We arrived at the cottage after dark, and therefore couldn't really see much of our surroundings. The house had fairly basic furnishings, but very roomy and comfortable with every amenity necessary. Two large bedrooms with queen beds and I think four smaller bedrooms with single beds. Although, it was just my girlfriend and I on this trip, I could imagine... More

The facilities in the cottage are a little old but the place is roomy and comfortable and has everything you need, provided you bring in your own supplies. It is so peaceful and beautiful, however as a lighthouse cottage it is a long wat from anything. I would happily stop again, no tv but ipads solve that problem and games... More

The homely feel of the house which had everything we required. The helpfulness of the Ranger beyond our expectations. The fabulous views and our luck with calm and sunny weather made the experience wonderful.

We all enjoyed staying in this lovely lighthouse keeper's cottage on the rugged and beautiful Cape Willoughby. The 1920s cottage itself had a lovely, homely feel to it and is almost like going back a little in time in a very charming way. The comfy furnishings add to this as well and it was spotlessly clean. A good place to... More

We arrived in the evening and it is really like arriving at the end of the world. This was our 2nd heritage night on KI after Cape Borda. Again the size of the cottage is incredible and the price a bargain. The snake warning signs didn't ease my worries but at least my children started to believe me about the... More

A group of 8 friends stayed 3 nights recently at Seymour Cottage and the location was the highlight of our stay on Kangaroo Island! The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and its secluded location approximately 22 kms of dusty, incredibly corrugated dirt road was the ideal build up to the magnificent sight that greets you as you come over...

Seymour Cottage has room for a family of six, but there were only the two of us, so heaps of room to get lost in. Well-equipped, and with a modern bathroom, and all you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen. Games to play in the loungeroom. The only criticism is of the road into the cape. The... More

Dear Scott O, Many thanks for your compliments on the comforts of Seymour Cottage! As you say, Seymour Cottage has plenty of room for a large family and with Thomas Cottage next door Cape Willoughby even has the versatility to accommodate a small group. Although the Cape Willoughby Road is graded whenever the weather and resources permit there are times... More

Dear Cathy C, A lighthouse must be one of the few holiday locations where stormy weather is considered a bonus! It’s great to hear that you felt so comfortable in Thomas Cottage and we look forward to welcoming you and your friends back to Cape Willoughby. Thank you for your positive review! More

This was the first lighthouse accommodation of three on our visit to Kangaroo Island. The cottages maintain their period character and all have a similar layout. They are all well equipped for self-catering (but no TV). We stayed in Seymour cottage and it was particularly light and spacious. Telstra Next-G phone coverage and wireless internet is available if you have... More
