We spent four nights at Cape Borda staying in Flinders Light Lodge back in March. We loved it. We loved the landscape - the huge southern ocean skies and sea; we loved the history; the house was terrific and could have slept six of us easily. We did some interesting and enjoyable walks in the neighbourood and enjoyed seeing kangaroos,... More

We were looking forward to exploring the area and it didn't disappoint. So much history attached to the Lighthouse. I take my hat off to those early pioneers! We stayed 2 nights in the smaller house and it was very comfortable. In hindsight we should have stayed in different locations around the Island as it was a drive back to... More

Loved it! When we arrived it was wet and windy. The hut was like stepping back in time but was really comfy and cosy. This was a great place to curl up with a book and listen to the wind and rain. The amenities were very clean and it had everything we needed. Would have loved to spend another night... More

We stayed three nights in Flinders Light lodge. We were four adults and two nearly-adults. The accomm is very clean and well set up (maybe a nice sharp knife would be handy), the beds are comfy, the heater warm, the shower hot. It's a fantastic isolated location, but you still have all the comforts of home. We did some fantastic... More

We stayed overnight at Woodward Hut specifically to be at Cape Borda at sunset and weren't disappointed. On arrival we did the entertaining and informative tour of the lighthouse with Ranger Mick and also went on the coastal walk. As dusk approached so did all the kangaroos and wallabies. Sunset was superb. The little hut is basic but cute and... More

We stayed three days at Cape Borda Woodward Hut. We loved the place, the walks, the tour of the lighthouse and of course Woodward Hut which had all we needed. It does not include access to a shower but Mick the Ranger let us use one of the showers in another cabin which was very generous and much appreciated. The... More

Thanks to Mick for giving a personal tour of the lighthouse and the grounds. The light keeper's cottage is well equipped although somewhat haphazardly designed. Sharing it with mice was something we had got use to in Kangaroo Island before we got to Borda. One day and night is sufficient to see all. I only wish the road would be... More

We loved it at Cape Borda, the peacefulness, the wildlife, the surroundings made it a really lovely place to stay. The staff at the lighthouse were helpful and friendly and their knowledge added to our experience. As for the negatives, which were few - the road there is a bit rough in sections and the cabin could have been a... More

After ploughing through muddy roads and being engulfed in the sea mist, we were welcomed by Ranger Mick, an engaging and knowledgeable guide. Wildlife abounds and as the mist lifted we realised what a great location Cape Borda is. We stayed at the light keeper’s cottage which is large, comfortable and fully equipped. Don't miss Mick's tour, or the great... More

Great place, lots of roos, great walks (especially Ravine des Cassoars), and Mick telling us about the last real lighthouse in South Australia. Comfortable accommodation even when chilly More
