The house

A harbormaster's house, given a second century.

Built in 1890 to watch over the harbor, this old house had kept its bones but lost its way. We spent two years bringing it back — original timber and tilework, modern comfort, and a porch that's once again the best seat on the waterfront.

We reopened as Harborlight in 2019 with one rule: do fewer rooms, better. No corridors of identical doors — just eighteen rooms, each with its own light, and a team small enough to remember how you take your coffee.

Your hosts

Run by people who live here.

Harborlight is owner-run by innkeepers who live two doors down. You'll likely meet them at breakfast or on the porch at dusk — and that closeness is the whole point.

  • Owner-operated — decisions made by people who answer the door
  • A small, long-tenured team that knows the regulars by name
  • Locally sourced, from the breakfast eggs to the bedside soap
What we believe

Small, on purpose

Hospitality first

The view gets you here; the welcome brings you back.

Of this place

Local makers, local food, local stories — not a chain in sight.

Quiet luxury

Comfort over flash. Nothing precious, everything considered.
