Mays Creek Cottage

In the living area there is a real fire in an enclosed stove, and the living and dining areas are part of one open-plan room. You can watch the flat-screen television from the comfort of a modern sofa, and as well as a DVD player Mays Creek Cottage cottage has a library for the bookworms among you. In the kitchen you have the use of an oven, a stove top, a microwave, a full-size fridge, an electric kettle and coffee-making equipment, all the cutlery and cookware you will need, plus a good deal of work space. Laundry facilities complete the picture.

A separate dining table with seating for six sits between the kitchen and lounge area, and the property has plenty of natural light coming in through the very large windows. The water and hills can be seen across the garden, and as well as free parking you have a free continental breakfast included in your stay. In fact, despite the fact that this is a cottage rather than a B&B, there are concierge facilities as well as ticket and tour-booking assistance.

Other points worth mentioning are that it includes an iron and ironing board, a ceiling fan, space for the storage of luggage, and the pet-free property is designed in such a way that it is accessible to wheelchair users.

The whole of Bruny Island can be explored from Mays Creek Cottage, with some of the nearer places of interest being South Bruny National Park, Bruny Island Neck Game Reserve and, less than ten minutes away by car, Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Boat trips courtesy of Bruny Island Cruises and aerial views courtesy of Island Scenic Flights are ways of seeing the island from a different angle, and there are myriad hiking routes where you can take in the stunning beauty of the place, especially worth exploring if you are a birdwatcher.
