Such a lovely little cottage in a peaceful location.
We weren’t that comfortable without any window coverings on the bedrooms and bathroom, but otherwise it’s a great spot for a quiet family break.
Barnes Bay on Bruney Island, Tasmania, is a fabulous location to de-stress and relax. The house is on the water, surrounded by wildlife, and very private. Massive glass windows allow you to take in the water views from most rooms in the house. It is fitted out nicely, and the kitchen is great.
A charming property sitting by waterfronts with magical views from dawn to dusk. Facing the beach and rowing on the machine felt like rowing to the sea. Lots of widlife to watch. A great reception of WIFI with 5G was definitely a bonus! We enjoyed our stay in this cottage very much. Thank you for your hospitality.
