I went to Cape Nelson Lighthouse, and the lighthouse is beautiful! The views of the ocean and cliff-tops were stunning 😍 too!! There's a walking trail as well, which is amazing and covers a lot of ground and cliff tops. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because the toilets were locked and unavailable. Definitely recommend checking the lighthouse out. If you haven't, great history information available too.

This place deserves a 5 ⭐ but sadly all its buildings were closed so it didn’t quite get my full scores, that said it is an incredible light house set amongst a fabulous back drop of the most rugged rocks with the most amazing waves crashing over them… I could have sat there all day watching them ! Be sure to walk behind the lighthouse and step beyond the enclosure onto the cliff top walk for the best views - do NOT take young children out there though !

We decided to take it easy today so visiting another lighthouse was in order. Lots of lovely-looking buildings with beautiful scenery and old-style volcano fossils were worth the drive. Pity about wind farms spoiling the East Coast everywhere.

We stumbled on to this precious stay and were so enchanted by the location and room that we stayed an extra night changing our plans to do so. Quiet, serene and beautiful historic accommodation and wallabies in the yard. We spend the day on a great hike and relaxing. Highly recommend.

Stayed in the caretaker's cottage. Very comfortable and relaxing space with the most magnificent scenery.

Stayed two nights with my husband and 4 month old baby. The cottage was so spacious and well appointed. We loved the outdoor spa and bath, and the sunroom was the perfect spot for a cheeky wine (or two).|Was so nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city!

Beautiful sunset! I only went for sunset photographs. Not sure about anything else but the sunset is a five star!

We are back again to these wonderful cottages adjacent to the Cape Nelson Lighthouse, a short drive from the town of Portland. The booking process is really simple with instructions to pickup keys and entry passcode. Our cottage this time was the Sunrise Cottage which is beautifully appointed with all the modern conveniences. The breakfast in the fridge is ample with plenty of the cooking things needed. The view is spectacular and a must see. Great for a small family with plenty of enclosed spaces for the little ones. A real gem.
