POINT MONTARA LIGHTHOUSE HOSTEL

This place is beautiful!

Mein Mann und ich haben uns für eine Elopement Hochzeit am Strand entschieden und diese mit einer Reise nach Kalifornien verbunden. Das war ein großer Wunsch von uns. Durch Zufall habe ich den Montara Leuchtturm entdeckt. Das Team des Hi Point Hostels hat es möglich gemacht, dass wir am Leuchtturm heiraten konnten. Es war ein wunderschöner Tag und ich danke Janice für ihre tolle Unterstützung. Ich hoffe dass wir noch einmal hier her kommen können und unseren Hochzeitstag hier feiern. Das Montara Hostel hat einfach die schönste Lage am Pacifik, die man sich vorstellen kann.

We spent two nights at Point Montara Lighthouse hostel this week. It was incredible. We booked a room with four beds (a double and bunks) for the three of us. The room was perfect with comfortable bedding and the beds were already made up. We were in Surfside and were extremely fortunate to have it to ourselves on the first night. The kitchen is perfect, with incredible views. The lounge area was comfortable. It felt like being in someone’s home! Lovely little touches such as the fresh flowers and reed diffusers added to the ambiance.
The managers were helpful and informative but completely unobtrusive once we were given keys.
The main draw however is the location. Incredible views, a gorgeous sandy, private beach, the working lighthouse (with a fascinating history) and an amazing seating area. Pelicans, cormorants and other seabirds can be seen flying overhead and we saw a seal several times as well as a large buzzard. The peace and tranquillity was tangible. We did not want to leave. We are already planning a California coastal hostel trip and shall definitely return. Thank you.

A historic lighthouse

A basic clean hostel with a 10 star view. Very friendly host. Easy to find and a private beach to hike down to. Would stay again.
