“Beautiful place, beautifully maintained, unique/spectacular location, great service from hosts”
Lack of Wifi, we had no internet connection for the duration of our stay which was a bit stressful given we were away from our toddler for the first time.

Beautifully restored heritage building in a seemingly remote location by the Cape Nelson lighthouse but only 15 mins from Portland. The views were spectacular from the lighthouse and there were walking trails directly outside. Isabella's Cafe was also at the location and offered a limited menu including very tasty vegetarian and meat lasagne my husband and I had for dinner one night (made takeaway for us before they closed that afternoon). There was a full compact kitchen if you wanted to prepare your own meals and included a pod coffee machine with milk crema. This was the perfect place for a romantic getaway with a cosy sitting room with gas fireplace and plenty of heating options for the remaining rooms as well as blankets for snuggling up on the couch.

“Beautiful, peaceful and amazing experience.”
Beautiful Cottage - was a step back in time but with all the modern amenities. Amazing view of the lighthouse and walks. Kangaroos relaxing on the front lawn. It was a wonderful experience- could have stayed a week.

“Over all a very pleasant stay.”
The property was exactly as described and were as we had viewed in the photographs. A remote location with beautiful coastal views to explore, though the best view from this particular accommodation is when standing in the shower.

“Luxury with a sense of history”
My daughter and two grandchildren loved the history, the beautiful renovation and presentation of Sunset and Sunrise cottages. While now well-equipped and comfortable, it is possible to step back in time to imagine the difficulties and pleasures of lighthouse life in earlier times in what would have been quite an isolated location..

Cape Nelson lighthouse was such a cozy way to finish off our camping trip! It was in a beautiful location, the house was very well kept, clean and tidy and the owners even left bacon and eggs in the fridge for us for breakfast
