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.
This was a beautiful location, isolated, quiet and with nature all around. Yje sunset and sunrise were amazing. All facilities were excellent and we hope to stay again.
This is an awesome property, beautiful views and close enough to Portland for eating options and shops. The head lighthouse keepers cottage has a spa which we didn't realise so that was a nice suprise!
Everything about this place is beautiful! Stunning scenery, amazing accommodation, clean spacious, well serviced with comfortable beds. The included breakfast was a lovely bonus.

Such a lovely place to visit and stay at. History and nature in a package.
Super support from the staff! All was as expected and more.
Clean, equipment and safe.
It was a cold and windy day. We got there late and couldn’t figure out the heat but contacted the staff an do he helped us out quickly.
There were two big kangaroo in the yard in the morning. It was fun to watch them. It was nice to be able to use the laundry. We had a great stay but for the weather.
Unexpectedly blown away. Did not expect this level of quality, style or comfort in this location. Well appointed and gorgeous. Bonus points for the kangaroos that came to graze at dusk.
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.
Beautiful serene setting in historic cottage. Great sunrises and sunsets and walks. Well provisioned for breakfast and self cooking. Luxurious bathroom!
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.
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!
Beautiful restoration work of a lovely old building. So peaceful, no traffic noises. Visiting kangaroos didn’t make any noise. Pity didn’t get the chance to have a tour of the lighthouse, but that was due to our time constraints. Excellent short stay. 🙂
