Low Head Pilot Station Accommodation

We were very disappointed in this place. Firstly, i had to change the booking date and found it very difficult to make contact with the management. After several phone messages and emails, they finally replied and acknowledged the date change. ||||there was NO pre book in communication at all and it was just lucky that the kiosk manager was able to show me where to find the key to the cottage. ||And there was nobody on site when we left. ||||In the cottage itself we found it was not well equipped - there was no flat surface in the large bathroom to put our sponge bags. The TV remote and one electric blanket control were broken and there was no hanging space or mirros in the bedroom. Plus there was DEFINITELY NO WIFI in our cottage, despite login instructions being supplied. ||||Whilst we understand that the building is old and has a lot of character, we found it uncomfortable and not particularly inviting. Considering the cost of this accommodation I expected a much higher standard. ||||I definitely don't recommend.

A peaceful river front setting with historic colonial cottage accommodation in expansive well maintained grounds. Don't miss the museum.

As a history buff I was so excited to stay here only to be extremely disappointed. We stayed in Boatman West and glad it was only for one night. The accommodation has the potential to be amazing but completely misses the mark. Examples of this include a beautiful front courtyard that would have been lovely to send time in however the old broken dirty plastic outdoor table turned me off completely, the inside couch desperately needs replacing, the tv doesn’t have reception, there isn’t even individual toiletries instead there is large domestic bottles sitting on the shower floor which is unhygienic, the floors also needed a good clean . There isn’t even a deal done with the museum for guests staying onsite and are charged full admission. To make matters worse we were also somehow double charged which was quite confusing since the accommodation was prepaid in advance and then manually charged by staff again two days before the stay. This place could be really amazing but isn’t give the love, attention or respect it deserves.

We didn't stay here, but the accom looked really good. Definitely consider ot if we come back this way. It's a great place for a look around and the museum is really good. $5 for an adult ticket - great value and the older gents that 'work' there are good for a chat and some local info 😊 The coffee was good too.

This is a beautiful place. Extremely peaceful. The museum is very interesting, and has a wide range of subjects. Well worth the minimal entrance. The accommodation, was somewhat mixed. Reasonably comfortable, but in desperate need of some deep cleaning.

We had a lovely few days in Boatman’s East cottage. It was very well equipped with two bedrooms, lounge and separate dining room. The Pilots Station is a lovely historic site with a cafe and providore on site. |Dont miss the Penguin tour and visit the Maritime Museum . Would love to come back again for another visit.

Quiet, easy walking to amazing photographic areas. Suitable for families who could ride bicycles safely. A few minutes to the Penguin Tour, my third but definitely the best. Minutes also to East Beach which is stunningly beautiful.

Very interesting museum. Great hands on displays.
