The Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse sponsor the 114th North Head Lighthouse anniversary. The Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse formed in 2009 to insure a steadfast vigil and sound legacy for the lighthouse. The Keepers promote awareness, raise publicity and are spearheading efforts to restore the North Head Lighthouse, which has been damaged from time and the harsh elements of the Pacific Coast.

Is the Light house available to rent for weekends? I was watching Evening magazine or something & it said that you could reserve a weekend a week or something? Is this true?
