind with crystal-clear water views from the deck. Take advantage of private steps down to the tidal waters, use of an owner's kayak, or bring your fishing rod and SUP. 9.6 Exceptional ### Entire home 5 bedrooms4 bathroomsSleeps 10 ## Popular amenities - Parking available - Washer - Pet-friendly - Fireplace - Kitchen - Barbecue grill ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Absolute waterfront beach house Step into this stunning five-bedroom home (including separate guesthouse) and be mesmerised by the crystal-clear water views. It doesn't get more waterfront than this. Meander down the private steps from the deck into the transparent tidal waters and see nature at its finest. But please - on an important note - you must know that Minnamurra is tranquil village. You will enjoy unwinding - and you will delight in the silence across the water in the evening and morning. Almost all houses are occupied by permanent residents. This is inherent in the beauty of the spot. But it also means that this is NOT a party house. We need our guests to be quiet and respectful of the neighbours who've been here for decades So - Under NO Circumstances CAN This House BE Used TO Host Parties (OR ANY Form OF Gatherings Over 10 People). And no hen or stag groups - sorry. You must know that if you party at this house unfortunately the party will be shut down. Also note the max guest is 10 unless you specifically discuss with us. We will not tolerate any unplanned additions to 10. Now back to the beauty of the property and the location Relax, unwind and let your stresses melt away. Allow your day to follow the rhythm of the tides. Take a walk on the sand, swim across to the ocean, or make use of the owners kayak. Don't forget to bring your fishing rod, SUP and surfboard! There is a large living room with stunning water views, a gas fireplace for cosy nights, board games and a smart TV. There is also a dining table that seats 8 and a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. There are lounge chairs on the upper deck and a BBQ with dining setting on the lower deck. With super fast WiFi and 3 dedicated work desks, you can bring the office away with you. Downstairs: Bedroom 1 - Queen bed, ensuite, access to own deck. Powder room. Upstairs: Bedroom 2 - Queen bed. Bedroom 3 - Bunk beds. Bedroom 4 - Bunk beds, ensuite, access to own balcony. Family bathroom. Guest house: One queen bed and ensuite. You will have access to the entire property during your stay, except the garage. However there is a double carport available for guest use. For your added comfort, the property has a reverse cycle unit in bedrooms 1 and 3. For those cooler months, there is a warm fireplace in the dining room. The house is just a short three-minute walk to the Minnamurra railway station for trains to Kiama so that you can enjoy a night out without the stress of driving. Looking for somewhere to get your morning coffee or lunch, take a short stroll to the delightful Minnamurra General Store & Café which is just a few minutes walk. The golf course is a 2 minute drive. Looking for a day trip, you can visit the Kiama Blowhole, hike in the Minnamurra Rainforest or simply spend the afternoon at one of the local beaches. Looking for a great way to spend the day, walk the Kiama Coastal Path down to Kiama and get the train back. Safety: Please keep in mind when making your booking that the house is on the rivers edge and there is no fencing between the back garden and the waters edge so this house may not be suitable for families with very young children. Please also keep this in mind if you are bringing your dog along with you. Noise Policy Neighbours & Restrictions: We always follow strict noise regulations and ask you to be respectful and considerate. This is a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Any breach of the noise regulations may result in eviction without a refund of the remaining funds or deposit. Alongside a car park, this property also allows street parking. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage and a carport ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Shower - Soap ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry detergent - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33644600/33644593/13f9af56.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kiama Dream – Absolute Waterfront | Panoramic Ocean Views | Large Groups Kiama - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.6 Excellent 60 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=33644593&PinnedHotelID=33644593&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30800000/30790100/30790075/13c52fb0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachfront House with direct access to the Beach.
