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.
