The lighthouse on Gabo Island guards the eastern entrance to Bass Strait in #Australia. It is an active navigation lighthouse and weather station for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
It was built in 1853 from red granite sourced on the island. The wind blew down the windbreak wall, so buttresses were added for stability.
We went to the top for perfect 360 degree views on a blue sky day.
Access to the island is generally by boat and one can stay overnight!

"Very comfortable, very clean, well equipped and handy location. A special mention to the VERY comfortable king bed- a rarity we have found! Appreciate the ability to bring our dog. "

Vista Views Five Star

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely few days celebrating my dad's 80th birthday with stunning sunrises and sunsets from the deck and wonderful views across the lake, mountains and ocean.Vista Views provided absolutely everything we needed. Spacious, stylish, quiet and comfortable - I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to soak up the natural ambience that is Mallacoota. "

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, what a view. Even though we stayed in the middle of winter the views are just amazing.Wake up to the sunrise over the lake and fall asleep with the moon shimmering over the water, all viewed from the master bedroom.The Yard is fully fenced and perfect for our dog to explore, as is the front deck.The deck has a bbq and lots of seating, the rear patio is covered with a chimenea and big table.Lots of wildlife all around! The front deck is teeming with birds and Kangaroos in the backyard most mornings.Only negatives:BBQ had no gas bottle attached and no compendium or guest book explaining house rules, bin days or local things to do and see."
