“Staying at Cape Otway Lightstation feels like securing a piece of quiet history, especially after the day visitors depart. The accommodation itself, often set within the historic precinct, proves surprisingly comfortable, with notable attention paid to cozy beds and locally sourced breakfast provisions. It's a genuine retreat where the stunning coastal scenery and abundant wildlife are as much a part of the experience as the lighthouse itself.”
