The lighthouse is such an original place to stay and really well set out on its 3 floors. Good exercise up and down those wooden stairs! The bed is really comfy and it was great to have windows open and fresh air. The top floor sitting room is fab. We just sat and watched the sea and sunset. Very convenient on bus for Wellington. Just 5 minutes walk back towards island bay. The other direction is short walk to the Beach House Café which is great for breakfast and lunch. Excellent food. There is a road between the lighthouse and the sea but its not very busy and is very quiet at night. Just the sound of the waves! Loved it!
