About this property
Sun-drenched with spectacular views. Central location for exploring Bruny.
The Stowaway is the perfect central location to soak up the best of what Bruny Island has to offer.
Sleeping up to four, the cottage is only 100m from the water's edge, accessible by the Sheepwash Track at the front of the property. This coastal esplanade will take you to several beaches, and is an easy walk to the only pub on the island, Hotel Bruny.
With sweeping views of Tasmanian mainland, the property boasts a large deck for you to enjoy meals, drinks and stunning sunsets across the water with Hartz Mountains as a backdrop.
The house is set up for you to unwind and soak up the best of Bruny. Use it as a comfortable base to explore incredible bushwalks and landscapes of the island. The only pub on the island is one minute drive, or a 10 minute walk, and for a more upmarket lunch and wine tasting, the vineyard is 5 minutes by car.
Two cosy bedrooms sleep up to 4 adults. The shack is simple with two bedrooms - One with a queen, the other is a double bed. The 2nd bedroom is small, with a luggage rack, bedside table and limited other space. We suggest smaller luggage is suitable for this room.
The shack sleeps up to four, however, given its size the shack is probably best suited to three adults.
The lounge/dining is equipped with heating which heats the entire house quickly, television, NBN wifi, and a powerful portable bluetooth speaker. Games and DVDs are provided.
We understand that accidents happen so ask that should anything be broken or damaged to please let us know so we can replace the item for the next guests.
For your comfort, we provide: - bed linen and bath towels - shower and hand soap - kitchen basics (oil, salt, pepper, tea and coffee) - hairdryer
We do not provide: - beach towels - food
The property operates on tank water which is safe to drink. Please be mindful of water usage.
Wallabies are usually present at the property from dusk to dawn and you will almost certainly encounter them if driving after dark, which we don't advise. If you must, please keep your speed to 20km on our road in particular.
Guest access: The keysafe is fixed onto the back door and you can use the same key for the front and back doors. If you choose to enter through the back door, you're entering through the bathroom so simply just pop around the front verandah to enter through the front.
Other things to note: The island has two simple general stores, but be prepared to purchase your needed groceries before you get to the island.

Absolutely beautiful place. Loved the space and location. Pauline the host was fantastic, great communication and very helpful. Can't wait to stay again
The location of the property was outstanding. Everything we could possibly need was included. The property was clean, spacious and just wonderful. I could not recommend this property more highly, we never wanted to leave the deck and the magnificent views.
A nice quiet comfortable home spot close to the water
Comfortable stay for a family of 3

Location and views the highlight
Very cosy , nicely decorated home with lovely views, pretty coastal walk close by and the general store and hotel a short drive (or long walk) nearby. Great location.

Comfortable cottage
Great central location on Bruny Island. Clean, slightly quirky but very comfortable. Lots of wild life.
We had a lovely stay at the Stowaway. The bed was so comfortable and it was great to be able to walk down the track at the front and along the beach to the pub. The property had everything we needed to cook our own meals which was handy. We loved our stay!
Attractive, comfortable cottage with a well equipped kitchen and a lovely view to the west, across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, of the southern mountains. Really enjoyed being there.
This cottage has a really well equipped kitchen, which is a real bonus in my opinion. The view, on a still evening is fabulous.

A cosy & comfortable little cabin, unpretentious but with all the little luxuries. Immediate access to excellent walks, feels safe, peaceful location. Wish we could have stayed longer. Felt like home immediately.

clean & tidy house, lot of wild animals can be seen nearby
Great location about 10min walk from Bruny Hotel. Great view of the D’Entrecasteaux channel and snow capped mountains in the distance.
Didn’t have a chance to use the deck but bbq as the sunsets would be fantastic.
Comfy bed
A beautiful part of Bruny Island. Very central to all Bruny Island hotspots, including the Bruny Island Hotel which had fantastic food. The accommodation was very cozy indoors including an outdoor, large balcony for an afternoon cheese platter and a glass of local wine. Very relaxing especially at dusk when all the local nature comes out and explores the area. Will book again and highly recommend to friends.
My friend and I stayed a couple of nights in this cute and cosy shack at Alonnah. It was super clean and in a great location to explore Bruny.
The only minor issue we came across was that the door to the second bedroom couldn't close (due to the bed frame preventing the door from swinging closed).
Otherwise it was great, thanks!
We had a wonderful stay and everything we needed was available to us. The house was plenty big enough but nice and compact at the same time making it very easy to keep tidy.
The deck is amazing and the kids loved seeing the Wobbalies {Wallaby's} that came each evening and the easy walk down to the water to cool off.
I highly recommend this BnB and hope to return ourselves in the future. Thank You so very much
Great little house for a weekend away on Bruny. Great view and access to coast track.

The cottage was very comfortable with a homy style. It has a brilliant view from its oversized balcony deck. It has almost everything we need for our stay.
