Kiama's glorious Saddleback Mountain offers a photographer's dream, with the elevated Saddleback Mountain Lookout.
On a clear day, take in the breathtaking views from Cronulla in the north to Milton in the south. While the north-facing viewing platform (off main car park) is excellent, be sure to checkout the recently opened southern platform further up from the main car park.
Located just 10 minutes from Kiama's Blowhole, Saddleback Mountain Lookout is one of the area's greatest natural attractions.
One of the most beautiful lookouts on the South Coast. The views stretch across rolling green farmland, forests and the coastline. Even on a cloudy day the scenery is breathtaking. We also spotted horses and kangaroos along the drive, making the visit even more special. A peaceful place to stop, take photos and enjoy nature.

Incredible panoramic views over Kiama, the coastline, rolling farmland and out towards the ocean. On a clear day you can see for miles and it really gives you a sense of how beautiful this region is.
Easy access by car with parking available, making it a great quick stop for visitors and locals alike. Perfect spot for photos, a quiet moment, or bringing friends and family who are visiting the area.
Peaceful, scenic, and well worth the short drive up. One of Kiama’s must see lookouts.

Absolutely stunning views from Saddleback Mountain Lookout! The drive up is scenic, with winding roads and beautiful countryside. Once at the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking—you can see rolling farmlands, Kiama’s coastline, and even as far as Wollongong on a clear day. The lookout is well-maintained with easy access and multiple vantage points, making it a great spot for photos or just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Unlike some crowded tourist spots, it’s quiet and relaxing. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area!

Bit of a narrow + scenic road to get here, but it's a spectacular view. Worth it on a beautiful day.
