Reflections Norah Head Lighthouse Cottages

Watching whales pass by, hearing the waves and birds, and taking in the sunrises and sunsets made this one of my most enjoyable holidays. In winter, we used the gas patio heater to sit outside and photograph the stars after moonset. It was bitterly cold up there at midnight, but a magnificent experience. Tracey, the manager, was so friendly and helpful, which made our stay even better. We stayed in the Head Lighthouse Keepers cottage, a lovely, large heritage house. It has three bedrooms, a big kitchen, dining room, sitting room with a gas log fireplace, a bathroom with an excellent shower, and wonderful beds. The verandah goes around half the house, with its main side facing the lighthouse and sea. There’s outdoor dining furniture and deck chairs too. The outdoor chairs were very uncomfortable, my only criticism. The house isn’t wheelchair accessible, though it isn’t advertised as such. There are three steps at the front, two at the back door and one from the kitchen down to the laundry on the way to the bathroom. Inside, the hallways are wide enough for a wheelchair and the rooms are spacious.
