About this property

Heritage home with coastal and rural views

Omega Schoolhouse is a beautifully restored heritage home, originally built in 1860 and thoughtfully reimagined with a striking contemporary addition. Nestled in a secluded pocket of Gerringong on the NSW South Coast, just 1.5hrs drive from Sydney, this reatreat offers a peaceful country escape with panoramic 270-degree views across the surrounding dairy farms, the township and Werri Beach. Only minutes drive to the village centres of Gerringong, Kiama and Berry, Omega offers easy access to beaches, golf, wineries, restaurants, cafes and shops.

Omega Schoolhouse offers two distinct and generous living spaces, thoughtfully designed for comfort, connection, and style. The Schoolroom is a vast, speakeasy-style lounge and bar housed in the original 1860s classroom. With its velvet sofas, crackling open fireplace, and walls lined with an extensive library, it’s the perfect place to unwind, challenge friends to a game of pool or choose from a curated selection of board games for a cosy night in.

The contemporary living area seamlessly blends luxury and functionality. At its heart is a spacious, modern kitchen with a large island bench—ideal for gathering family and friends while preparing meals. Equipped with premium appliances including a Smeg gas cooktop, large oven, and coffee machine, the kitchen flows into the dining space that comfortably seats ten, and an inviting lounge area with a TV.

Step outside the living area to the expansive balcony, where a state-of-the-art outdoor BBQ and outdoor sitting area take full advantage of the breathtaking 270-degree views. The contemporary living area is fitted with reverse-cycle air conditioning, ensuring comfort year-round—whether you’re entertaining indoors or stepping out to soak in the scenery.

Designed for families and groups, the house features two expansive outdoor decks - perfect for sunset drinks - alongside an outdoor fireplace and a bocce court. With generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, ample parking, and premium amenities, this home blends timeless character with modern comfort for an unforgettable stay.

Omega features four generously sized bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to offer comfort, privacy, and a connection to natural surroundings;

Master Suite: A luxurious king bed anchors this expansive suite, complete with walk-in robe and private ensuite. Wake up to views of the sunrise over Werri Beach.

The Principal's Office: Located in the original principal's office, this suite features a four-poster queen bed, soaring ceilings, and a private ensuite. A character-filled space with heritage charm.

Rose Valley View: A bright spacious room featuring a queen bed, a beautiful heritage window overlooking the surrounding dairy farms and original high ceilings.

Dairy Farm View: Also enjoying views of the surrounding hills, this light-filled room features two king-single beds beneath high ceilings.

All bedrooms are newly carpeted and include ceiling fans, individual heaters, full length mirrors, and generous hanging and storage space. A premium single fold out bed (for a child) and/or cot may also available on request.

Omega offers three well-appointed bathrooms, plus a spacious, modern laundry with an additional toilet - providing perfect for access from the lower deck and backyard. The main bathroom and the master ensuite both feature large bathtubs, ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach or exploring the countryside. All showers are fitted with dual shower heads for a luxurious experience.
Every bathroom includes underfloor heating, heated towel rails, ambient and task lighting, and soft night lighting for added comfort.

The newly built laundry is equipped with a washing machine, dryer, iron, ironing board, indoor drying rail, and outdoor clothesline - making longer stays easy and effortless.
