Book dinner at Silica or Yves Social, sing at Friday karaoke at Kiama Bowling Club, catch Friday music at the Grand Hotel, and take a club courtesy bus home.

Most of it sits within a few blocks: Terralong, Manning and Collins streets, the harbour and Blowhole Point. Friday and Saturday are the busy nights. Several restaurants close early in the week, so check the days and book ahead. Kiama Ridge Waters is on a quiet residential street south of the centre. Here's how far the main evening spots are from the apartments. Evening spot | What it's for | From Kiama Ridge Waters | Cin Cin Wine Bar | Wine and shared plates | About 19 min walk (1.6 km) | Silica Restaurant | Dinner by Surf Beach | About 22 min walk (1.9 km) | Kiama Bowling Club | Friday karaoke, bistro | About 24 min walk (2.0 km) | The Grand Hotel | Pub, Friday live music | About 25 min walk (2.1 km) | Kiama Leagues Club | Bistro, live music | About 32 min walk (2.6 km) | Collins Street bars | Cocktails, karaoke room, DJs | About 35 min walk (2.6 to 2.8 km) | Kiama Blowhole | Floodlit after dark | About 35 min walk (2.8 to 2.9 km), or 5 min by car | Saddleback Mountain Lookout | Sunset views | About 9 min by car (6.8 km) | The Courtyard, Gerringong | Fire pit, weekend live music | About 9 min by car (8.3 km) | Club [Jamberoo](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/jamberoo/) | Tuesday trivia | About 14 min by car (11 km) | ## Watch the sun go down from the hills and headlands Photo: RohanDavid, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiama_skyline.jpg) Kiama's coast faces east, so the sun sets behind the escarpment, not over the sea. The show is in the sky above the ocean and the silhouettes of the hills. In 2026, sunset ranged from about 4:52pm in mid-June to 8:13pm in early January, according to sunrise-sunset.org. In mid-October it is about 7.10pm. - Saddleback Mountain Lookout: views from Cronulla to Milton on a clear day, according to Destination Kiama, from a north-facing platform by the car park and a southern platform further up. It's about 9 minutes by car. - A Gerringong winery: Crooked River Estate runs Kick Back Fridays at its cellar door from 5pm (see below). Our [Kiama sunrise and sunset guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/beaches/kiama-sunrise-sunset/) has times for every month, and [Kiama lookouts](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-lookouts/) covers more viewpoints. ### Saddleback Mountain Lookout Saddleback Mountain, Kiama Lookout above Kiama with north and south platforms. About 9 minutes by car from the apartments. [Website](https://kiama.com.au/listings/things-to-do/saddleback-mountain-lookout)[Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Saddleback%20Mountain%20Lookout%2C%20Kiama%20NSW)Directions: [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=2%20Surfleet%20Place%2C%20Kiama%20NSW%202533&destination=Saddleback%20Mountain%20Lookout%2C%20Saddleback%20Mountain%2C%20Kiama%20NSW) · [Waze](https://waze.com/ul?q=Saddleback%20Mountain%20Lookout%2C%20Saddleback%20Mountain%2C%20Kiama%20NSW&navigate=yes) ## See the Blowhole under floodlights Photo: RohanDavid, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiama_lighthouse.jpg) The [Kiama Blowhole](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-blowhole/) doesn't close when the sun goes down. The area is floodlit after dark. It sits next to the [Kiama Lighthouse](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-lighthouse/) on Blowhole Point, so you get both in one short stroll from the car park. Go after dinner and you'll share it with far fewer people than in the day. The Blowhole needs a south-east swell to fire, so a flat night may be quiet. Check the Bureau of Meteorology coastal forecast before you go, and note that lighting times can change. From the apartments it's about a 35-minute walk (2.8 to 2.9 km) or a 5-minute drive. Stay behind the fences and off the rock platform in the dark, as the waves here are unpredictable. ### Kiama Blowhole Blowhole Point Road, Kiama Blowhole on Blowhole Point, floodlit after dark, next to Kiama Lighthouse.

Book ahead, and check the days: several of these close early in the week. Silica Restaurant on Manning Street sits by Surf Beach and builds its menu on South Coast produce. Its website lists dine-in dinner from 5.30pm, Wednesday to Saturday. It's about a 22-minute walk (1.9 km) from the apartments. Yves Social at The Sebel has an ocean-view deck and a shared-plates menu with pizzas, cheese boards and a kids' menu. It opens from 5.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and from noon Friday to Sunday, and it's closed on Monday and Tuesday. Cin Cin Wine Bar on Tingira Crescent is the closest night spot to the apartments at about 19 minutes on foot.
