Australia Holiday Getaway on Bruny Island, Tasmania

The kitchen is equipped with an oven and a stove top, a grill, a toaster, a microwave, a refrigerator and a dishwasher, and you have all the essential equipment for making coffee, plus various dishes, utensils and pantry items. When it comes to consuming the fruits of your culinary labours, there is seating for up to twelve, as well as a high chair if you have a very young guest with you.

As well as the all-important internet access and television (with satellite and cable channels), this holiday home has a games room with a table-tennis set, various board games, some children’s toys, a Cubby house, a collection of books for adults and for children, and a stereo. For the active among you, four kayaks are provided, and you can take to the water without having to lug them any great distance. The property also has a large garden, veranda and patio area, where you can make use of the gas-fired barbecue set. A wood-fuelled fireplace adds to the charm.

Should you prefer to eat out, the Bruny Hotel Restaurant and Pub is close by, as is a bottle shop, Bruny Island Cafe, a general store and a pharmacy. There is also Avalon and Bruny Art and Craft Gallery, plenty of bush-walking, bird-watching and driving trips possible from your getaway on the island, and after a short walk or drive to Alonnah you will find plenty of pristine white sandy swimming beaches to enjoy.
