Beautiful lighthouse on Rottnest Island.
Hubby and our daughter paid a small fee for a guided tour. They went all the way to the top and loved the view

It’s favourite holiday place, well worth the wait and definitely worth bringing bikes, and fishing rods if you like. 1000/10 star rating. Even better to bring your own boat if you have one. Love it, I have too many pictures and can’t choose which ones.

One of the key stops on our bicycle tour of Rottnest Island. The lighthouse is on top of a steep slope so be prepared for a tough ride up. You can park your bikes before the final steepest stretch to save yourself some pain. To go into the lighthouse and climb to the top of the lighthouse tower, you need to join a tour which lasts 30 mins and costs A$15. We opted not to do the tour. The scenery around it was worth a stop already.

It was good. Great views. Disappointing you can't venture inside. There could be more information boards giving more history of the place and also what you see in the distance.

The lighthouse is close, but I still recommend to visit it because it is the highest spot in Rottnest Island and it is a good point to see all the island landscape.

It's a long road, but totally worth it. You can see for miles! And the road leading up to it frames the lighthouse perfectly.

Had an amazing honeymoon there. I know it sounds weird to have a quite strenuous activity during honeymoon. But we managed to visit Perth Zoo, Rottnest Island, and Fremantle Prison.

There are a lot of cute quokka once we get off the boat. But I suggest you to take the bicycle and take the 10-km route (it is provided there). The quokkas at the Wadjemup Lighthouse are really friendly, they're not afraid of humans! Get a selfie with them there!

In addition, you can also dive in the sea. The tides are really calm.

A really nice old school lighthouse with a fantastic view. Would be perfect to have a few drinks here and watch the sunset as there is a bench looking over the water

We rode our bikes there, lovely views at the top of the hill but we couldn't get into the lighthouse as it was closed for renovations

The place is so nice. We were just unlucky as when we went there the lighthouse is still under renovation. But all in all, it's good to go with the family.

Well worth a visit to the Island. We came by ferry - after a ferry rise from Perth. The Quokkas are amazing and the day is outstanding. Truly an Island paradise.

Absolutely beautiful with stunning views! Wished it was open to visitors. We biked around the island and i could still see this stunning icon of a lighthouse. Just beautiful

My only regret is not staying longer! Crystal clear waters and cute beaches around the whole island. Irresistible quokkas with their friendly smiles are not timid and can be found everywhere. Loved visiting!

Climbed up the light house to see this beautiful scenery. Family trip is best, I had wonderful time with my five year old son and my parents. Take ferry from Fremantle to Rottnest island and you can take either bus or bicycle to reach this lighthouse.

This spot is nice on top of a high hill with good views and coffee close by. You can climb to the top of the still working lighthouse but it will cost you some $.

What a shame to pay $9 per person more after already paying the ferry, the bike and the fees which are already supposed to cover the cost of repair of the island infrastructure

The highest point in the island. You’re every 30minutes until 2.30pm, run by volunteers, and costs $9 to visit.

Well worth it. Wonderful views and an interesting tour. Staircase not great if you’re not good with heights, but I managed.

Interesting lighthouse on the heart of Rotto.

Balcony tour was unavailable due to high winds but the guided tour of the lighthouse was informative nonetheless.

Lots of useful information available around lighthouse grounds.

Great views but the best thing about the lighthouse was the lovely Cobey in the kallis van at the top who was very pleasant and polite when offering cold drinks, icecreams or a coffee. Great work and your customer service is brilliant to see.
