Incredible panoramic views over Kiama, the coastline, rolling farmland and out towards the ocean. On a clear day you can see for miles and it really gives you a sense of how beautiful this region is. Easy access by car with parking available, making it a great quick stop for visitors and locals alike. Perfect spot for photos, a quiet moment, or bringing friends and family who are visiting the area. Peaceful, scenic, and well worth the short drive up. One of Kiama’s must see lookouts.

One of the most beautiful lookouts on the South Coast. The views stretch across rolling green farmland, forests and the coastline. Even on a cloudy day the scenery is breathtaking. We also spotted horses and kangaroos along the drive, making the visit even more special. A peaceful place to stop, take photos and enjoy nature.

Amazing views of the whole of the Illawarra with forests, farmland, the view of Wollongong city and the vast ocean

We had been there a couple of weeks ago, mid Dec 25. Vegetation is overgrown and the views are completely obstructed! We faced nothing but a wall of overgrown trees at viewpoint B & C, so did not bother walking to viewpoint A. The drive up to the mountains and time all in vain. We were left hugely disappointed at the lack of upkeep to ensure unobstructed views for the visitors.

Bit of a narrow + scenic road to get here, but it's a spectacular view. Worth it on a beautiful day.
