This cottage was so lovely! A lot of the original charm with just the right amount of updates for comfort. Immaculately clean, and ingredients for a full breakfast. We checked in early and were impressed enough that we went back into town for groceries so that we could make and enjoy dinner there. Wish we could have stayed a week.

Fantastic place! We stayed in the Sunset Cottage for one night. The cottage is spacious, with two bedrooms, a lounge room featuring a fireplace (wood and matches provided), and very large kitchen equipped with modern cooking facilities. It was a truly unique experience. A full cook-it-yourself breakfast was provided, including fresh eggs, bacon, milk, and a selection of cereals. The staff were extremely accommodating and helped us recover an item we accidentally left behind.

Agree with the positive comments by many previous guests; a comfortable stay in a quiet and different environment. A few small things to note: we did not receive notification of the key and property access until we were already there, and had to ring the manager. Also the front door lock did not close on exiting so we had to use the back door. Also the heating was not working well in the main lounge room. But otherwise a pleasant stay. Recommended.

We stayed at this property just for one night, but we so wished we had longer here. Unfortunatley we arrived in the middle of a storm, but when we got in it was almost like a country cottage. There was a big open log fire in the living room and was very spacious throughout. The kitchen was full of accessories so you didn't have to go out and buy the odd salt or pepper or kitchen roll. There was a great selection of cerials and fresh eggs and bacon in the fridge for breakfast. This was like staying in a B&B without the host. We had a power cut while we were there, due to the storm which was quickly reset, but it didn't effect the experience. We did speak with the host on the phone who was very pleasent and accommodating. The next morning the sun was up and we walked around the outside of the light house which was about a two minute walk from the cottage. Parking to the property was right outside. This was the best experiance for a cottage we ever stayed in and the most equiped property. Thank you.

The idea of staying in the lighthouse cottages appealed. The Caretakers cottage was not as old as the others but suited us as a couple with just the one bedroom in use. Everything was there that you needed with the heater keeping the place cosy. Cereal, eggs, bacon etc were provided for breakfast. The TV reception was poor, maybe due to the wind and maybe this was keeping the animals away as we only saw one kangaroo and no wombats despite the copious poo ! Would have loved to stay another night.

We loved our 2 night stay in the Head Keeper’s cottage. Number 4. We felt very comfortable as soon as we walked through the door, and the breakfast provisions left were very welcome. It was very clean and we felt that all our needs were met. Walks at your doorstep, kangaroos visiting and lovely photo opportunities. We would not hesitate to recommend this property. The open fire was very cosy. We could have used a little more wood but we easily grabbed a bag from IGA to get through the second night. Overall, a lovely two days. Thankyou.
