At Dovecote
Whether you seek serene relaxation or active exploration, our accommodations provide the ideal setting. Reconnect with nature by exploring 150 acres of picturesque farmland, enjoying a short walk to patrolled Werri Beach, or embarking on the stunning 12km coastal trail to Kiama Lighthouse.
To enrich your Dovecote experience, consider adding rejuvenating spa treatments, a sommelier-led tasting of local wines, ciders, and beers, or a private chef dining experience for an unforgettable culinary journey.
Around Dovecote
We want you to fully experience all that Dovecote has to offer, but we also encourage you to discover the charm of the South Coast NSW.
Head to the Kiama Farmers’ Market at Coronation Park every Wednesday afternoon. It’s a vibrant spot where you can pick up fresh produce, listen to live music, and enjoy a tasty hot meal, a drink, or a gelato.
For a unique perspective of Kiama and Gerringong, consider a boat charter from Kiama Harbour. There are plenty of fishing and leisure options for groups and families up to 8 people.

The Design
Atelier Andy Carson masterfully designed The Headland to harmonise with the landscape, ensuring an immersive experience of the surroundings. Located roughly 50 metres from The Range, which subtly follows the land’s contours, the buildings are strategically placed and directed. This thoughtful positioning guarantees guests a remarkable sense of privacy, both between the accommodations and from the neighbouring township of Gerringong.

The History
Dovecote occupies a beautiful 150-acre oceanfront farm overlooking Werri Beach, land that has been actively farmed since 1834 and is presently leased to a local dairy farmer. A nod to its past, the original Miller Family farmhouse from 1866 still stands nearby. The contemporary Dovecote, designed for owner Jeffrey Simpson, was brought to life by Bellevarde Constructions in 2017 and began operating as an accommodation by the middle of 2018.
