    The most picturesque location, truly stunning. Quiet, peaceful, great little house with a fully decked out kitchen, plenty of towels, extra blankets, toiletries etc. Heater was great and we were never cold despite the weather getting down to 2-3 degrees.

    A very special opportunity to stay in heritage accommodation and location. The Boatcrew cottage was very roomy and comfortable. Thoughtful inclusions such as cooking oil and rice was appreciated. The museum on site was fantastic and the penguins nearby capped off a very special stay.

    We loved it......if you don't appreciate the quirkiness of the age of the buildings you may not however, but it did not hinder our stay in any way, it just added to the charm and history of the place.

    What can I say about this absolute treasure. Despite the cottages ages, they have been so well appointed. From the bathroom to the heating to the extemely comfortable bed. The cottage we stayed in was wonderful. The position is like no other right near the water with a lovely amount of space for extploring walking or even a game of footy if you had the whole family with you. There is the amazing coffee/cafe on the grounds, who make some of the best coffees I've tasted. Would thoroughly recommend, and absolutely wish we had of stayed longer.

    We loved our stay in the cottage. Despite the high winds, it was warm and cosy inside. The bathroom was very spacious and the bed and linen first rate. Great walking in the area to the lighthouse and surrounding area. We didn’t get to the museum but will next time. I’m telling everybody to stay here in future.

    Really hardly anything to dislike! Just no wifi to watch our favourite shows at night in the comfort of the house while the storm raged around us, but hardly a worry overall

    What an amazing location and experience! Views incredible. After gates closed to public at 5pm, we had both the cottage and light house area all to ourselves. Very clean, comfortable and spacious

    A clothes line outside to hang up clothes would have been useful.

    The location at the Pilots Station allowed us to stay in authentic accommodation at Low Head close to the lighthouse. It was comfortable and quiet and we had lots of room in the house.

    No laundry- but we didnt need to wash at that stage of our trip.

    The historic houses are in the most amazing position on the bay edge. Cozy and a range of properties to suit all sizes of booking. We had a one bed cottage. We had a few maintenance issues like lights and aerial , but these were fixed within 10 minutes of texting - so very good service ! Great cafe part of precincts. The beat thing was the frozen meals like scallop pies with 11 scallops, lasagne etc . Great coffee and light meals and produce from local including wines and Fork it Farm- yumm. The cottages have microwaves, ours didnt have oven. We were recommended wineries by Josh (?) and the great Penguin tour- very worthwhile even though we have seen lots.

    It is a pity the onsite cafe/providore does not open on Tuesday or Wednesday. The bathroom of the Schoolhouse cottage is in serious need of a refresh. There was a bad sewerage smell for our 3 night stay. The entry door lock and door handle are a bit tricky, and need some maintenance. Some comfortable outdoor chairs would be a great addition to this cottage, for sundowner drinks!

    The Low Head Pilot Station is unique accommodation in an absolutely gorgeous and peaceful location. The Old Schoolhouse cottage is right on the waters edge, and is cute and cosy. The beds were comfortable. The decor is a bit ‘shabby chic’. We would stay again, but would book the Lighthouse Keepers cottage for the superb views. The self check in/check out was super easy. Penguin viewing night tour just minutes away, and is a must do!

    This property is a perfect combination of historic buildings and upgraded, modern bathroom and kitchen. Outdoor space was lovely with table and chairs available. The lounge area was comfy and very spacious. We could have stayed here for DAYS!!! We did the Low Head Penguin Tour (separate from the property but right there! - FABULOUS!!!! Walking distance from the property to the lighthouse. An amazing experience! The onsite museum is really great too! a ton of info and exhibits of the history of the Low Head Pilots - what they were, how they came to be and the life of those who served.
