The time we stayed in this location for 1 night in April 2012 we found it very spacious and clean, the accommodation was fantastic. The Views and the solitude was worth every penny. The people we met where all so very friendly. At sunset we went for a walk to take in the whole ambiance of this location and take... More

An idyllic setting in which to take time away from the 'real' world. The scenery is breath-taking, the wildlife is fascinating, and the peace and tranquility are priceless. Not to mention the staff who are friendly, helpful and obliging.

The cottages were very spacious and had ample beds and bedding. The views were amazing, enhanced by the tour of the lighthouse. We had... More

We stayed at all three lightkeeper’s cottages on Kangaroo Island managed by the National Parks and all were of a high standard and spotlessly clean. Cape Willoughby offers views back to the mainland and interesting walks on the Dudley Peninsula. In good weather Antechamber Bay is the place to be. If the weather kicks up a visit to the local...

We were going to be hosts to a couple of German friends, and during a brief trip to KI, we wanted to find accommodation in an environment that would be different, interesting, uniquely Australian, and comfortable. Our night in Seymour Cottage met all four of these criteria admirably ! We thought the house was beautifully restored, well-set up, and the... More

My partner and I stayed in Thomas Cottage at Cape Willoughby . The lighthouse was in our back yard! Had an amazing tour of the lighthouse, including standing on the balcony and looking out to sea, awesome! We walked the lighthouse keepers trail, saw beautiful ocean views and huge kangaroos sheltered amongst a grove of trees. There are 360 degree... More

We often stay at Seymore or Thomas cottages, it feels like home. The scenery is breathtaking and the isolation restful. The lighthouse station staff are the friendliest particularly Cameron who has brought a touch of Scotland to the area. Special thanks to previous staff such as Wren who we miss and brought heart and soul to the cottages. Still love... More
