A unique location and property. So very special. Comfortable accommodation, lovely DIY breakfast, and a guided tour up the lighthouse in the morning. Wallabies outside the property were charming. The highlight of our 3 week trip around Oz.

AustraliaThe location was stunning, the after hours access to the grounds, the accommodation itself was lovely. The information around the sites was interesting and useful. We were able to go up the lighthouse on our last day, on which the site was closed to the public, so there were a lot less people around.
