The place

"Lighthouse Cottage" at 149 m elevation is an entry with a generic English-language name evoking a cottage near a lighthouse. No public source consulted describes this location precisely; the name is too common (NZ, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, USA...) for identification without GPS coordinates. Should be renamed to specify the country/location.

Getting there

DOC cottage (https://doc.govt.nz/link/1d3d0d5acab246d8b4a4ae10deea24b9). Database status: guarded. Clustered with Glenrae Bivvy (batch 59, Canterbury Lewis Pass).

The setting

Banks Peninsula / Akaroa Lighthouse (Canterbury, South Island, 43.59°S 172.80°E, 149 m, New Zealand) — not Cape Brett, Northland (at ~35°S, North Island), despite the search. DOC lighthouse keeper's cottage.
