Fully Fenced Home on Bruny Island, Wrap Around Decks, 20m to Water on 3 Sides

The property is at Lunawanna, south Bruny Island and has been a permanent residence for 3 years and as such is fully and comprehensively facilitated. The property is situated in an absolutely stunning location with water wrapping around 3 sides. Huge decks take full advantage of this with access 20m away and Cemetery beach itself a short 80-100 m amble to the end of the road. There is plenty of parking and boat launching ramps close by. It is fully fenced with outdoor bbq and living areas at both ends, outdoor tables and chairs at both with dedicated wood stashes provided. There is also a Weber gas fired family Q on eastern deck should you want to cook with gas rather than wood. Recent renovations have seen double glazing and blinds, new carpets and floor coverings throughout. In addition the bathroom has been completely renovated with all new bathroom items and tiled floor. A reverse cycle air con has been installed to take the chill off early mornings whilst you wait for the combustion wood fire to do its things in winter or to provide cool during hot days. Extensive landscaped grounds complete the picture of a well cared for and loved home. The property sits on a double block with extensive bush garden and is fully fenced with waist high fencing. Small to medium sized dogs may be acceptable upon application. Larger dogs that may jump fences will not be considered. There is a $80 extra pet fee per pet.
The property is on Bruny Island and only accessed by car ferry. The ferry leaves from Kettering(about 30km south of Hobart). Ferry timetable can be accessed via Sealink Bruny Island site and is currently $50.60. The ferry ride takes 15mins and you disembark at Roberts pt. North Bruny and drive another 45km south to arrive at Lunawanna. On your drive you will pass through Great Bay and the Oyster shack as well as the famous Bruny Island cheese. A little further you cross the neck with the neck lookout on your left and water on both sides of the road. It is a stunning drive through rural idyll and seascapes. At T junction follow the road around to the right and meander through green valleys and wooded hills until you reach the coast again at Alonnah. Here are most services and Lunawanna is another 10min drive south. There is much to see and do on Bruny from some of the best day walks in Tasmania as well as the famous Pennicott cruises which leave from Adventure Bay. Similarly there are many old forest logging trails close by to be explored by adventurous mountain bike enthusiasts. Maps and details are available at the property for the above but you might very well be content just to relax and unwind on the front verandah and simply soak up the ambience and the beauty. There are two plastic sit-upons, paddles and pfd’s available for use and binoculars in the lounge room cupboard...in case you spot the sea eagle souring over head. Lots of books, puzzles and board games can also be accessed by guests. Alonnah pub is a short drive away or , if you are adventurous can be accessed after a short hike around the coast (a basic track for most of the way-takes bout 3hrs return) or Bruny winery and fine dinning is a short walk from the house itself. More details of things to do and see are in the guide book at the house itself. There are basic food essentials including olive oil and cooking oil for bbq-also plenty of bbq tools. If you are keen, there are 3 paella pans...just bring your rice etc and cook up a lovely smoky paella on the bbq...we do...regularly! A small pkt of full fat milk is provided for each stay .
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Absolutely fantastic. Comfortable, spacious and exceptional communication.
On entry we were all blown away by the property. It was a rare case where the comfort, expanse and appointment, exceeded expectations based on the listing. We arrived in the dark so it wasn’t until the next morning that we could fully appreciate the majesty of the location and the beautiful yard, teeming with native flora and birdlife. The host’s communication in the lead up to our stay was elite. We definitely hope to return here in the summer.

Very quiet location. Feels like your miles from anywhere, surrounded by water and nature, while your actually in town. Wished we could stay longer. Close to the lighthouse and other attractions that Bruny Island has to offer. Love to come back here one day. Highly recommended.

Peaceful and beautiful
We have stayed a month here and completely loved it. The only sound is lapping water, the stars are bright and last night we got a thunder and lightning show across the channel that was dramatic and fun. A lovely, almost empty sandy swimming beach is a short walk and we took the kayaks into the water just outside the door. House is great, clean, and beds are comfy.
