The Caretakers cottage was not as old as the others but suited us as a couple with just the one bedroom in use. Everything was there that you needed with the heater keeping the place cosy. Cereal, eggs, bacon etc were provided for breakfast. The TV reception was poor, maybe due to the wind and maybe this was keeping the animals away as we only saw one kangaroo and no wombats despite the copious poo ! Would have loved to stay another night. ##### Eve Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### June Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property in a fabulous location.

Number 4. We felt very comfortable as soon as we walked through the door, and the breakfast provisions left were very welcome. It was very clean and we felt that all our needs were met. Walks at your doorstep, kangaroos visiting and lovely photo opportunities. We would not hesitate to recommend this property. The open fire was very cosy. We could have used a little more wood but we easily grabbed a bag from IGA to get through the second night. Overall, a lovely two days. Thankyou. ##### Jean Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan B., Florida Feb 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Caretaker Cottage at the lighthouse It's an amazing property with breath taking views. Rob and his wife took great care of us during our stay and made it memorable. The kitchen is well equipped and the place is spacious and well appointed. ##### Dan B.

That being said, the hiking trails around are amazing and the views are spectacular, you are quite literally steps from an ocean overlook. It is a bit far from town and services but if you plan ahead there is a BBQ and complete cooking facilities to do on your own. The property is older but overall very well kept and at night it is SO quiet. The TV is older and did not have an antenna hooked up, something was wrong with the connection but hopefully easily fixed. There is a DVD player with a library of choices. Overall - very fun place to stay ! ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Steve Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernie May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful restoration work of a lovely old building. So peaceful, no traffic noises. Visiting kangaroos didn’t make any noise. Pity didn’t get the chance to have a tour of the lighthouse, but that was due to our time constraints. Excellent short stay. 🙂 ##### Bernie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at the Cape Nelson Lighthouse Cottage was excellent! The facilities were top-notch, and the location was absolutely beautiful, with easy access to stunning walking tracks. We loved watching kangaroos and wallabies right outside the cottage — such a unique experience. Breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to each day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. ##### Pamela Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsay Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Lovely location with wonderful views. Handy also to Portland and Cape Bridgewater. It was very special staying in a former Assistant Lighthouse Keeper's house. The standard of accommodation was fine but not five star. Breakfast goodies were welcome. Our host did his absolute best to sort a television reception problem at the start of our stay, even smoothing the way with a bottle of bubbly! ##### Lindsay Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holston House Nashville, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Holston-House-Nashville.h20366826.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurora Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangaring-Eystra-Hotels-Aurora-Lodge-Hotel.h23696101.Hotel-Information) > > [Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Moana-Surfrider.h15534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Winnipeg-South/Outlet Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Winnipeg-Southwest.h38338192.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Salt Spring Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Salt-Spring-Island-Cabins.d601381-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels.d4138.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Athens](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels.d178231.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Augusta Lucilla Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Augusta-Lucilla-Palace.h2046331.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Sault Ste Marie On](https://www.expedia.ca/Sault-Ste-Marie-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Sault-Ste-Marie-On.h920914.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d178245-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/yyc/thunder-bay-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Timehri (GEO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/geo/toronto-to-georgetown) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/fra/detroit-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/dfw/edmonton-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Yellowknife (YZF) to Inuvik (YEV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yzf/yev/yellowknife-to-inuvik) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Regina.d4053-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in St. Augustine](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-St-Augustine.d6047864.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Pukaskwa National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Pukaskwa-National-Park-Unorganized-Thunder-Bay-District.d6089431.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Turks and Caicos Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Turks-And-Caicos.d184.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Transfer Beach Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Transfer-Beach-Park-Ladysmith.d6193378.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/179995/Cancun) ### General > [Visit Valemount](https://www.expedia.ca/Valemount.dx6139230) > > [Visit Honey Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Honey-Harbour.dx181880) > > [Visit Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast.dx180064)
