The house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus a bunk room.
A wood-burning heater (cut wood provided) with backup heat pump provides warmth on arrival. The heat pump is also an air-conditioner.
Your drive in is through native bush so keep your eye out for the wildlife, many of which make their presence felt in the dusk silence.
Bruny Island extends 55 km from Dennes Point in the north to Cape Bruny Lighthouse in the south with a modest resident human population of around 800. Access is via a vehicular ferry from Kettering, a half hour drive south from Hobart.

Summary: Check-in was so easy. Anna came to meet us and got the fire going. The property is private and surrounded by beautiful, lush trees and nature. Plenty of room for large group. Beds are nice and firm. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials. There is no WiFi so we were truly off grid. Look forward to staying again.
