Beachfront cottage with ocean views - only 5 mins from shops and cafes

The space

Overlooking the serene Lacepede Bay in Kingston SE you get to turn the key in the lock of a very special cottage which will transport you back in time when the role of the lighthouse keepers was essential in safeguarding shipping.

Lovingly restored and passionately maintained, the house is a savvy blend of original spaces with chic touches of practical modernity. It’s gorgeous high ceilings and tasteful interior colours give every room a light airy feel. You feel awed by it’s timeless design but relaxed by the homely vibes inviting you to unpack the suitcase in your chosen room, to then congregate round the breakfast counter to sip on beverages as you all plan on how to enjoy your time.

Guest access

The space is entirely yours with a large front and back lawn area for the kids to play on, including front porch and back deck for alfresco dining.

Cozy cottage
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.
