The lighthouse on Gabo Island guards the eastern entrance to Bass Strait in #Australia. It is an active navigation lighthouse and weather station for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
It was built in 1853 from red granite sourced on the island. The wind blew down the windbreak wall, so buttresses were added for stability.
We went to the top for perfect 360 degree views on a blue sky day.
Access to the island is generally by boat and one can stay overnight!

"The location is right in the main street (but it's very quiet). The layout of the property is is very nice. There are stairs for access so not accessible. Very clean."

"Property was spotless, extremely comfortable and the bed was so comfy as well. Close to everything and great value for money."

"This place was great for us, somewhere to relax after a day exploring and fishing. If you need a modest little beach shack with a very comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, good kitchen facilities, all in a quiet location then this is it. Kangaroos hang out in the yard all the time, just lounging in the sun with us and the dog. A very chilled out vibe."

5/5 Excellent

relaxing stay

"Great accommodation. Had everything you needed plus more. Short walk to the water and walking path. Had to contact property manager for the address and how to access the property. She was very helpful as Stayz did not correspond very well at all...disappointing on their behalf"
