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

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

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.
