Assistant LighthouseKeepers' Cottages

The assistant keepers' cottages stand on the Cape Byron headland, the most easterly point of the Australian mainland, restored and let by NPWS. By day the lighthouse draws crowds; after sunset they leave and the headland is yours — beaches, coastline and the light above. Three bedrooms, sleeps six, with views the length of the coast. Byron Bay is a half-hour walk down the hill, or a short drive.
