Thank you for the perfect star rating! We aim to serve you the best we can and are glad we delivered. We are excited to have you back soon!
We had a fabulous family holiday at the Lighthouse. Comfortable, spacious and clean, the house is very well equipped and has everything you need for a great holiday. The quality of books on offer were outstanding and demonstrate great taste in reading matter by the owners ;) Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms plentiful. And if you are wanting to get some serious exercise then you can just walk up and down the street which is extremely steep!! If you walk up the street you can access Teddy's Lookout. Down the street will take you towards the beach and pier. Highly recommend this place!

Thank you for the recommendation and positive review! We are so pleased to know that you had a great time and we look forward to your next visit!
Great property but poorly maintained. The gas wasn’t checked so we couldn’t turn on the gas fire and needed to watch the hot water as it was mainly heated by gas. Also the tv in the guest room and overhead lights didn’t work. The light didn’t work over the bbq so we cooked in the dark. Just details that aren’t checked that add impact to the trip.
