For larger groups:
The Red Cedar sleeps 10 guests in beds, but another 2 guests can be accommodated on floor mattresses, which can be supplied and fitted with linen upon request, for groups larger than 10. For groups of 10 or less, floor mattresses can be requested for a linen fee of $50 each, at least 8 days before check in. We also cater for families with infants, with a cot (fitted with linen) present in the downstairs master bedroom. However, please note that parties are strictly prohibited, and larger groups must ensure to keep noise levels to a minimum; any complaints of noise or other disruptions, or damages, may result in a charge on your security deposit.

Please ensure that all guests (including children and infants) are entered into your booking, so that we can prepare the property and bedding to your needs. A fair use fee is charged for guests more than 8, which covers costs of extra cleaning/maintenance and linen/towels/supplies usage, which helps us to keep costs lower for smaller groups. This fee will be automatically added during booking. We will prepare linen and beds for only the listed number of guests, so please ensure to inform us of all guests attending.

Interior design:
We hope you will enjoy The Red Cedar’s unique and newly-renovated interior. The house is composed almost entirely of red cedar wood constructed in a distinctive open-interior design, with powerful ceiling beams and a spacious void that overlooks the lower dining area.

    We loved the convenient location. Close to Kiama but far enough away to be immersed in the beautiful countryside and have a lovely view of the ocean. The only downside was some road noise from the Prince's highway. The house had plenty of parking and outdoor space for pets to run around in, plus seating in the garden area. Inside was spacious with plenty of rooms and private areas but there were lots of cobwebs and resident frogs that kept visiting. The kitchen was well stocked with glasses, crockery and cooking equipment, however, some utensils needed repair or replacing. Overall we had a fabulous time and would happily stay there again.

    It was a lovely place but a little rundown in several aspects, and noise from the freeway was noticeable. Great views and location high on the hill. Good communication with the manager.

    We arrived at the cottage to find that it was a little neglected in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. None of the outside lights worked and in two bedrooms no lights worked so we had to rely on the lamps for lighting. There were well established cobwebs outside and in the house(which was dusty too), with Daddy long legs spiders in every room and we found socks, tissues and dog hairs from previous visitors in the bedrooms. The kitchen was lovely and well equipped . Outside we had to pick up lots of animal dirt off the lawn before we could allow the children to go on it. Beside the first shed a glass door was laid and a large disused weedkiller container left on the ground. The outdoor table and bench was unusable with a plank on the wooden table sticking up and rot in the benches. The red and yellow bins were 3/4 full when we arrived so after two days we had nowhere to put the rubbish and by day 3 the smell of the septic tank would be apparent on an afternoon so we found it hard to enjoy the coastal breeze.

    I just wanted to say what a beautiful place, even Mr echidna made a surprise visit. We had a wonderful time at the property, it has a beautiful view, the house was amazing and we totally loved it, did not want to leave. The gardens were a treat and we did enjoy the surrounds of Kiama too, beach, cafe's etc. Thanks so much, we will be back again. Regards Sharon
