Cape Schanck Lightstation B&B

Description

Make the historic Cape Schanck Lightstation your base whilst you discover the Mornington Peninsula.

On the lightstation grounds are two guesthouses which can be booked by individual room or as a whole. Maximum accommodation onsite is 16 persons. Both of these cottages have been residences of the Lighthouse Keepers. Breakfast is supplied to the cottages if required.

Things to Do

Day 1 After you have arrived and settled into your room, you might like to take the Boardwalk for breathtaking ocean views. Explore some of the secret places we have at Cape Schanck, or simply unwind with a glass of wine as you watch the sun disappear beyond the hills. You can have dinner whenever you like, because you have exclusive use of the grounds after the gate is closed to the public. You may choose to dine in, or try one of our many local restaurants.

Day 2 The following morning why not pack a bag with a picnic lunch and head off to Bushrangers Bay. While you are enjoying the tranquility of this special place you may see kangaroos hopping over the hills behind you, or as you sit by the water the Great Southern Right Whale just might surface to say hello along with the seals and dolphins.

Day 3 On your final day here, you might like to walk to Fingal Beach, again taking in some magical views. If you have enough energy left, you can also walk the cliff tops to Gunamatta Surf Beach. But we do not just have walks here. If you want something a bit different you can always go rock climbing or try out the surf fishing, or perhaps go diving or just for a snorkel. You just might discover the sunken submarine that lays on the bottom of the ocean at Cape Schanck.

Other Pleasures Mornington Peninsula has several world class golf courses to choose from, all within a short drive.
