Overall Ratings & Reviews Low Head Pilot Station

Great place to stay clean and spacious

The property was very comfortable.. only lacking washing facilities in the accommodation. Would recommend it.

Historic building on large land adjoining mouth of river. Opportunities to take leisurely walks, go on Penguin Night Tour, fishing, dipping feet in water and relax. Communication via email. Key pick up and drop off via a key box. Guests to wash dishes and empty bin before leaving. Comfortable enough stay, four separate rooms which are very soundproof with the thick walls, the temperature inside was cool during the day and warm at night, which was perfect, the mattress was firm. A few small maintenance issues- Kitchen tap needs tightening under sink, flaking paint or surfaces were painted over uneven/flaking paint, brown water stains along and under window and on heater in bathroom, cracked counter top behind hot plate, chipped laminate top on kitchen table. The conservation of these historic buildings deserve to be treated with loving care to honour their historic integrity, they also deserve considered interior fixtures, fittings and design that embraces and enhances their beauty.

Spending a couple of days in a historic cottage was fantastic, the modern inclusions a bonus. We stayed in one of the Boatman’s cottages constructed in 1860 which features a separate bedroom, lounge, dining room/kitchen and bathroom, the gas fire in the lounge kept us toasty warm as did the wall heaters in bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. The whole precinct was a joy to stay in as was the surrounding village of Low Head. The on site cafe had very good meals. We loved the ability to order a heat and serve pre-prepared meal which was waiting in the cottage for us, we ordered the Moroccan Lamb Tagine which was succulent and delicious. Would definitely stay again.

We have wanted to stay here for some time and it didn’t disappoint. The cottage was excellent all bar the couch was uncomfortable but this was a small inconvenience. The setting was fabulous.

Low Head was a great place to stay. The place was immaculate and the location was wonderful, loved the penguins

Beautiful Queenslander with amazing history and sweeping views. Anita was fabulous to deal with.

We absolutely loved how different and unusual staying at a light house was. The wildlife were gorgeous and having the beach right at our backdoor was awesome. Anita was easy to contact at all times. I have already been asked by a few people how they can stay there. Thanks for an amazing 3 days. Krissy,Nat and Julie!

Fantastic place to stat great views great experience we'll be back

Each cottage was unique. Clean, tidy, & filled with normal household/kitchen items. Close to penguin parade, nice walking/riding tracks. Would have loved to try cafe out a few more times, but closed on Tuesday/Wednesday. This is not a criticism, just bad timing on our part.

A beautiful location in an historic building, close to a penguin colony. We loved it!

Spent two nights in the‘Boatman West’ cottage, during our trip around Tasmania. The accommodation is rustic but quite comfortable. This cottage boasts a free standing bath which is wonderful. We were able to cook in the well stocked kitchen. The area is quiet and perfect for walks and bike rides. There is a coffee shop/cafe on the site, and also a maritime museum. Georgetown is only a 10 minute drive away where you can get supplies. There is no laundry on site (which was indicated in the accommodation information). Low Head lighthouse is around a 1km walk and very worth a look

The heritage boatman's cottage was beautifully appointed with modern kitchen and bathroom facilities, heating in all rooms and a very comfortable queen bed. Surrounded by the lawns of the historic pilot station and just a few steps from the cafe, museum and Pilots Bay, we enjoyed a very relaxing and cosy stay.

Views are amazing. Quiet and very relaxing. House very spacious.

Dirty carpet and floors, otherwise fine. Lovely outlook and quiet location

Magnificent view from the sunroom. The house is now very dated and requires maintenance, the large number of stains on the carpeted areas is not a good look. Installing a dishwasher wouldn't go astray, asking the guests to wash up the crockery when you are charging $300 a night is a bit rich. Providing 1 and a half toilet rolls for 7 people is unacceptable and smacks of penny pinching.

A big surprise for my kids to stay as a lighthouse keeper. Amazing views for sure and finding penguins in the yard is a bonus. Room is clean and tidy and equipped with everything we need. We will stay absolutely stay again if we are lucky enough.

Unique location, windswept and handy for seeing the penguins but a bit remote to other attractions and amenities

Husband and I stayed there only one night and would have loved to have stayed for a few nights at least. Area is very interesting and historical. Home we stayed in was well fitted and extremely comfortable and clean. Key collection after hours was easy. Museum was fascinating. We intend returning for a longer visit.

Very relaxing - both the accommodation and surrounding area and interesting museum
