A very unique experience

The property is iconic, beautifully restored and in an excellent location. We were part of a bigger group spread across three holiday rentals in Kingston. Not surprisingly everyone gravitated to the Lighthouse Keepers Cottage for shared meals & to take in the sunsets. A magic time had by all. Thank you 🙏

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.

Kingston perfection

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.
