The Lighthouse Tea Rooms

A cosy, historic teahouse by Split Point Lighthouse, The Lighthouse Tea Rooms earns consistent praise for its friendly, hospitable service, relaxed vibe and beautiful views. It is a favourite pit stop on the Great Ocean Road to recharge, with both indoor tables and a charming cottage garden outside.

Reviewers rave about the coffee, including flat whites, iced coffees and mochas, as well as chai tea and milkshakes. The gourmet toasties are the headline act, with standouts like the breakfast, bacon and egg, mushroom, roast beef and classic versions on garlicky sourdough, often called the best people have had. Many also enjoy the scones with jam and cream, brownies and almond croissants, plus there is mention of high tea. Families love the kid friendly touches like the shaded sandpit with toys, and dog owners appreciate the pet friendly seating. Quick, efficient service and a peaceful setting round out the experience.
