10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property in a fabulous location. We loved the Head Keeper’s cottage; the older style, high ceilings, tasteful decor and comprehensive amenities. It was wonderful that breakfast items were provided - the eggs were delicious! The property was very comfortable and homely, we only wish we were staying more than one night!

Caretaker Cottage at the lighthouse

It's an amazing property with breath taking views. Rob and his wife took great care of us during our stay and made it memorable. The kitchen is well equipped and the place is spacious and well appointed.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very unique property as it is an older caretaker cottage for the lighthouse at Cape Nelson. That being said, the hiking trails around are amazing and the views are spectacular, you are quite literally steps from an ocean overlook. It is a bit far from town and services but if you plan ahead there is a BBQ and complete cooking facilities to do on your own. The property is older but overall very well kept and at night it is SO quiet. The TV is older and did not have an antenna hooked up, something was wrong with the connection but hopefully easily fixed. There is a DVD player with a library of choices. Overall - very fun place to stay !

Our stay at the Cape Nelson Lighthouse Cottage was excellent! The facilities were top-notch, and the location was absolutely beautiful, with easy access to stunning walking tracks. We loved watching kangaroos and wallabies right outside the cottage — such a unique experience. Breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to each day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.
Pamela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely location with wonderful views. Handy also to Portland and Cape Bridgewater. It was very special staying in a former Assistant Lighthouse Keeper's house. The standard of accommodation was fine but not five star. Breakfast goodies were welcome. Our host did his absolute best to sort a television reception problem at the start of our stay, even smoothing the way with a bottle of bubbly!
