Cape Nelson Lighthouse

Detailed instructions and excellent reception at the MAC hotel by Brendan. House was well stocked and extremely comfortable. Actually fire places which was not required in November considering the in room heating system. Bed and toilets comfortable and well stocked book shelves. View of the lighthouse from night was stunning and you can see so many stars. Will repeat. WiFi was not stable and some cell networks can not be connected.

We stayed at Cottage 3, I was pleasantly surprised with how fastidiously clean this accomodation is, new and up to date fittings and fixtures and with all its well thought out amenities, recreation (books,games,dvds), bathroom accessories, breakfast commodities - coffee machine, eggs,bacon,jams,butter,milk etc. You could bring your own food and cook easily. We would certainly stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending these cottages to family and friends.

There’s a few cottages to choose from and this is a place for peace & quiet . Be extremely careful when you drive as there so many wallabies & Echidnas. The rooms are clean and kitchen well equipped. A very accommodative host. There are many wind turbines around too. Did not bother us but thought will mention that too

Great location of course but pay attention, very remote and therefore 3_4_5G does not work. No phone. Great bed, big bathrooms, big tv, good heating and cooling although the house smelled like burned wood all the time. Spa at the terrace (not sure it works, didn’t try it because of the presence of thousands of mousquito’s outside). Kitchen good and everything is there. Food for breakfast, coffee, cutlery, cooking stuff (not the food). Had to go and get keys in town and then drive 8km to house and back because the wifi code to get in did not work. The house itself is dirty, lots of flies inside and the house and windows could get a good clean. I would have given it a 4-star but, the wifi did not work (and they kwew) and therefore I found myself into a remote house, 20 minutes from the centre, without phone, internet or any other way to contact somebody in case of emergency. That is simply dangereous and unacceptable, especially because the owners knew about it. Could be a great location, but really needs a good clean and stable internet-connection

Lovely quiet cottage perched near a working lighthouse 15 mins drive from Portland . We stayed in the Caretakers cottage which is a little more modest than the others I think but still nicely renovated . However there is no fireplaces or a bath , which didn’t bother us at all . The cottage was absolutely clean , well appointed and comfortable with great beds and lots of towels . Every amenity is here including a laundry and dishwasher- not that we needed it as we ate in town . The walks from here are just wonderful and there are many other nature walks around the area too. I would just have 2 tiny suggestions -1. Lots of bacon was left in the fridge for our breakfast but we are vegetarian so that’s a bit wasteful ( maybe ask people ?) and 2. Please clean the window sills . When you open the windows there are loads of dead flies and dirt there which blow in . Other than that .. all great !

The Sunset Cottage is worth 10 stars if there was such a rating. The inside is immaculate with all new fixtures meshed into the original lighthouse keeper’s cottage. Just perfect and combined with a short walk to the walking lighthouse for some memorable photos. The breakfast provided is ample and fresh and was thoroughly enjoyed. Perfect for two couples or a small family. Washing facilities are all new and tucked away out of sight. Did not have to use the original fireplace but it was ready to go. Be back for sure.
