Great location Friendly Staff Historic Atmosphere. Great for family gathering with interesting walks and scenery for all ages. Plenty of space.
AustraliaThis place is absolutely beautiful!! The people here were very friendly and kind and made our stay very lovely. The property is very well maintained and offers stunning views. We would highly suggest this location to anyone who is looking for a relaxing escape with a hint of adventure!! 10/10!
United States of AmericaI didn’t realize how remote the lighthouse was from the nearest town. Eating out is not a good option so be sure to bring food for dinner. Breakfast is no problem as the Lighthouse Cafe is full of scrumptious items for breakfast and great WiFi service too! After a self-guided tour, there is plenty of time to relax and have a bit of reading. Very peaceful there and fascinating history. Read all of the plaques!
United States of AmericaUnique historical building, helpful and friendly staff. Once the grounds close and the staff goes home you pretty much have the entire property to yourself from 5pm to 9am.
United States of AmericaAmazing location right next to the Lighthouse. You can walk the grounds after hours. We saw a few kangaroos and even whales in the distance. Rooms are in old heritage buildings. Our room had a fireplace, convenient given the outside cold. Koala spotting on the road leading to the Lighthouse. Unique location.

AustraliaWaking up to a rainbow over the lighthouse was beautiful.
AustraliaA beautiful location close to the cliffs at the Cape Otway Lighthouse. Warm log fire, tasteful furniture and a well-maintained, clean space.
AustraliaWe stayed in the Lightkeepers B&B accomm and it was quite spacious for the two of us and will comfortably house 4-6 people. Location is stunning, we had the lighthouse in our window view and the starry sky at night was spectacular as well as sunrise. We also came across a few wallabies onsite and a few native birds. Instructions are clear - the location is quite remote so make sure to bring your own food if coming after the cafe closes and be careful driving at dusk or in the dark, we had a couple of rabbits dash in front of our car at night.
AustraliaAmazing views of the lighthouse and sea from cottage 2. Comfortable bed. Warm and cosy with historic feel to it.
