Pachena Point Lighthouse Tours and Activities

Our room was stunning, with wood panelling from floor to ceiling. It was very spacious, and the bathroom had a clawfoot soaker tub and separate ultramodern shower. Although we were in a 19th century farmhouse, it was very thoughtfully renovated, complete with central AC, which was a nice touch. The continental breakfast was fairly simple but decent, with many healthy options such as fresh fruit and vegetables, yogurt, bread, cheese, and yogurt. The chandelier lighting in the bedroom was very dim, which made it hard to see in the evenings. While the bedside lamps were extremely bright, they didn't make up for the dim surroundings. Also, it would be good to leave a small bottle of milk and plant milk in the shared fridge once breakfast is over so that guests can add that to their tea or coffee during the rest of the day or evening. Apart from that, we had a wonderful stay. It was very quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back again in the future.

Amazing location and incredible views! Property was very clean and well-maintained. Staff were very helpful!

The property is gorgeous and in the best central inner harbour location. Service was exemplary and the staff was as attentive and wonderful as one would expect from such a storied lodging. We attended afternoon tea one day and it was also marvelous, delicious and lovely. We had a king room with "city" view - mostly because we couldn't remotely afford anything with a harbour view, as we were there on a weekend in peak season, mid July. In our case, the room was on the first floor and the "city" view was in reality a view of the other outside walls of the building, roof equipment, etc. Two complaints about the washroom in the room. First, a rain style shower head shouldn't be the ONLY shower head. The glass half-enclosure was odd, and made it difficult to actually turn the shower on without standing in the tub and trying to dodge the initial cold water output. Second, the toilet tissue was so far back and under the sink countertop that it made actually dispensing the tissue awkward and difficult. The bed was very comfy and the A/C worked very well. Our HUGE complaint about our stay was the fire alarm that went off after midnight on our first night. The entire hotel evacuated in a very poorly run and badly routed event that if real, would likely have resulted in injuries and worse. There was zero information offered or provided about what happened and zero was done to offer ANY kind of compensation to hotel guests for this. So, our experience was certainly mixed.
