Found out about this museum pretty much at the last minute as we had lunch at Georgetown earlier in the day. Seemed to be interesting so we headed out. So glad we did. Most informative about the area and maritime history. the attendant gave us some starting points and at only $8 for the two of us good value. Beautifully maintained rooms gave us a good insight into the area. Smal but good value and a nice afternoon.

Started our visit with a great coffee and Jaffa cake from the cafe. The museum was fantastic due to the comprehensive information and original artefacts from the area. The museum attendant was attentive and informative and we were also able to enjoy the experience at our own pace. He provided good information on other places of interest for us which we appreciated. The whole pilot station site is beautiful and you can even rent one of a number of onsite heritage cottages which we wished we had known about prior to our visit. Beautiful area with some great historic museums in the main street and historic homes to visit.

I'm passionate about architecture and my partner enjoys maritime history so this hit the target for both of us.

When we entered the cafe we were the only customers. We both ordered the soup, from the special board, and an iced coffee. We were told that there was enough soup left for a couple of servings. Another couple entered the cafe and ordered hot drinks and toasted sandwiches, which they received, before we received our iced coffees. 2 more lots of customers entered, ordered, and received their orders. We had waited half an hour but still no soup. Upon requesting our money back the woman behind the counter got quite nasty and abrupt, and informed us that the soup was now coming, and that the delay was because they bake their own bread fresh daily. We decided to wait. The so called fresh bread that they bake daily turned out to be a "Bake At Home" dinner roll that can be purchased in the supermarkets and takes no longer that 5 minutes to bake in the oven.

This has a special place in Northern Tasmania's maritime history. The surrounds of the pilot station and the museum itself are fascinating for people interested in things nautical. The gentleman who was volunteering on the day of our visit couldn't have been more helpful or informative. He knew the Tamar like the back of his hand and brought the old stuff to life for us. A small donation to this attraction is appreciated as there is no government support for it and volunteers do all the work.

Worth visiting as one of the three museums at Low Head and Georgetown. Tells the sory of the pilot station at Low Head with many interesting photos and objects

Certainly an incredible amount of memorabilia on the history of shipping into the Tamar River and the role played by the Sea Pilots during that history. Always interesting to see historical artifacts in their appropriate setting and this museum doesn't disappoint at all - worth a look!!

The low head pilot station has excellent views and has a great history. Cafe Is a bit pricey but that's the only downside.

Set in beautifully restored historic buildings right on the edge of Bass Strait, the museum's twelve rooms house an intriguing display of everything nautical. There are arrays of diving gear, there's a navigation display and semaphore flags, facts about and artefacts from shipwrecks, bells and foghorns, heaps of things to touch and try. I wasgobsmacked by this place.

On the opening of the Tamar River this historic site is superb. You could imagine a great theatrical production here, gusting winds or the still sun in summer with sea waters caressing the stone jetty. There is a great museum with a local feel to it. Walk from here to the light house and let the elements cleanse you and allow your mind drift to a time before electricity. The café is good value and the staff friendly. I've been three times - and they are consistently good.

We didn't stay here for long, just got a quick snack at the cafe which was lovely and then looked at the buildings before heading further on. Didn't go into the museum but will do next time with more time available.

Wonderful place to have a meal. Great lamb pies served with salad. Great service by the owner Gina, who is the chef of great note

There is plenty to see inside and out. The surrounding buildings are attractive and well cared for. We ate at the cafe and enjoyed great coffee and a local delicacy...curried scallop pie. The pie was tasty but the curry was a bit sweet for my liking, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Low Head is just a short drive from Georgetown. Both are worth a visit if you are visiting wineries in the Tamar Valley or staying in Launceston. The Pilot Station is located on a piece of coastline with spectacular views back down the Tamar estuary. It is quite a large area made up of several buildings all of which you can walk around, though one of the buildings is a museum. The museum has a lot of detail about the pilot station and a large number of interesting exhibits. The site also has a cafe. The site is generally level and you can drive and park on site. It would be suitable for wheelchairs or prams/strollers. There are toilets.
