Experience pure Tasmania: Bruny Island, nature’s heaven

Uncover the natural treasures of Bruny Island, located off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania. This gem is easily reached by a ferry departing Kettering. It is a wildlife enthusiast paradise with a wonderful array of unique animals. Spot white wallabies, pademelons, quolls, potoroos and an assortment of birds.


The island is divided into north and south. It is connected by a thin piece of land with a road, known as ‘the Neck’. For a spectacular view over the Tasman Sea, visit The Bruny Island Lighthouse or explore the coastline on a boat. Take a short walk to Quarantine Bay and Chalky Point, or grab the double kayak and go on the lake.

Be sure to sample fresh Bruny Island oysters and visit the famous Get Shucked Oyster Bar. If you like, you can even go through the drive-thru! The Bruny Island Cheese Company is also just a short drive away. If you want to cook for yourself, we advise you to stock up on food before arrival.

Set on an eight acre waterfront property. Overlooking a lake, your pod has a queen-size bed, a kitchenette, a sofa bed and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. From your balcony, you can spot indigenous wildlife at dusk. The perfect base to soak up the charm of Tasmania.
