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.
