Guesthouse Cape Otway Lightstation

Otway Lighthouse Road, 3233 Cape Otway, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Cape Otway Lightstation – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

A beautiful location close to the cliffs at the Cape Otway Lighthouse. Warm log fire, tasteful furniture and a well-maintained, clean space.

Gary, Australia

We 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.

Nazia, Australia

Loved the lodge. Very clean, spacious. I really loved the kitchen and all the utensils!. All we had to do was only to buy the raw materials. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. We really felt welcome there. And the cafe serves very nice hot chocolate that our kids loved so much. Couscous was wonderful. And of course we just fell deeply in love with the surrounding. We saw many kangaroos, koalas, many kinds of birds. A great place to educate our children about what Australia is all about :) And the lighthouse is just majestic..

Riri, Indonesia

Staying at the remote, isolated Otway Lighthouse is not just another ordinary travel accommodation. It's a venture into History, an encounter with lives of people of a bygone era. The accommodations are in the antique quarters of the lightkeepers and their familes. During the day, the grounds of the lighthouse swarm with tourists, but once the gates at closed at 5:00 pm, the few time-travelers who occupy those quarters are ALONE with the winds and the grasses. There's a cafe serving drinks and a few meals during the day, but at night one must plan his/her tucker just as a rough hiker would. The cafe can prepare meals in advance, on special order, to be stashed in the rooms. Otherwise, you will eat only what you carried from the outside world. We shared the whole compound and the sea below it with just one couple, who stayed out of sight. The loneliness was exhilarating.

Robert, United States of America

The location is beautiful and having the whole area to yourself after it closes is pretty special. The staff was very friendly, especially the staff in the cafe -- they were really great.

Jeff, United States of America

Loved color and decor in the studio. Loved also the lighthouse b&b. Breakfast was delicious. Tula was fabulous.

Erika, Australia

great place to be right next to the light station and in the park

Gregory, United States of America

really a great location besides the otway lightstation, and the breakfast is good.

Chenmin, China

I liked the remoteness and quietness of the property.

Sally, United Kingdom

It is very atmospheric and a unique experience, staying at such a historic Lightstation on the ‘shipwreck’ coast.

“An enjoyable stay for 1 night if interested in Lightstation but too far from Great Ocean Rd touring”

There is no kitchenette or kitchen sink in the 2 Bedroom suite of the Main Lightkeepers house. So you have to get kettle/drinking water out of the bathroom sink and can’t wash cups or anything. The Bathroom should also have a shower screen or at least a rail + curtain so shower water doesn’t go all over the floor. A bit overpriced for the price (c$310 a night), and much further from local attractions than we were told when calling to make inquiries ( at least an hour and half drive from 12 Apostles and an hour from Otway Fly Ziplinimg).
It is very atmospheric and a unique experience, staying at such a historic Lightstation on the ‘shipwreck’ coast.

Forgot to pack my hairdryer and there wasn't one in the property. Didn't check with reception so they may have provided one if I'd remembered to ask.
Stunning location. Comfortable accommodation in a historic building. The Cape Otway Lighthouse and surrounding buildings were very interesting and I learnt a lot about their history.

These are only small things - our booking was for 2 nights, but the continental breakfast supplies in the studio really were only for one morning. Would have been easy to supply a bit more milk for example, which would have been a nice touch, plus more than one banana and one orange between two people. Continental breakfast supplies to last for the duration of booking would have been appreciated, and could easily be done.
Incredible private location with views over historic lighthouse and Bass Strait. Cosy, comfortable and well-appointed studio accommodation with nice design, sympathetic to location and setting.
