Pleased we did our research and found both Lighthouses. Of course, the Cape Egmont one was the best....(there is also one at the boat club). Lovely secluded spot with an easy walk up to the lighthouse - unfortunately, Mt Taranaki was playing hide and seek and so didn't get to see that in the background.

Um divertido passeio com as crianças, não tem nada além do farol e uma vista linda da praia e do mount taranaki, bastante vento e cheirinho do mar!

A beautiful and interesting place to visit.
When an inconsiderate American tourist flies a drone over my property without consent, I always shoot it down and send the offended on their way.

This review is for the replica lighthouse and museum by the boat club.
We arrived just as it had closed and the volunteer guide stayed on to let us look through. Enjoyed climbing up to the top, reading the info, and for $2 you can get the light to work which was cool!
Neat little place for a quick stop.

We visited the well-signposted replica lighthouse up the coast in error and thought we'd visited the original lighthouse. Fortunately we realised our mistake and visited the real lighthouse after that.
The replica lighthouse by the boat club does house a small lighthouse museum which is closed at present.
Please respect the privacy of the owner of the home near the lighthouse. She does have the right to be free of drones filming her home or her. It is very easy to take videos or still photos of the lighthouse without using a drone.
The light is monitored remotely from Maritime New Zealand's Wellington office and so is unattended.
It is worth reading the history of the area before you go - how the lighthouse was cast in London in mid 1800s, shipped to NZ and erected on Mana Island. Its erection was followed by a number of boating accidents, thought to be caused by confusion between 2 local lighthouses. In 1881, it was moved to Cape Egmont where local Maori had good reason to delay its construction. They were successful in this until the colonial authorities stationed about 40 members of the Armed Constabulary at the tower to ensure its completion.
Possibly one of the windiest spots in Taranaki apart from on the mounga.

I to had a run in with the crazy lady. I did have the drone out for some photos. She drove up and starting yelling at me to take the drone down using every expletive under the sun. Got out of her car and came up to me like she’s was going to attack me. When I’d packed up and started to leave she saw me off with the double handed birdie. Real shame that’s what our tourist who go out of the way get to experience.

Went to the lighthouse to snap a few photos and use the drone to take some aerial shots. There were no signs posted and all of a sudden this crazy woman appeared out of seemingly nowhere and started SCREAMING about how we didn’t ask to take photos of her home. My friend and I were shocked because we believed in the US that lighthouses are owned by the government. We apologized about 50 times but she wasn’t having it, and insisted on taking our license plate to report us (even though we made it very clear we were American!) She was extremely aggressive and mean. Beware of the crazy woman, but the lighthouse and the beach were beautiful and worth the wrath of the lady!

Nice place to stop and see. Make sure you take the right road to get there (not the road to the boat house)

Majestic lighthouse on top of hill 2 min drive from turnoff. Rocky beach along shore.
Went on a Monday at 11am but no signs to gain access. Chains across property to warn people away.
There is a dirt track which leads to a private house but you need a four wheel drive or lose a muffler.
Not sure why this site has visiting hours.

We saw some great photos on this light house and thought we would give it a visit. It took us an hour driving down from New Plymouth. The lighthouse stands alone out on the field by the sea. There is not much signs or parking, as this is not a tourist attraction. We entered the lighthouse by the little gate beside what used to be a guard house.
It was super windy when we were up at the lighthouse. The lighthouse stands out beautifully from its surrounding.
