Welcome to Bruny Island

Bruny Island Coastal Retreats is passionate about the preservation and celebration of the Island’s extraordinary beauty and rich cultural landscape. The stewardship of our land and the wildlife that inhabit it are our highest priority.

We cater for guests who share these values and who seek the “tonic of wildness”. For those who demand crowds, endless shops and dust free roads - we recommend going elsewhere.

Our properties offer spectacular settings for communing with the Island’s elemental splendour. David Thoreau’s quote, “I have a room all to myself; it is nature...”, wonderfully encapsulates the experience we aim to evoke.

In keeping with this ethic we enthusiastically support individuals, organisations and projects that work to protect the cultural and environmental characteristics that make Bruny Island the very special place it is.
