    Everything about the room was perfect, only thing we didn't like was we had been looking forward to scones at the cafe and were disappointed it was unexpectedly closed while we were there.

    Stunning location, incredible view of the lighthouse day and night (even from the bathroom!) with beautiful view of sunset and sunrise visible after a short stroll from the accommodation. The studio itself is adorable; the furnishings are on point, bed is super comfy and a plentiful continental breakfast is provided. Internet worked fine and the studio had Telstra phone service as well. This has been the highlight accommodation of our trip so far!

    It was not the best space for 2 couples since one bedroom doubled as the kitchen area. Better for a family.

    Stunning location - ruggedly beautiful. It was cozy and comfortable. The red hot water bottles for warming the beds were a fun touch. The breakfast provisions were delicious - especially the jam. And the scones at the cafe next door!! Amazing.

    It was a fantastic experience staying at the lightstation for the night. Everything was lovely and thoughtful and lovely local coffee and jam left for breakfast. Seeing the lighthouse lit up at night time was amazing.

    We liked everything about it.

    The location was excellent. After the public left the site, we and the other few guests had the place to our selves. So we explored to our hearts content.

    Was all good, boys would habe liked internet.and TV, but they survived and there is phone reception in certain places, surprisingly good actually.

    Have been wanting to stay next to a light house for a long time, so it was a dream come true. it's a truly special location and so peaceful. Koalas in the trees on the road in and Wallabies at dusk and dawn. Amazing sunset. Peaceful night. truly special place.

    There should be a hair dryer supplied. The room is quite dark.

    Fabulous continental breakfast with top quality local produce, and real coffee and coffee plunger! The room is quite small, but the small landing is great for eating on in good weather. Loved the decor, including the oar on the landing wall. It was full of nice touches, such as the reading materials, coloured pencils and paper, small DVD collection, historic framed photographs on the walls. The kitchenette was fully equipped with knives, forks, spoons, plates, bowls, mugs, cups, glasses and wine wine glasses.

    Location is amazing. If you like walking, the Great Ocean Road Trail is breathtaking, secluded beaches, and the fact that we had most of the beaches we went to by ourselves is a great feeling. We were lucky that the weather was the best we have seen all year, blue sky, not a cloud to be seen, 24deg and just amazing sunrise and even better sunsets from the lighthouse. The Lighthouse Keepers Cottage had a full kitchen so we fed ourselves when we wanted to, no TV and limited internet via the phone, so we talked to each other, what else to do :- ). The Cape Cafe is a nice place for scones and jam, cakes and a selection drinks. Staff were just the best, so warm and friendly! When the Park closes at 5 and the day visitors leave, the place is so quiet and the local wildlife comes out. We will be back again next summer to kick off where we left this one.

    There is no wifi or TV stations, which is fine. And part of the charm. However, a lot of the DVDs provided just don't work. They really need a refresh. Also, there is only a microwave to cook and closest restaurants 30km away....I think a little electric frypan would be useful ...we ate out at lunch and had dips and cheese for dinner so it was fine but people just need to be aware you can't really cook much. We couldn't access the Lighthouse this time due to a mercury spill months ago....I feel this should have been disclosed upfront given the price we paid.

    We have been before but stayed in a different room this time. We love the remoteness, the quiet, and just relaxing with the amazing view at sunset with no one around. The Lighthouse B & B room was very spacious and comfortable. However, this place may not be for everyone as it is at least 30km drive to nearest town and not an easy drive at night if you wanted to go out.

    My B&B was maybe missing a proper kitchen but it's a detail because there is the lighthouse café which is great

    Really nice stay here, the view was gorgeous at sunset. The accommodation are great, lots of space and super clean. Which is really fantastic is once the park is close for public you basically have the entire park surrounding the lighthouse just for yourself

    Only had a microwave to cook and no shops/restaurants but was aware of this so brought our own provisions On the plus side a small breakfast was provided.

    The fact that it was a historical place. Had a talk delivered about the lighthouse and how hard to work and live there in the 1840's We stayed in small cottage with a little deck that was built for lighthouse assistants. Loved the history,the solitude and the wildlife
