[Enquire about a group stay](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/groups/#enquire) ## How to book your stay Book online in a few minutes. Groups of seven or more can send one enquiry instead. - ### Pick an apartment Compare the [five apartments](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/apartments/). Each sleeps six, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. - ### Check your dates Select Check availability for live prices and open dates on MadeComfy's secure page. - ### Book securely Pay online and get your confirmation by email.

Check in from 3pm and park in your garage. ## Get to Kiama by car, train or plane Kiama is 134 km from the Sydney CBD, about 1 hour 45 minutes by car. Visit NSW suggests the [Grand Pacific Drive](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/grand-pacific-drive/) for the coastal version of the trip. Check-in opens at 3pm and it's self check-in, so you can leave after work on Friday, arrive in the evening, cook dinner and sleep in on Saturday. Each apartment has secure garage parking for two cars, so two couples can drive down separately without hunting for a park. No car? The train from Sydney takes just over two hours along the coast. Kiama station is about a 27-minute walk (2.2 km) from the apartments, so plan on a short taxi ride with luggage. Check times on the [Transport NSW trip planner](https://transportnsw.info). Flying in? Shellharbour Airport is about 20 minutes away by car. Our [Sydney to Kiama guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/plan-your-trip/sydney-to-kiama/) and [Kiama parking guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/plan-your-trip/kiama-parking/) cover the details. ## Pick your weekend around the markets, whales and swell A few dates and conditions shape a Kiama weekend, so check them before you book. - Kiama Seaside Market: held on the third Sunday of each month at Black Beach Reserve, with more than 100 stalls and a 9am start. Book that weekend and you can browse before your 10am check-out, or stay Sunday night and take your time. See our [Kiama markets guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/eat-and-drink/kiama-markets/). - Whale season: humpback and southern right whales pass Kiama from May to November. Read up on [whale watching in Kiama](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/whale-watching-kiama/). - The swell: Destination Kiama says the [Kiama Blowhole](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-blowhole/) performs in a south-east swell, while the [Little Blowhole](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/little-blowhole/) works in a north-east swell. The Little Blowhole is about a 20-minute walk from the apartments. - Events: check [Destination Kiama's What's On](https://kiama.com.au/whats-on-2) and our [Kiama events guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/things-to-do/kiama-events/) for festivals and shows on your dates.

These three are all a short drive from [Surfleet Place](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/live-and-own/kiama-ridge-waters-location/), and each has its own guide: [Minnamurra Rainforest](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/minnamurra-rainforest/), [Saddleback Mountain](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/saddleback-mountain/) and [wineries near Kiama](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/eat-and-drink/wineries-near-kiama/). ### Crooked River Estate 11 Willowvale Road, Gerringong The cellar door opens 10:30am to 5pm and is closed Mondays.
