Absolutely lovely place to stay. We didn’t meet the hosts as they were away, but Christine stood in for them and did a wonderful job.
We had a four poster traditional room that ooozed elegance. in the morning, we were treated to a delicious hot cooked meal, or cereal, or fruit and all this was sat on the deck overlooking the beach,
There isn’t a great deal to do locally other than admire the views and go for a swim on the beach, which we did and had it all to ourselves. We went for dinner in town, thought we were in a restaurant, but we were in a hotel bar - nice enough though.

An amazing, unique place to stay if you fancy a change, yes it is a little pricey for one/ two nights, BUT you wont get more stunning views or better hospitality.
Highly recommended

After seeing this place reviewed on a travel TV program I was sold! The location is spectacular, with stunning views up and down the beautiful coast line. The lighthouse is located within a National Park as well, so is surrounded by bushland and down the (steep) path is a great little BBQ area. The rooms were basic but well kept and clean. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and advised us on a great place to dine in the town (it was called Geppy's). There is a nice walk throught the bush down to the nearby beach which we had to ourselves! (As its an unpatrolled beach caution should be taken swimming there!) I loved staying at this place and would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to that part of NSW.

This gem is divided into three sections, a B&B- the "lighthouse keeper's cottage" and two self contained units the "assistant lighthouse keeper's" and "visiting officer's" cottage.
We stayed with family in one of the self contained cottages for the weekend for a wedding held at the lighthouse. It was just beautiful. We have stayed in South West Rocks plenty of times but this was the first time we'd been out to the lighthouse, and definitly won't be the last.
The first thing that hits you on arrival is the view- set high up on the point overlooking deserted beaches on either side, the spectacular white lighthouse stands out against the bright blue sky.
The cottages are heritage buildings, beautiful hardwood floors, original fireplaces etc but have all the mod cons- tv, dvd, microwave, dryer and bbq. Two bedrooms- one queen bed and three singles, separate lounge and dining but best was the large balcony surrounding the cottage overlooking the ocean.
The wedding we attended was held in the yard of the B&B with the spectacular back drop of the beach and ocean, the reception was then held at the cottages.
The next morning we woke to find kangaroos grazing in the yard of the cottage.
The owners of the B&B also run the cottages and were wonderful during our stay, friendly and helpful but also respected our privacy.
The cottages were perfect, they were an ideal place for a large group with children but would also be great for couples- very romantic.
We can't wait to go back.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks travelling up the Eastern Coast of Australia, and by accident found the Smoky Cape Lighthouse. It is some distance from the nearest town, and we even met a couple of kangaroos on the road to the lighthouse!

This became one of the most memorable stays of our holiday. The owners of the B&B are incredibly hospitable and kind, allowing guests to use their kitchen and BBQ facilities. The 3 course breakfast the next morning was definately one of the best we had our entire 6 week trip around the world. The room we stayed in was lovely, with a four poster bed. But the real highlight was being able to walk the short distance up to the lighthouse late at night, and watch the beam from the lighthouse going out to sea. The view at night of the stars and sea was nearly matched the next morning, by the stunning coastline.

Overall a really individual, beautifully maintained property, made even more special by an incomparable location and wonderfully hospitable hosts.
