Minna - Family Getaway
There is no shortage of natural light throughout the house, making the house warm and inviting. The modern kitchen merges seamlessly with the open plan living and dining space. Spend the afternoon relaxing upstairs in the lounge room while you take in the stunning views of the Minnamurra River and Killalea Beach or play a game of table tennis with your friends. Why not have a BBQ while you soak up the sunshine and enjoy an evening glass of wine.
For the golf enthusiast the Kiama Golf Course is just 550 metres away and known to be the best all-weather course in the Illawarra. A golfing escape can also include nearby Links at Shell Cove and Gerringong Golf Club or you could try out Jamberoo Foot Golf. Families will enjoy being able to swim in the river, at Mystics or nearby The Farm surf beach or patrolled Jones Beach. Launch your SUP or Kayak at the boat ramp or enjoy some fishing along the river. Activity for everyone includes playing tennis or using the childrens’ play equipment in nearby James Oates Reserve or riding 350m to try out the Minnamurra Bike Skills Track. Cyclists can enjoy being on the Kiama cycleway route that runs from Minnamurra to Gerroa. Minna is located in a photographers’ paradise and you might even catch seeing whales from May to November at the Minnamurra Whale Watching Platform.
A work station space with fantastic views is available. A Portacot is provided but you’ll need to supply your own linen. Guests can catch the train directly to and from Minnamurra station to Sydney and Wollongong. Only 8 kms drive away is The Waterfront at Shell Cove - a new and vibrant town centre and dining precinct overlooking the Marina.
You will have access to the entire property during your stay.
For your added comfort, the property has a reverse cycle split system air conditioner and a cosy gas log fire in the main living area and ceiling fans in bedrooms 1, 2 and 3. Looking for somewhere to get your morning coffee or a light lunch? Why not take a short stroll to the delightful Minnamurra General Store & Café. A short 900m away Kiama Downs has a Cafe, Takeaway and an IGA for all of your grocery needs. Minna is just a short walk to the Minnamurra railway station which will take you directly to Kiama so that you can enjoy a night out without the stress of driving.
Take a short drive to the picturesque Gerringong, where you can spend the day wining and dining, continue on to Gerroa to visit the spectacular 7-mile beach. Kiama is also only a short drive away. Take a walk through the Bonaira Native Garden rainforest walk, visit the Kiama Blowhole, Minnamurra Rainforest walk, Jamberoo Action Park or simply spend the afternoon at one of the local famous beaches, wineries or brewery. Looking for a great way to spend the day, walk the Kiama Coastal Path and visit one of the many great places in Kiama for lunch or dinner and get the train back!

We were impressed by the clean rooms, comfortable furniture and found the location conveniently close to the golf course. The house is beautifully presented and close to the minnamurra look out, where we saw whales breaching! Thankyou for a wonderful place to stay
