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.
