Why Omega Schoolhouse
What makes Omega Schoolhouse so unique?
A beautifully restored piece of history
Originally built in 1860 as the Omega Retreat National School, this striking stone building has been sensitively renovated into a warm, character-rich holiday home. Omega Schoolhouse offers a rare opportunity to stay in a piece of living Australian heritage—where history and comfort intertwine.
Timeless charm, modern comfort
While the original bones of the schoolhouse remain—the Gothic stonework, the original layout, the soaring ceilings—every modern detail has been considered. High-quality furnishings, thoughtful touches, and contemporary amenities create a space that’s as luxurious as it is authentic.
Space to gather and connect
Omega Schoolhouse has been designed to welcome families and groups. With generous living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and private gardens, it’s ideal for those wanting to spend time together—whether it’s over a long shared meal, in the sun under the fig tree, or by the fire on a cool South Coast evening.
Location
Situated on the scenic coastal hills above Gerringong, Omega Schoolhouse offers breathtaking views and easy access to the best of the South Coast. You're just minutes from beaches, golf courses, wineries, and the charming villages of Berry and Kiama. It’s a place where history meets surf, wine, and hinterland walks.
Privacy and peace
Atmosphere that tells a story
A legacy of learning, now a haven for rest
Personal touch
Enjoy the entire home and grounds to yourself. Unlike busy hotels or shared accommodation, Omega Schoolhouse offers complete privacy. The only interruptions are the birds, the ocean breeze, and the occasional memory from the past echoing through the sandstone.
This is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to experience. Guests often say there's a unique feeling to Omega: the weight of history, the warmth of the restoration, and the calm of its natural setting. Whether you're a history lover, a design enthusiast, or simply looking for a retreat with soul, Omega Schoolhouse offers something truly memorable.
For over 80 years, this building shaped young lives. Today, it offers the perfect setting to unwind, reconnect, and create new memories with the people who matter most.
The owners have lived in the home and poured years into its restoration. They’ve preserved its spirit while adding every detail a guest could need. Their goal is simple: for your stay to feel thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely special.
