Easter Egg Hunt with a View at Diggies Kiama 🥚🐰🥚
The team at Diggies Kiama is bringing the Easter fun a little early this year, with their much-loved Great Egg Hunt happening on Thursday 17 April at 10am. Bring the kids (and a basket!) for Kiama’s biggest egg hunt, with face painting, lawn games, and even a visit from the Easter Bunny. Meet out the front of the Kiama Visitor Information Centre, and don’t forget to register—it’s free and guaranteed fun for the whole family.
Grab your Chocolate eggs at Jamberoo Action Park 🐰🥚🐰
What’s a Kiama School Holiday without a visit to Jamberoo Action Park. Home to NSW’s best water rides and slides, Jamberoo is a must-do these school holidays! Plus, from 10–11am on Easter Sunday, keep your eyes peeled for the Easter Bunny and Sammy the Shark as they spread smiles (and chocolate eggs!) throughout the park. Don’t forget to wipe the chocolate off your face before snapping an insta-worthy selfie or catching a show with Shaunicus the Magician (maybe ask him for some help to win the Easter Hamper Guessing Competition!?).
Easter Sunday Fun at Yves Kiama 🐰🥚🐰
The team at Yves Kiama is turning up the Easter vibes on Sunday 20 April from 12pm, with a festive afternoon of food, fun and family-friendly activities. While the little ones hunt for eggs, get their faces painted, and meet the Easter Bunny in the garden courtyard, adults can relax with a long lunch overlooking the harbour, complete with Easter-themed cocktails. Local musician James Vann will be playing live to set the mood—bookings are essential for this one!

Get active these Autumn holidays
Earn your own easter eggs by expending some energy or get your kids active with their chocolate-fuelled energy by tackling an Easter adventure. Here are just a few ideas for your Easter holidays:
Kiama Coast Walk
The magnificent Kiama Coast Walk spans around 20kms from Minnamurra Station (north of Kiama) to Gerringong in the south and is appropriate for most levels of fitness. You can divide the walk into three shorter segments, with some parts allowing even the youngest scooter adventurer to get their kicks on and cruise along the shores. A stop at the Big Blowhole but also the lesser-known Little Blowhole are a must and gives you a chance to see but also feel the power of nature (and both have cafes nearby!).
Get your glutes in shape while taking in unique scenery
Exploring new surroundings on a (e-)bike is a thrilling experience. If you’re seeking a family adventure during these Easter school holidays, the Gerringong to Gerroa shared track stunning views of picturesque rolling mountains and incredible vistas of Seven Mile Beach is a great option – but remember, it’s called shared for a reason!
If one ride is not enough view our full list of local rides here.
Ready for a literal ‘beach break’?
If you’re looking to acquire a new skill, school holidays present an ideal opportunity. Why not try booking a lesson with one of the two surf camps and schools situated in Gerroa? These lessons are appropriate for individuals of various ages and provide an excellent chance for families to participate in a wholesome activity together. Check out Gerroa Surf Camp and Gerringong Surf School.
Try your hand (or foot!) at FootGolf
The team at Jamberoo Golf Club brings something exciting to the green with FootGolf – a mix of soccer and golf! Grab a soccer ball and kick it into special holes on the course. It’s fun for all ages and skill levels, with separate FootGolf holes just waiting for you to tackle. Available every day from 2pm.
