Lightkeeper's Cafe

Lighthouse heritage cafe at Cape Otway famed for generously sized scones with jam and cream overlooking the coast.

Cosy heritage sandstone building with open fireplaces in winter, large windows framing the lighthouse and Southern Ocean, and a warm escape from the frequently wild coastal weather. Snug and homely with a genuine historic character dating to 1858.

Located inside the Cape Otway Lightstation heritage grounds (admission fee required); open fireplace in winter; lighthouse and ocean views from window seats; locally made Otway jam available for purchase; freshly baked scones daily; gluten free options available.

Deeply tied to Australian colonial heritage. the cafe operates within one of Australia's oldest lighthouse complexes (1848), set in sandstone buildings and staffed with a pride in the site's history.

Moderate pricing for a heritage site cafe. scones with jam and cream for two with coffees around $25, and scones individually at $6-$11. Some reviewers find coffee pricing slightly high given variable quality; the scones are consistently seen as good value for the experience.
