About this property

South Bruny Island Retreat - Spa & Infrared Sauna

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway in Lunawanna, Bruny Island.

Overview:
We have arguably the best equipped stay available for your adventure to the popular, beautiful and well-renowned Bruny Island. This property features an open plan home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, equipped super comfortable furnishings including two leather lounges, two king size beds, a fully equipped kitchen, coffee station, breakfast bar (stools facing kitchen), wood fire and heat pump/reverse cycle air conditioner which is very efficient and a games room with pool table, lounge with chaise, fridge and bar table with stools. Out the front you can enjoy the view with outdoor settings, a BBQ for the true Aussies amongst us, a fenced area and a screen for your privacy, so that you can enjoy the 6 seater spa and 2-3 person infrared sauna whilst looking out at the water - Making this the perfect choice for your Bruny Island getaway.

Connectivity
We have high speed Starlink internet which is the best you'll find on the Island, as connectivity can be an issue on an isolated Island. For that reason we do ask guests to be patient with power outages etc, as these things can happen and it can take time to have them rectified due to the isolation. Luckily we have a wood heater to keep you toastie in case this is a problem during your stay. Generally we have been very lucky with our internet and power but we just like to let everyone be aware of what may be experienced with Island Life.

Pets (prior approval required)
Your furry friends are welcome on request and for a small fee, and will be kept safe in the fenced area at the front of the house.

Home away from home

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxed time in Bruny Island based at the Lighthouse Cottage. The house was very comfortable with nothing lacking either in utilities, linen and kitchen equipment and food basics. Helen and Tim were easy to communicate with and provided helpful local knowledge. I would highly recommend their place to others. Fiona and Dale January 2025

If you are into wildlife and birdwatching, as we are, this place had it all. One morning a wallabee the next an enchidna. Birds everywhere. The property is clean and comfortable, good WiFi and a good location. We loved it. Highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Helen

Host profile image
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania. I spent a lot of my childhood visiting Bruny Island and have a very soft spot for the island. It has always been my dream to eventually own my own property on Bruny Island, and I am very pleased to be able to share the space I have thoughtfully prepared with visitors to the Island. I have two beautiful dogs - A husky and a malamute and for this reason wanted to be able to offer pet friendly accommodation.

Why they chose this property

My father grew up on Bruny Island, his family owned the Alonnah Pub.
When I was a child, we spent many holidays, new years eves, Easters etc at our shack on Bruny Island and any chance I got to choose what to do for my birthday it would be to go to Bruny Island. It’s an amazing and beautiful spot. I would recommend any Tasmanian and any visitor to Tasmania to visit Bruny Island. There is some beautiful scenery to see there, beautiful beaches and now a lot of wonderful places to visit such as Bruny Island Premium Wines.

What makes this property unique

We have spent a lot of time trying to pick comfortable furniture and adding things to make everyone’s stay extra comfortable and memorable. With many games, a Nintendo Wii U and a separate studio with a fridge, pool table and bar table with stools.
