Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse

Banks Cottage, absolutely beautiful. Perfect location and great facilities. Amazing views. Make sure you ask for the lighthouse tour.

What a special location with incredible views of the southern end of the Prom. I stayed at Banks Cottage which is private self contained accommodation at the lightstation and has everything you need - bedding, towels, tea/coffee, milk, shampoo/conditioner/soap and drinking water. All you need to bring other than hiking essentials is clothes, food and your toothbrush (you will also need to carry out all your rubbish). The bed was super comfy and everything was clean. The kitchen is fully kitted out. There's also a small drying room for your gear. There's a variety of books and a music player for old iPhone type devices with an AUX cable. You can watch the sunset from your kitchen table but you will probably want to be outside watching it with the resident wombats. All the Parks Vic staff were absolutely lovely to deal with, thank you Kelsey, Bailey and Marcus 😊

I work there so I'm a little bias. Banks cottage is a gorgeous private self contained accommodation with amazing sunset views and the shared cottages are amazing with full kitchen setups and cooking equipment as well as showers with hot water. Drinking water is provided when staffed on an external wall during daytime hours.

Hiked from Telegraph Saddle to the Lightstation via Waterloo bay. The Lightstation is an amazing place to rest and refresh before your return. Tips Book early, sometimes 3 to 4 months in advance. Try staying 2 nights, which is the max that can be booked. This is a very popular destination for a reason. Carry your sleeping bag, food and garbage bags. Otherwise the rooms are warm and comfortable. The kitchen has a gas cooktop with enough cutlery. There is a fresh water tap in close proximity outdoors. Toilets are clean and hot water is available for showers. Bailey from Parks Victoria is a very nice bloke. He is very friendly. He does the morning lighthouse tours at 830 am. The final climb to the Lightstation is very steep. Please be aware. Great views, and you will feel out of the world. There is no internet, so feel connected with nature. Check in before you start your hike at the Tidal River Parks Victoria office. You will be issued a permit. Highly recommended 👌

I stayed at the lighthouse for 2 nights with my wife and another couple, having walked in via Wataloo Bay. The accommodation was very comfortable with great views of the sunrise, the coast and resident wombats. There's a great little museum and heaps of folders with stories to read. The kitchen is well equipped, though it does need a cutting board. An enjoyable couple of nights in a remote location. We walked out via the Telegraph Track which is pretty easy along a bush road.

A beautiful and serene location. Well maintained and well stocked with basic amenities. Bailey the ranger was very helpful and informative. The trek is challenging but the views from here are breathtaking.

Excellent place for the stay! Cosy and well maintained cottage, coupled with amenities that made the stay comfy! Also the lovely sunrise!

A decent hike in but well worth it. The area has some rich history that is well displayed on numerous signage along the walk to the top. Shared dorm like accommodation is available that includes toilets, showers, a fridge, microwave and stove. If booking as a group be sure to book under the same name to ensure that you are grouped together. If walking out for a day trip there is toilets to use and clean drinking water. A great spot to enjoy the ocean views before continuing your trip.
