The Tasmanian Oak decking wraps the cottage perfectly to appreciate the natural surroundings and constant changing moods across the water.

A feeling of relaxation resonates throughout the cottage and gardens, whether soaking up the views from the bath or feeling as if your bed is over the water while enjoying the sunsets. The care and love in the restoration and extension work is apparent in the warmth and comfort experienced while in the home.

As well as being an idyllic place to call home, the diverse range of natural landscapes on Bruny Island, including rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, eucalyptus forests, and wetlands draw many thousands of tourists and it's a popular holidaying destination. It is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including many species of birds, seals, and penguins. The option for visitor accommodation would also be worth considering.
