Outstanding as ever

This is the nicest holiday home on the island. Beautiful views, everything you could possibly need in the house and close to the pub and cafe at the end of the street. Outstanding as ever as we stayed here 10 years ago and was not disappointed with the home, location, and responsiveness of the owner. No wonder it’s booked solid!

Alonnah

Alonnah is one of the best Bruny Island beaches to walk along. The house is large , as dramatic as in the photos and generously stocked with pantry basics. The front deck was superb! Hotel Bruny is a great local, and don’t miss Issy’s Bar (about 4km away).

Sunset Bay

Sunset Bay was a dream - the view from this house was exceptional to the point that we only ever reluctantly left the house. The kids thought it was “the best house ever”. Location was amazing either with an easy stroll to dinner at Bruny Island hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect house for 3 couples on Bruny

The location of the house is excellent as you can easily do day trips to the north and south of the Island and to Adventure Bay. It is a few minutes walk to Hotel Bruny which has fantastic meals. The house has a wonderful view looking back to the mainland and of Satellite Island with a deck at the front and back of the house which is perfect to avoid the wind depending on the direction. Both decks have outdoor table and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked and the furnishings very comfortable. We had a group of 3 couples and the house was perfect as each had their own bathroom. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. It was a perfect house to stay while exploring the island.

Bruny Island - Alonnah

This property is incredibly comfortable and spacious. Although there is space in between, including a quiet road, the full glass doors looking over to the bay and islands make a wonderful outlook. it was especially nice when the rain was beating down and the winds were blowing to stay inside in the warmth and watch the beautiful waterscape.

Great place

We stayed as a group of 3 couples and loved the place. It has amazing views, warm fire with plenty of wood and a well equipped kitchen. Just a short stroll to the pub and beach, it is a great base for a few days on beautiful Bruny Island. A special thanks to the host Mark for being so understanding (unlike some other hosts) about Covid related delays in 2020 and 2021. We are so glad we finally got there.

Just incredible

Stayed 2 nights with my partner, and it was just incredible. Spectacular sunsets, wildlife, location, it was everything we could have wanted. We love to cook, so we made use of the full kitchen and pantry. Excellent communication from Mark, helping to make the stay extra special. Thank you!

Beautiful location Superb accommodation

This is a spectacular property and setting. Views for miles and glorious sunsets to be admired from the huge deck, or sit costed up with the wood fire. As advised by the owner, a definite must to stop off on the way to the house for oysters, cheeses and bread. If you don’t feel like cooking in the well appointed kitchen with thoughtful pantry extras available, the Pub is around the corner with a menu that’s varied and delicious. Loved staying on the west side of S. Bruny; quiet but easy drives to rest of the island. THANKYOU for a wonderful stay.

Great location, amazing views, top facilities.

We loved our stay here. It was ideal for our family group with loads of space and separate bathrooms for each bedroom. The views are superb and no matter the weather, just looking out at the ever changing vista was entertainment in itself. With decks front and rear it was possible to always be reasonably out of the breeze. The kitchen is fully equipped and the walk in pantry even had some basic supplies in case you have forgotten anything. Sunset Bay Escape is an ideal base for exploring all that South Bruny has to offer, which is a great deal.

What a view

First time on Bruny and chose this place as it looked great and next to the pub. As soon as we opened the front door we were in awe by the view. 2 bedrooms and the whole living area have the same spectacular view. We only used main bedroom and the bed was super comfy. Took a while to get the house heated up but thats the price you pay for floor to ceiling views. If we get back to bruny we will def stay again

Lovely stay in convenient location

Great house with amazing views, with a well equiped kitchen and some toys for the kids. The house was just a 5 minute walk to the general store, Hotel Bruny, liquor store and a calm beach, which my children visited daily. It did get very hot in the afternoons, especially if the blinds were left open, but this is just the consequence of one entire side of the house being walked in glass! Every room had an Airconditioning unit though. Our host, Mark, was very responsive to all queries and easy to contact. Thanks again for a great stay.

Wenn der Preis hoch ist, darf man pingeliger sein und Gutes erwarten.

Die Lage ist wirklich toll, das kommt auch in den Bildern der Anzeige rüber. Die Eigentümer haben auch in etliche Details investiert wie 3 Klimageräte, eine Barrista De Longhi Maschine. Spülmaschine, Außengrill, großer TV. Die schwarze Designer Liege ist fertig - der Kunstlederüberzug ist fast vollständig abgeflockt in der Sonne. Außensitz-Rattan-Möbel aus Kunststoff sind wohl mit massivem Holztisch neu, aber leider defekt. (Hab sie mit eigenem Isolierband notrepariert zum Sitzen.) Die Kaffeemaschine wäre toll, aber schlecht gewartet. Irgendwas klemmt im Mahlwerk, so können Kaffeebohnen nur in gröbster Stufe geschrotet werden. Schade - ist Sache des Housekeepings, das zB auch keine Spülmaschinentabs bereitlegt. Wenigstens ein Feuerholzanzünder lag da, aber kein Spanholz oder Papier zum Anzünden, nur eine schwere Axt draußen beim Holz (Verletzungsgefahr!!!). Ich habe den Eindruck, die Eigentümer können selten vor Ort sein, also müssen Sie sich auf das Housekeeping verlassen können. Das scheint weniger gut zu klappen, wenn beispielsweise die Glasschiebetür in einem Schlafraum nicht verriegelt war bei unserer Ankunft. Oder ein Stück vom Deko-Balsaholz-Fisch auf dem Nachttisch liegt. Ich hatte Klebstoff dabei und mich erbarmt. Aber wenn ich einen 5-Sterne-Preis aufrufe, dann muss ich auch 5 Sterne liefern. Vielleicht schon mal Holz im Kamin als Beispiel. Es gab genügend Küchenvorräte wie Öl,Reis, Gewürze, Nudeln, das war toll. Und viel Waschmittel für die WaMa. Die Matratzen mies
