Does anybody know, if the lighthouse refurbishments are almost finished and if not how long it will take? Would be nice to see the lighthouse in fresh and birght colours;)
No, it is not yet finished. Work is still going on and scaffolding is up. Looks like it will take some more time. But at least the light in the lighthouse is working again!
When I was last there, it was almost done. ;)
Yes, I thought so too when seeing it in June. But that's how it looked last Saturday:

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to ask...but does anybody know when/if the Newport bay hotel will be refurbished? Its good to see the lighthouse getting such good attention and I would love to stay at NPB but the reviews I've seen recebtly suggest the rooms need a little TLC.

I'm sure they will do one day in the future, but it won't be any time soon. They've only announced plans to refurbish the rooms in the Sequoia. There's been no word on the other hotels. :)
Thanks for the reply Meph :] I guess we'll be giving the NPB a miss then, maybe just book a meal at the Yacht Club instead as it's still on our list of "must trys".

I'm just back and the lighthouse is still covered up :( , breaks up the panoramic photos and videos ufortunatly.
too bad...i´m going on sunday and i think it won´t be better till then...and Walts and Gibson Girl on mainstreet are still covered too...
Well, don't you prefer refurbishments to decaying buildings? I know it's annyoing to see so many buildings with scaffoldings at the moment, but if you just think about the state of the rotting Pirate Ship, I totally welcome all these refurbishments...So stop complaining :D
The lighthouse is still under wraps, but work was going ahead this weekend, so maybe it will be back to its full glory soon.
This is a photo from Monday, it looked amazing lit up.

Finally!! Thanks for the update, MrsPirate. Hopefully now the light will be working for a long time. I was so disappointed each stay when it didn't work.
When was it working last before the refurb? Because in october I was really surprised to see a light up in the lighthouse, I couldn't remember of seeing it ever before...
It was working during some of our stays the last few years, but most times it was not. Let's hope they sorted this out now. After all it's just a lightbulb, shouldn't be too hard...
