Lawn mowing and garden care in Minnamurra.
Practical lawn and garden maintenance for the cottages, holiday homes and riverside properties that make up Minnamurra.
Local to Minnamurra
A village built around the river.
Minnamurra is one of the smaller, more established parts of the round — a village built around the Minnamurra River and beach, with a good number of older cottages alongside holiday and weekender homes. Blocks here tend to be smaller and more established than the newer estates further along the coast.
A lot of Minnamurra properties aren't lived in full-time, which changes what a good service actually looks like: a lawn that's kept consistently tidy between visits matters more than a one-off tidy-up, especially for owners who only see the property every few weeks.
The village sits right next to Kiama, so it fits easily into the same local round without the scheduling constraints that apply to the towns further out.

Common questions
Minnamurra FAQs
Holiday & occasional-use homes
Can you keep a holiday home presentable if we're only here occasionally?
Yes — this is a big part of what Minnamurra work looks like. A recurring schedule keeps the lawn and garden looking cared for between stays, rather than needing a big tidy-up every time you arrive.
Can you coordinate with a caretaker or neighbour who checks the property?
Yes, if that's how the property is currently managed. Enquiries and scheduling can go through whoever normally looks after things when the owner isn't around.
Do you offer a tidy-up before we arrive for a visit?
Yes — if you can give a few days' notice of an upcoming stay, a visit can be timed so the lawn and garden are freshly done when you get there, rather than falling on the usual fortnightly schedule regardless of when you're coming.
Cottage gardens
Do you work on smaller cottage-style gardens?
Yes. Minnamurra's older cottage blocks are usually smaller and more established than newer estate homes, and the work is scoped and quoted around the actual garden rather than a generic block-size rate.
How often does a Minnamurra property need mowing?
Fortnightly through the warmer months and roughly monthly over winter is typical, the same seasonal pattern as the rest of the area — though for a holiday home visited less often, a schedule can be built around when the property actually needs to look its best.
Do smaller blocks cost less to maintain?
Generally yes, since block size is one of the main things that drives the quote — but an established cottage garden with a lot of planting can still take real time to weed and tidy properly, even on a small footprint.
Booking & payment
How far ahead do I need to book a Minnamurra visit?
For a one-off tidy-up before a stay, a few days' notice is usually enough. For an ongoing recurring schedule, there's no lead time needed — it just gets set up once and repeats from there.
How do I pay if I'm not local or I'm interstate?
Payment doesn't require being on site — it's confirmed when the quote is set up, and the team can talk you through what suits an owner who isn't in Minnamurra day to day.
Can I set up a standing recurring booking and forget about it?
Yes, that's exactly how most Minnamurra holiday and weekender properties are handled — a schedule is agreed once, and it just continues until you need to change or pause it.
