A beautiful house well presented by Jackie and Jeff, who welcome you on your arrival. Located in the middle of the bush.it’s a relaxing place to visit with great attention to detail including the provision of socks to compliment the ‘no shoes inside policy’. A great spot for birdwatching. We were even visited by a curious Quoll on our first evening, in addition to the pademelons and wallabies.The house even has provision for EV charging. Absolutely recommended.

We all loved the spotless, clean house, the beautiful view, and the relaxing surroundings. This house feels safe, and it was like a second home to us for our stay.The kids really enjoyed playing outside in the front yard and watching wallabies at dusk and dawn. This is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been to. It was so lovely to see both Jackie & Jeff when we arrived. We all loved the warm welcome. We would love to visit again and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Family visit

As usual, we enjoyed our stay (3rd time) and this time had family stay with us who enjoyed it as well. Our host was lovely, the accommodation excellent and the wildlife we saw this time was phenomenal - quolls, wallabies, potoroos, red robins, green rosellas, currawongs and echidnas.

It is always a delight to have you two stay, Val. This was a longer stay, and I'm pleased you were immersed in our wildlife, and had time to explore more of Bruny Island. A holiday in the bush brings peace as well as the excitement of seeing the animals and exploring the bush itself.

I enjoyed welcoming you and your friends Janene. I’m so glad you all enjoyed your stay at Echidna on Bruny and would welcome you all back to explore Bruny even further. Or you could sit on Echidna’s deck surrounded by the bush and enjoy the peace and animals, as you mentioned in the visitor’s book.
