Green Cape Lightstation Keepers' Cottages
Temporarily closure alert: The Green Cape Lightstation precinct, including the Green Cape Lightstation Keepers' Cottages, will be closed from 1 April – 31 October 2025. Carpark access will be available at Green Cape, with a walk down the boardwalk leading to the Green Cape lookout.
Perched on the edge of a peninsula, these three beautifully-restored cottages offer quality heritage accommodation with charming nautical decor.
Along with a fully-equipped kitchen and dining and lounge rooms, each cottage offers a comfortable veranda, ideal for enjoying the sea air and whale watching. You can take a guided tour of the light station and walk part of the Light to Light walk.
You'll find a paved path to the lookout at the tip of Green Cape. Stop to look for whales during season and for breathtaking views across Disaster Bay, the site of many shipwrecks. And keep an eye out for bandicoots, they're often seen nearby.
Experience the peaceful mornings and pounding seas from the comfortable isolation of the light station. Use it as a base to explore the area in and around Ben Boyd National Park, returning to the cosy cottages and a warm fire during the winter months. The coastal walking track is nearby, along with beaches and great spots to fish. Whales can be seen on their migratory route between late May and December.
