Montague Island HeadLighthouse Keeper's Cottage

Two restored keeper's cottages stand beside the granite light, completed in 1881, on an offshore nature reserve nine kilometres off Narooma. The Head Keeper's cottage takes ten across five bedrooms; the Assistant's takes six. There is no road and no private boat — you arrive on an NPWS vessel, transfer and island tour included. Australian fur seals haul out below the verandahs; the reserve protects more than ninety seabird species. Closed each August.
