Cape Otway Lightstation

More than just a lighthouse, there's historical artefacts in a couple buildings around the site too. The cafe on site was handy for keeping warm whilst enjoying the view - food not so much. The lighthouse itself was closed as they were doing maintenance, but they compensated this by charging us only half price at $11 per adult (Apr 2026), toddlers (

Beautiful spot with great views. Plenty of car spots. Wheelchair access. Lovely easy walking tracks. Great bit of history and small type museums. Great cafe with good coffees and lovely cakes. Only rated 4 star as could not enter lighthouse due to repairs. Only charged half price entry due to repairs. Fair enough. Also a beautiful winding rainforest to drive to and from the site. Definitely not worth a visit

Make sure you check opening times to avoid disappointment. Tickets are currently half price as you can't go right up to or in the lighthouse. It is still definitely worth the drive, which is also very pretty, to see the lighthouse and other buildings. The history is well laid out and we found it very interesting. The views are absolutely amazing. Though we didn't visit, food and drinks are available at the cafe. Would recommend visiting.

Worth the detour! We had a great time exploring the station - there's much more to see than just the lighthouse! All the staff members we met were super friendly and kind, and the cafe had the most delicious scones ever!
