I.The House

Twelve at one table. Coffee on the deck before the rest of the house wakes up. A pool no one else is using.

Agape is an exclusive-use luxury farm stay on the NSW South Coast — one private residence on thirty-eight hectares, opened for one party at a time. You bring your people. We make sure the rest disappears. Six bedrooms across two masters and four guest rooms; everyone gets their own door and their own ensuite.

No one greets you in a lobby. No one asks for your dietary preference. You take the whole house, the pool and the alfresco; bring your own cook if you like. The owners live nearby — there if you need them, otherwise out of the way.

II.Accommodation
Six bedrooms, sleeps twelve.
Twin share, or split kings — configured to suit the party.

III.The Setting

Two hours from Sydney. A long way from your inbox.

The driveway folds down through the paddock, the ridgeline closes behind you, and the noise of the week takes another half hour to wear off. Agape sits on a working-scale farm in Jerrara — seven minutes inland from Kiama, the escarpment at its back, the Tasman a few kilometres east.

IV.The Land

A creek, an old fig,
a line of palms.

The land holds more secrets than we will ever know. A creek folds through the lower paddock, a fig tree has held its place for longer than living memory, and a stand of palms catches the last of the light. The ridgeline opens to the Tasman, seven minutes east of where you're standing.

V.The House

A kitchen that earns its keep.

By eight, the pizza oven is going and someone’s pouring the second bottle. The kitchen was built for that — twelve at one bench, no one waiting at the door of a hotel restaurant. The pavilion opens onto the pool; the butler’s pantry does the heavy lifting out of sight.

VII.Project Partners

Many hands,
a single house.

Agape was made by a small group of studios and trades working closely together over three years. Earthworks, engineering, construction, interiors, landscape — each named here. Our quiet thanks to all of them.

Trade and supplier enquiries are welcome — please write to team@agapesouthcoast.com.au.
VIII.The Practical

The questions
we are asked most.

If your question isn’t answered below, please write to team@agapesouthcoast.com.au. We try to reply within a working day.

  • Agape opens in December 2026, and the direct calendar for private stays opens in the weeks before launch — join the waitlist for first pick of opening-season dates. Three nights minimum off-peak, five in peak. For weddings, events, corporate retreats and photoshoots, please send an enquiry — these are bespoke and we shape every quote in conversation.

  • Thirty-three Halls Road, Jerrara, NSW 2533. Seven minutes inland from Kiama, ten from Gerringong, just over two hours by car from the Sydney CBD, and ninety minutes from Canberra. The property sits in the Kiama hinterland, a paddock’s walk from the ocean ridge.

  • Up to twelve adults across six bedrooms — two master suites and four near-identical guest rooms, each with its own ensuite and ocean view. The house is taken in its entirety; we do not let rooms individually.

  • December 2026. The waitlist for opening-season stays is open now; please write to team@agapesouthcoast.com.au or use the enquiry form.

  • Yes. Agape works as a private, exclusive-use wedding venue on the NSW South Coast — typically forty to one hundred guests for a ceremony on the paddock and a long table dinner under the alfresco. We offer multi-day takeovers so the celebration spreads across a weekend rather than a single afternoon.

  • Yes. Agape hosts leadership offsites and small-team retreats as a private venue — twelve sleep in-house and up to twenty can attend day sessions, with the whole property to yourselves for the duration. Send an enquiry and we’ll shape the format together.

  • Pricing is by whole-property, multi-night booking, and varies by season and length of stay. There are no nightly rates published online — once the calendar opens ahead of December 2026, you’ll select your dates and a tailored quote, with full terms, arrives within the hour. For weddings and events, pricing is bespoke and shaped in conversation.

  • Always. When you book Agape, you take the whole house, the pool, and the alfresco. No other guests, no shared spaces, no front desk. The owners live nearby in a separate residence — there if you need them, otherwise out of the way.

  • Children, very welcome — the property is set up for multi-generational stays. Pets, on a case-by-case basis; please mention them in your enquiry.

  • The full residence and grounds, the pool, the alfresco kitchen, premium bath and body amenities, all linen, a fully equipped kitchen with V-Zug appliances, and a small welcome provision. Catering, private chefs, and additional services can be arranged on request.

  • Seven minutes by car to Werri Beach at Gerringong, ten to Kiama Blowhole, twenty to Seven Mile Beach. The ocean horizon is visible from the upper rooms on a clear morning.

  • Yes — bring your own people, or use ours. The kitchen is built for it. We can introduce you to local chefs, caterers, florists, and celebrants if you’d like the introductions.
