POINT LONSDALE ACCOMMODATION Cosy, cutting-edge design, romance from the past, whether secluded in ti-trees or with the roar of the ocean, Point Lonsdale Accommodation options abound. The total immersion in a past ambience with modern facilities can be appreciated at the Point Lonsdale Guesthouse (formerly the Terminus and the oldest in Point Lonsdale) situated close to the lighthouse, pier, beaches and cafes. A gentle walk to Ripview to see ships coming from everywhere in the world. The low chugging sound of a pilot boat, possibly a close-up view of ‘The Princess of Tasmania’ and further beyond the Point Nepean Headland (historically linked to Shortland Bluff and the Point Lonsdale Headland). Three headlands with National Heritage Listing, a testament to Australia’s earlier defence capabilities.
