What a find! We spent over 3 hours pottering around this 160 year old cottage and talking with the curator, who was a lovely chap with a wealth of knowledge and passion about the history. The cottage is fascinating with an enormous amount of displays. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at a Women's Weekly magazine from the 1930s (hands-on was great). Apart from the cottage and household items there is a large display of farm implements, old transport equipment (including a horse side-saddle) and the original Cape Willoughby lighthouse. The gardens have been kept in original condition and are well maintained. Entry was $6 adults or $5 seniors and was worth every cent.
