Lightstation Studio offered us a cozy little private accommodation in Great Otway National Park. It allowed us to get close to the nature and enjoyed the premium view of the lighthouse from our studio. Every features are same as stated on the website - simple kitchen inside a studio and not to expect a 5 stars hotel standard, but the studio has everything you need. We were well prepared and brought along cooking ingredients including oil, salt and pepper. Directions for after hours check-in are clear. Staff at cafe and front entry are friendly and helpful. We are with Telstra network and turned out that we had network coverage 90% of the time during our stay.
AustraliaGreat location and just a magic place to stay. We also ordered a meal from the cafe which was great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Just need to see the koalas next time!
AustraliaThe location was wonderful and the staff, in the main very helpful.
AustraliaThe location was amazing. At night it felt like we were the only people on earth.
AustraliaThis experience was something you shouldn’t miss if you are doing the Great Ocean road. The staff were so friendly, the accommodation was lovely we ordered from the cafe for our dinner and it was tasty. Lastly seeing the sunset from the most southern location was something I will never forget. This is an experience that will stay with our family for life.
AustraliaIt's worth paying a bit extra for the Studio room, as it is more secluded and has stunning views over the lighthouse, especially from the seating at the front. Plenty of cushions, throws etc. provided. The bed is very comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen (but be advised that you need to wash the dishes yourself). Ample continental breakfast provisions supplied. The granola and premium milk was very yummy, the sliced white bread not so much. The lounge area is compact but works very well. Make sure you attend the native plant and history talks, which are included in the price.
AustraliaLoved being able to walk outside and see the lighthouse. Such a wonderful breakfast provided as well, so we sat on picnic tables with the view of the lighthouse to eat our breakfast each day! Also lots of walks around the area (Lake Aire and back was 20K) and I loved how the room had everything we needed (kitchen had hot plates, all cutlery, a lot more utensils than the we expected)! Plus DVDs were a must at night when there wasn’t much to do :)
AustraliaFriendly staff,clean and spotless,comfortable beds/rooms, spatious kitchen/lounge,games room,loved the solitude when the LH area was closed evenings,friendly magpies at back porch
