Holiday house

Barely rising above the contours of the hill, tucked away and hidden, SANTA BARBARA captures breathtaking views of the ocean, rolling meadows, headland, surf and rockpools. Living and sleeping areas flow into a private deck that in turn cascades down into a large courtyard, each level taking in a different angle of the scenery.

SANTA BARBARA, rated 4-star, is elegantly and luxuriously appointed -- perfect for those looking for something truly special. SANTA BARBARA has 3 spacious bedrooms, ensuite to the main. The kitchen has double oven, integrated ref, microwave, dishwasher, fully optioned with commercial grade kitchen appliances.<p>For indoor entertainment choose between the 5.1 Home Theatre, XBOX and PlayStation2 systems. A range of music, movies, xbox & ps2 games, books and board games are provided for your enjoyment. Fully air-conditioned with romantic open fireplace of course.<p>Also washing machine, dryer, ducted vacuuming, stainless steel gas BBQ, market umbrellas, double auto lock-up garage. Superb quality linen and bath towels are provided for all guests.

There is a welcome hamper of nibblies, cookies and candies. There is an espresso machine with fresh coffee beans thrown in of course. With our compliments a nice bottle of sparling is also chilling in the fridge.

SANTA BARBARA is a recent addition to YourUltimateBeachHouseExperience!, a concept by Jose and Helen who are very passionate about hosting you only in the best waterside properties. SANTA BARBARA takes its name from the town where Jose's grandparents' home and mango orchards are -- where he spent many countless lovely summers as a boy.

"We came to Kiama to go fishing. We ended up spending more time on the deck just soaking the views. We will keep coming back"- Julian, Bexley NSW. (They've been back twice!)

"We explored Jamberoo, Berry and Jervis Bay too. But it was just lovely to come back home to Santa Barbara" -- John, St Kilda VIC.

Locality

The beach and rock fishing are a mere 7 minute walk from SANTA BARBARA, the cafes in the centre of Kiama are 5 minutes away. The tidal pool, lighthouse and fish market are 10 minutes away. Only 1.5 hours drive south of Sydney CBD, Kiama is a picture perfect town with its dramatic rocky coastline, sandy beaches and attractive harbour. The hinterland behind the town is dominated by lush green dairy pastures and rolling hills.<p>The area's original inhabitants, the Wodi Wodi Aborigines, are said to have called the place Kiarama-a or Kiar-mai. The meaning is usually given as where the sea makes a noise, a reference to the blowhole, known as Khanterintee, meaning mysterious noise, by the local Aborigines. Kiama is proud of its heritage as a major port more than a century ago and has frozen in time its elegant old buildings. It has iconized its oceanfront caravan parks to remind us of the simple summer pleasures of Aussies of an almost bygone era.

Yet Kiama has strong sense of its future -- its 4.5 star resort hotel opening soon, only 5 minutes walk from SANTA BARBARA. Kiama is the best base from which you can explore the water parks of Jamberoo, the quaint town of Berry, the white sands of Jervis Bay, hang-gliding at Stanwell Park, and dotting NSWs own Great Ocean Road -- the hamlets of Coalcliff and Coledale, the upcoming villages of Bulli, Austinmer and Thirroul.

Your Beach House

A villa perched on a clifftop, SANTA BARBARA has a most exciting waterside position. It has wide panoramas and big skies. Its thunderstorms are dramatic and its sunset moving. Clifftoppers revel in theatrical effects. Its perfectly northerly orientation ensures a flood of warm sunshine all through the cooler months making it an ideal escape all year round.

We suggest the warm woolen jumper and a good barossared in winter; in spring binoculars to watch the whales with their babies heading back south; the sun cream, fishing rod and sand between your toes in summer; and in autumn those long outdoor dinners are perfect with the balmy evenings. Watch nature at play -- pelicans and sea eagles, dolphins and whales from any vantage point - your bedroom or living room, deck or courtyard, the beachfront reserve or from the cliff edge.

You can ring a number of cafes hand-picked for you to deliver hot breakfast in bed or any cuisine you fancy. Or just walk to the pubs and bistros and enjoy many drinks without watching out for blue lights. And oh, an indulgence you should not miss is a home-visit massage on the deck, under the sun or under the stars.
