Although the town of Kiama in New South Wales is home to some of the finest sea and sands in the world, boasts a lush and unique landscape of hills, mountains and forestry and brings with it a paradise like climate in the summer months; it is not all about sunbathing on the beach and staring at the hills. There are lots of things to do in Kiama and the following list should help spark your interest and make that holiday all the more memorable. Book Kiama accommodation online with South Coast Holidays.
To ignore its breathtaking scenery would be a crime, but you can do more than look. Hit the guides or ask around for the best trails, walks or scenic drives. You won’t regret it. Some of the more popular drives and walks include the Bombo Headland (this former blue metal quarry is like something out of space or a fantasy movie with its imposing columns and basalt walls), Carrington Falls (a fantastic walk that leads to the 50 metre waterfall that gushes in to Kangaroo valley), Cathedral Rocks (almost glowing orange these beautiful rocks have been worshipped by photographers and sight seers for years), Knights Hill Road Tree Top Walk (taking you high over the Kiama Coastline) and the Saddleback Mountain Lookout (offering a view like no other). All of these locations offer spots to rest and set up a picnic, making the views that extra special. Just remember to bring a camera.
Despite all of these amazing views, one of the most popular attractions among tourists is the Blowhole that was discovered by George Bass in 1797. When the sea is running from the east huge shoots of water come spurting out of the hole to onlookers amazement, all of which is a fascinating natural occurrence. The children will love getting sprayed by this oversized water gun.
It’s natural beauty that makes Kiama so special and the wildlife in this part of the world is truly unique. A popular place to see some of it is at the Barren Grounds Bird Observatory, off Jamberoo Mtn Rd. It offers several trails where you can observe different species and habitats. The Bonaira Native Gardens also offer a great opportunity to experience the wildlife of the region, especially rainforest species. The area offers a full cycle trail round the gardens.
People love to eat, drink and experience local culture on holiday and Kiama offers everything you need. Kiama restaurants, cafes and bars aim to please. The crooked river winery, which is open to the public, produces over 100,000 bottles of port and wine each year, all of which is made next door in the fabulous vineyard offering a spectacular view out in to the mountains. The nearby restaurant, which has won over 18 awards, is a great place to taste such wine.
Full from all the eating and drinking you may want to burn off those calories at one of the great Kiama Golf Courses. The town’s natural landscape makes golf a perfect sport to take up and it is a great way to wind down after more strenuous activities.
Still if you are more adventurous then there is nothing stopping you hitting the surfer’s spots, some of the most popular in the world. You can also try windsurfing, fishing or you might just want to splash in the crystal clear water.
Although there is a lot of exciting things to do and see, one of the more interesting and educational aspects of the town is the Heritage Centre, taking you on a mind opening history lesson about the pioneers of the area.
You’ll never be stuck for choice in an awe inspiring place like Kiama.
