Barunguba Montague Island Nature Reserve

Barunguba Montague Island Nature Reserve, just off the south coast near Narooma, offers the chance to experience a spectacular wildlife wonderland. Choose a day trip or indulge your inner mariner and stay in historic lighthouse accommodation. Any way you experience it, the incredible heritage, wildlife and breathtaking island views could keep you coming back. Visit from late winter to early December to see hundreds of seals lazing on the rocks, or bring your binoculars for a spot of birdwatching. More than 90 bird species have been seen on the island and 19 of them nest over summer. During spring, you're likely to see whales frolicking in the water on their annual southern migration. Their knowledgeable tour guides will be on hand to answer all your questions. If you're after an unforgettable experience, why not stay overnight in either of the two lovingly-restored lighthouse keeper's cottages? Indulge in a weekend escape with a difference in unique heritage quarters amid spectacular surroundings.
