My fourth time staying at this magnificent property... I just love the location. The wedge-tailed eagles, sea eagles, a million wallabies and the late afternoon sunlight filtering through the trees are definitely the main highlights! The house is huge and comfortable, perfect for our girls weekend away.

Spectacular ,private setting for such wonderful accommodation. “Awesome “ was the word that sprang to mind as we entered the home…lots of living space, fantastic kitchen and dining area for us all. Loved the deck and outside area . Easy access to the lagoon, spent lots of time exploring. A short drive to a beautiful beach. Thoroughly recommend this accommodation venue for a large family gathering…we hope to return ??

Paine Family

Our second time staying at Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate with our whole family (nan, pop, uncles, aunties + the kids). This house is amazing for larger gatherings (there are 13 of us!). It feels like a large family home where we can cook together, play board games, dance, and walk the stunning foreshore of the lagoon. There is plenty of outdoor space for the kids to ride bikes, sit around the camp fire toasting marshmallows and simply be together. Thanks Ben + team for having us, thanks for making sure the fire wood is topped-up, thanks for the beautiful clean rooms, and for always being available during our stay... this property is our number one family getaway location. x

We had an awesome time – saw the Sea Eagles battling a seal for fish on the last morning ! Great house. If we could turn back time we’d have booked a longer stay. We believe we’ll be back !

Cher’s Greatest Hits Tribute Clan

Gorgeous place to stay with friends and relax into a few days of quiet living. We loved watching the light change over the lagoon from the deck, and if it was chilly the view was no less stunning through the huge windows from in front of the fire. The kitchen was fantastic for those of us who love to cook, and the dinning table a perfect spot for a few after dinner drinks and laughs. We fished the lagoon without luck, but were happy to have an excuse to wade about taking in the views. Birds everywhere, swans, sand pipers, and herons in the water, plovers, green parrots, and wrens about the deck, a falcon or two, and a less than impressed Wedge-tail being harassed by Currawongs. Perfect time away.

Fabulous home to stay in for a short break. Our group of eight friends enjoyed the spacious , well equipped house in a very beautiful and private location. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire whilst the rain fell outside, and when the storm caused the power to fail the support crew swung into action and made sure we were not inconvenienced for the short time we had no electricity. I would strongly recommend this house for a family or group planning a stay on Bruny Island and I will certainly be going back myself .

Sandra

Stunning, peaceful, waterfront home. I have just returned from a womens retreat that was held at the Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate. We had a stunning weekend and part of the great experience was the amazing accommodation. The hosts bent over backwards to assist us in accommodating our large group at very short notice. The house is well laid out to accommodate large groups and the waterfront views are just spectacular... I loved it, would stay there again and would definitely recommend it.

Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate is amazing. Driving down the long private driveway through Tasmanian bushland this luxury home is a hidden gem. The wood heater was going when we arrived warming this large modern home with floor to ceiling views across cloudy bay lagoon, the bush and the far distant peaks of the southern mountains of Tasmania. The living – dining - kitchen space is very well designed. Open plan, but spacious and defined areas. Great for families or larger groups. The focal points for the living space is the magnificent view and the fire with large separate cosy room for watching the giant TV. The kitchen is well equipped, modern and great for a big dinner or lunch party and although there is a dishwasher we didnt use it for water conservation sake and anyway the sink has the best view! There is also a huge deck with undercover outdoor table for warmer months. Five clean and comfortable bedrooms allow for many guests and the layout of the house is roomy enough so you have some privacy and space but it is also easy to close off areas to make a cosy holiday home for a smaller family of four. (There is a laundry, two toilets, two showers and two baths. A smaller one, great for the kids, and a huge bath with outdoor views though I would not dare use that much water) The cleared area around the house was brilliant for our kids to run around spotting wallabies and Black Currawongs as we gathered kindling for the outside fire area and toasted marshmallows. The path down to the lagoon is direct and super easy with a small sandy beach and colorful rocks to wander around and explore. Our kids spotted an echidna as soon as we walked down. The lagoon is very shallow and protected so would be brilliant for kids in the warmer months and at low tide it is easy to wander around looking at soldier crabs and bird life. Its only moments down the road to Cloudy Bay beach if you want a surf beach or super long sandy walk and close also to many bush walking tracks around the south coast. John was an excellent host and made great exploring suggestions and the wood pile was well stocked for keeping the house toasty in these cold winter weeks. It is a treasure. We will definitely come again and bring our friends.

Essie D.

Fabulous location, Wallabies grazing off the deck and relaxing views across the lagoon. Its a short walk to the beach for a surf . Well laid out for our family group of Parents, adult kids with partners and grandchild. Well stocked firewood and spacious kitchen with all the necessary glasses, pots, pans and cooking necessities.We would definitely return.

Sharleen from Rocky Cape Retreat

We have spent a wonderful time at this beautiful warm home and tranquil, idyllic setting. Abounding bird-life and grazing Pademelons. A perfect place for a memorable family retreat – for all ages. Enjoying the warm house and changing colors and tides in the lagoon were very relaxing and regenerative! Just wonderful.

Romme family

I have just returned from my 2nd stay in this special spot. The first was a reunion with school friends and this time a family get together with 3 families and grandparents. We were all very comfortably accommodated and loved the home and location. Ben was especially helpful when making the booking and supplied us with clear directions and information about Bruny Island; it’s history, attractions and suggested activities. We have all returned home with very special memories of a relaxing holiday in a beautiful and secluded location.

Margaret

Thank you for having us. A beautiful peaceful location with oodles of space.

Great Venue for big groups, ideal location, Highly recommended.

Tony

A beautiful home and location-perfect for a night of our annual catch up with 8 of us. Lovely to have a chance to enjoy the scenery. Taste local wines, cheeses, fudge and chocolate added to our stash we brought with us. Thanks for your help and effort when the power was off on arrival.

Sandra and John, Debbie and Adrien, Wendy and Larry, Nerida and Mark

A great house with stunning view. We spent enjoyable moments here. Thanks a lot for your hospitality.

Cloudy Bay Lagoon is lovely, felt very remote. House is massive and has everything you need. Track from the gate to the house is rough

Bianca

The house is very nice. I love the pademelons & the little beach. I found a currawong and names it Sock. Sock is very cute. We had a fun time finding 2 white wallabies, a spotted quoll, 2 echidnas, possums & mutton birds. We've had a very nice stay

Guest

Thank you for a fabulous stay. We have celebrated a 50th birthday. The views are amazing, the house was great for the ten of us. A bit sad to leave.

O'Meara's

Fantastic location and house, was perfect for our weekend and comfortably accommodates 8-10 people

Richard

Very good and peaceful house!

Nuramon

What an amazing location and property for a total retreat. Perfect!

Mond

This beautiful home is an absolute gem! It can accommodate up to 12 adults with ease and has a spacious, well-equipped kitchen. The stunning views of Cloudy Bay Lagoon make it the perfect place for any size group - even when faced with a rain shower on our last day we were able to enjoy ourselves exploring the area or playing board games indoors. We'd highly recommend this property which may be slightly out of reach but totally worth it! Thank you for sharing your sanctuary with us; what an amazing experience!

Tain Bartholomew

The location and view from the house was amazing. Heaps of room for our four families and children, we had a fab time.

Cassandra

Wow what a beautiful house! So serene and private. So much room and has all the mod cons you could ask for. We loved staying here and would love to return some day. Time seems to stand still yet still goes so quickly, I'm not sure how that works yet it does.

A local to Tasmania yet first time visiting Bruny and wow we were blown away. Amazing place, Amazing views. So serene and private. Everything was so easy and carefree. Really enjoyed our time here and our 3 year old loved running around the space inside and out. Would recommend to anyone whether your a couple or a big family if you stay here you will not regret it.

The Steyn Family

When we walked into this house, we were shocked! We couldn't believe that this was the house we were staying at! But after the 3 days here, we don't want to leave... it's just so beautiful and natural. We got a few visits from the wallabies & found a million crab holes on the beautiful lagoon sands. We haven't seen a white wallaby yet but will keep an eye out. We have been enjoying Scrabble and have been interested going through the books here. We're so close to the beach and are literally right next to the lagoon. We love this house and will recommend it to everyone we know and tell them about the awesome views. 10/10

Ines, The Alkons, Smiths, & Websters

We had our family Christmas at this fantastic home. Perfect for our large group of 6 adults and one baby. The house is well equipped and super comfortable, a home away from home. Right on the lagoon and close to enough to walk to the beach. 10/10

Jen

We had a great time in this lovely house. Plenty of room, gorgeous location and wonderful wildlife. Great access to the water <3

We had guests for our wedding stay at Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate and they were absolutely blown away by everything about the property. In their own words, 'Wow, this is incredible, I feel like I need an instagram following to show this place off to!'

Rebecca Ray

Lovely large and beautiful home with wonderful views and access to private beach. Our group of walkers had a great stay and loved relaxing here in the evening.

Anne

Sensational! A stunning property in a glorious location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this house as a base when visiting Bruny.

Linda

A very comfortable house - it had everything we needed for our group of eight people. The house had four queen rooms, one twin and then a loft with a queen and a single bed. Plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed.

We booked this property so our large family could get together to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. It was just perfect. There was plenty of room, it was light, modern, stylish but paid homage to the spectacular location. It was a low key celebration - Steve just requested a roast dinner, a cheesecake and his family around him, so it fitted the bill. We also stopped at the winery for lunch on the way to the property (highly recommended), took walks on Cloudy Bay beach, and around the property and just sat in front of the fire took in the views and read and did jigsaw puzzles and relaxed. It was special and lovely.

Steve's 60th

We really loved the house, the location and the wildlife around the surrounds. Perfect for a family holiday. Loved our time here. Thanks

Shaun, Bianca + Craig

Great place for a large family to stay. Plenty of sleep room, very well equipped kitchen and plenty of room for children to play outside.

Tony

The perfect house in the perfect position! Ideal for our family aged from 1 to 65. We will be recommending it to friends!

Greg & Lisa

Great house, fantastic views. Loved the birdlife and the walks!! Fire was fabulous especially after we lost power during the storms. A wonderful relaxing weekend with best friends.

Libby, Simon, Margery, Ian, Yvonne, Graeme, Janne + Martin

Hi Ben, We loved our stay at Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate. It was the perfect spot for a large get together of friends and the location is breathtaking. The house was well equipped and spacious enough for the 10 of us, a great house for a big group. Looking forward to visiting Bruny again soon and staying at another one of your properties. Thank you and best wishes, Ann.

Ann

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing house. Unfortunately the other family we had booked it with couldn't come due to lockdown, so the four of us rattled around a bit in a house so large. Would have been perfect for a larger group. The location is private, serene and the wildlife abundant. We woke up to a Tassie wedge-tailed eagle outside our window the first morning and the next day had three of them flying around! We very much appreciated the fireplace which kept most of the house warm and the huge double-glazed windows meant you could enjoy the location and stay snug and warm. The light switches take a bit of figuring out and an extra heater or two for the other bedrooms would be appreciated, but otherwise it was an incredibly relaxing stay.

Kellie Keniger

This was a brilliant place to stay for 12 of us, with more than enough space and kitchen supplies for a comfortable and enjoyable time. Thanks!

Harris

To whom it may concern, The house is wonderful. We loved the stay, especially the fire. The upstairs room was very comfy and the pademelons outside were very cute. In addition the family loved the general nature and wildlife. Regards

Hello Ben + fellow travellers, All of Bruny Island is just beautiful! Cloudy Bay Beach +Lagoon in particular are two of the most pristine and lovely places to spend time. We particularly loved dusk when the wildlife come to visit at the house +the herrons and other birds came to feed at low tide… Walking out onto the sand bars + observing the tiny crabs marching. Magical. Thank you.

McCarthy family

The Tasmanian Dash- 3 nights here +what a superb view. magic! Had loads of fun on the lagoon, visiting penguins, Inala for a great bird tour, fluted cape walk and many other walks. We hope to be back.

Guest

Our group of 8 came to see the Aurora, but unfortunately the sun didn't cooperate this time.We now know the best place in Tassie when we come again to see it.The house is magnificent and we were particularly amazed to see the thousands of crabs scuttling across the sand at the beach. Highly recommended.

Lawrence

We were a group of five couples - all middle aged middle class professionals and we had THE BEST three nights over New Year at this place. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The solitude and landscape is second to none. Five stars!

Sarah Ferguson

Stayed over the weekend for my daughter's wedding. Everything ran incredibly smoothly - a fantastic day, with equally fantastic accommodation and organisation.

Graham

This was a trip for our extended family, 2 adults and 6 teenagers/adults. Most teenagers don't want to hang out with the "olds" but we mentioned Bruny Island and showed them where we were going, I cannot believe how well it went. The house was so accommodating, spacious and well laid out. An amazing design with spectacular view of the lagoon directly in front of the house. Conveniently close to surf at "Cloudy" (surf talk), ideal for the 3 surfers we had with us. Thank you Ben, for everything arranged and making it the best family holiday. We said we will come back again; and we will !

Mark Tate, Kellie Morris

Thank you John for such an amazing stay here! The view is beautiful and the house is unbelievably stunning!!! We cant wait to come back! Thank you

Charlotte & Dylan

Gorgeous location and the house is amazing, we had a fantastic time. Thanks Ben for all your help in organising Shalissa and Josh's wedding and accommodating guests. Bruny Island is beautiful!

Suzanne & Paul

What an amazing view looking over the lagoon, and a beautiful house to sit in whilst enjoying the amazing view. Bruny is incredible. We will be back!!

Kianah & Tyler

Beautiful, light, luxurious and peaceful home on the water with views to die for. After a retreat weekend at this beautiful estate, I'm keen to return and bring the family. The home was able to house a large number of people and I particularly liked the lightness and views of the home. You really feel like you're miles from everyone. There's a small beach right out the front to kayak from and it's kid friendly and shallow for a long way out. The home is beautifully designed and you feel like part of nature with glass the whole way round. A peaceful retreat from the rigours of life, hard to leave and keen to return.

Womens Retreat

Stunning home ! What a place for a retreat. We will be posting photos and sending you great reviews. Ben, you went over and above to accommodate us, we will be back !!!

S. King

Absolutely beautiful, magnificent place. Wish we could stay longer, thanks again.

What a divine tranquil sanctuary. After a busy day filming at exquisite locations across Bruny Island, we were delighted to arrive at our beautiful water front accommodation. With extensive views and privacy that transported us into another realm, Cloudy Bay Lagoon Estate provided for so much more than just our practical needs. Wonderful spacious rooms with floor to ceiling windows enabled us to feel as though we could touch the wild adventure of Bruny Island whilst nestled in pure comfort.

R. Langford

A beautiful setting, so beautiful and accommodating, wish we had longer and could stay forever. Thanks Ben for such an amazing start to our Mini-Moon we are so happy that people like you are caring for this beautiful special land. Thanks for doing great things with it! We hope to come by again!
