Cape Willoughby Conservation Park

We’re excit­ed to share the lat­est updates to enhance Cape Willough­by Con­ser­va­tion Park, an icon­ic South Aus­tralian des­ti­na­tion. We are revi­tal­is­ing Cape Willough­by with a new vis­i­tor cen­tre, café, light­house tours and refur­bished Keep­ers’ cottages. 

Nego­ti­a­tions are under­way to max­imise the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pro­vide dis­tinc­tive and high qual­i­ty vis­i­tor expe­ri­ences on site. This invest­ment ensures the park’s her­itage is con­served for future generations.

What’s New at Cape Willoughby?

• New Vis­i­tor Cen­tre and Café: Open­ing in mid-2025, the new facil­i­ties will offer a mod­ern and wel­com­ing space for vis­i­tors to relax and enjoy the stun­ning views of Cape Willoughby.
• Revi­talised Keep­ers’ Cot­tages: The his­toric Keep­ers’ cot­tages are being refur­bished to pro­vide unique accom­mo­da­tion options. Avail­able for book­ings from mid-2025, these cot­tages will offer a blend of her­itage charm and mod­ern comforts.

Ben­e­fits to the Com­mu­ni­ty and Visitors

• Her­itage con­ser­va­tion: The project ensures the long-term con­ser­va­tion of Cape Willoughby’s her­itage, pro­tect­ing its his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance for future generations.
