Great presentation, location, and comfortable beds.
Unfortunately towels were thin and couches uncomfortable and although there was heating in the LR and bedrooms, it was very cold in the kitchen and bathrooms.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Light Keepers Cottage. We would definitely recommend visiting. It’s gorgeous, airy and light. In the middle of winter, the house was cosy and warm. It was the perfect getaway for a long weekend to explore SA’s south east. Also worth doing the light house tour just down the road. We had such a great time.
