About this place
What to expect
Located on Blowhole Point, the Kiama Lighthouse is hard to miss. Established in 1887, 10 years after the creation of the Robertson Basin, the man-made Kiama Harbour, the lighthouse sits 36.5 metres above sea level. The Principal Keeper's House was destroyed by vandals in the 1920s. However, the single storey Assistant Keeper's House, used for many years as a residence for harbour pilots, is now the Pilots' Cottage Museum. There is no access available to the inside of the lighthouse.
