About
Escape to Kianinny Bush Cottages Nestled where the rugged Sapphire Coast meets the tranquil Australian bush, Kianinny Bush Cottages offers a unique escape that feels worlds away, yet is only minutes from the heart of Tathra. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a base for coastal adventure, this is where the forest finds its rhythm. Your Private Sanctuary Under the Canopy Imagine waking up to the gentle chorus of bellbirds and the scent of eucalyptus. Our self-contained cedar cottages are thoughtfully spaced to ensure maximum privacy, blending seamlessly into the 100-acre natural landscape. The Ultimate Cozy Retreat: Every cottage features its own private log fireplace. There’s nothing quite like the crackle of a real wood fire to settle into after a day of exploring (we even provide the firewood during the Winter months!).

Space for Everyone: From cozy hideaways for couples to spacious multi-bedroom lodges, we provide a true "home away from home" for families and groups alike. Adventure at Your Doorstep At Kianinny, the great outdoors is your personal playground. Our property is packed with activities to keep every age entertained: On the Water: Grab a paddle and explore our private lake by canoe - free for all guests to enjoy. Wombat Holes Mini-Golf: Test your skills on our uniquely designed 18-hole championship mini-golf course, featuring fun challenges for adults and shortcuts for the kids. On the Trails: Discover winding bushwalks where you’re likely to spot resident kangaroos, wallabies, and vibrant birdlife. Resort Facilities: Take a dip in the solar-heated saltwater pool, play a match on the tennis and basketball courts, or let the kids loose in the games room. The Best of Both Worlds While our bush setting feels beautifully secluded, you are never far from the best of the Sapphire Coast: Tathra Beach: Just a 5-minute drive to pristine sands, the historic wharf, and world-class surfing. Mountain Biking: Access some of Australia’s premier mountain bike trails right from our perimeter. School Holiday Fun: Visiting during the break? Don't miss our instructor-led Flying Fox and Archery sessions! "Kianinny isn't just a place to stay; it’s a place to breathe." Whether you’re curled up by your private wood fire or navigating the greens of Wombat Holes, Kianinny Bush Cottages invites you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature.

- Love how peaceful it was and the wild life was great to watch out the the window.
- Loved the feeling that you were in the bush and all the activities available on site. Eg. Flying Fox, mini golf, tennis, paddle boats and outdoor swimming pool. A very tame and curious possum tried to follow us inside the cottage.
Cons -
- The bed was a bit hart
- A bit dust under the bunk bed slats so my hubby’s asthma was playing up a bit. Everything was dated in cottage 7. Inside the cottage was colder than outside during the day.
- Evidence of damp in the cottages.

Great location, we really enjoyed it! Staff were wonderful. Loved access to firewood. Only issue were mattress on main bed not that great but was value for money and we really enjoyed our stay.
Amazing well kept facilities which kept the kids engaged the whole time. Bush walks around property and interactions with some very tame possums.Cottages were comfortable and had everything we needed. Staff were very helpful
Evidence of damp in the cottages.
It was a nice and quiet location. I like that it is in the bush. The cabins are not too close together. We liked being able to use the tennis courts, swimming pool, canoes and mini golf.
The day programs meant that we couldn’t use some of the facilities when we wanted to. There is no oven for cooking. Kitchen utensils were very basic. The washing machines only take coins but there is no change machine and the office is not staffed all the time so if you get home after a big day out you can’t get change for the washing machine. The split system rumbles against the wall so it’s not great for night time when you want to sleep.
Location and size of the cottage plus all the facilitiesStaff were excellent
Great location close to beach. Great fun activities for the kids.Lovely setting in the bush.
Minor - big gap in the bedroom windows at side of the blinds made the rooms very light early morning so woken very early.
Friendly staff and fun activities, beautiful location
Very comfortable, lovely staff, not crowded, facilities are amazing like free mini-golf with 19 challenging levels, free access to games rooms, clean heated swimming pool, close to the beach and free canoeing activities. You also can spot kangaroos roaming around.
We liked everything about this spacious property. Comfortable beds, large kitchen with all utensils needed to make our in house cooking and bar b q excellent. The shower room was also very spacious and the whole unit extremely clean. Because we arrived at the start of the autumn period it was lovely and quiet and we used all the facilities with ease. We would recommend this place to everyone.
Nothing it was all just perfect.
The site was accessible and tidy, and the staff were very helpful.
Great bush setting. Cottages very clean and comfortable although there wasn't a tea towel to dry the dishes. A Little noisy with the kids camped there but that is expected and they quiet down nice and early so this is not an issue. Being able to go for a bush walk without having to drive anywhere is a bonus.
Beautiful cabins, clean and great facilities. You don't need to leave the place it has everything to keep the children amused. Just loved it so much. The wildlife was amazing. Could not have asked for better. Also the staff were extremely helpful. Thank you ? will be making many more visits to this wonderful place
Loved everything, no negatives at all
Great location. Close to the beach, a pub and shops. Short drive to Merimbula and Bega. The cottage is very clean and private.
Carport a bit narrow but heaps of room to park in front of the cottage
Booked this cabin for my single brother. He loved the peace and quiet and the bush setting
Quiet, immaculate and fantastic facilities. This was our fourth stay, absolutely love it here and highly recommend it.
I Ioved the bush setting with the bonus is being 5 minutes to a great beach. The cabins were well spaced which provided enough privacy to really enjoy the quiet environment. It had lots of activities for kids and adults such as putt putt, canoeing, swimming pool as well as pool table and more.
The screen door wouldn’t close and I would love to see a screen that closed to allow the door to remain open for air and to keep the flies and mosquitoes out.
Quiet, clean and picturesque.
Everything was fantastic
Stayed here multiple times. Good size apartment, nice location. Always stay here when we go to Tathra
Nothing really....
