Bruny Island Coastal Retreats is passionate about the preservation and celebration of the Island’s extraordinary beauty and rich cultural landscape. The stewardship of our land and the wildlife that inhabit it are our highest priority. We cater for guests who share these values and who seek the “tonic of wildness” - away from the crowds, the endless shops, and the clamor of city life. Bruny Island is a microcosm of the Tasmanian mainland. It is blessed with an extraordinarily diverse range of distinct environments - spectacular coastlines, geological wonders, beaches, rainforests, mountains, lagoons, abundant flora and fauna - an environmental cornucopia; all at your doorstep! Our properties fully encompass this environmental diversity offering a range of spectacular settings for communing with the Island’s elemental splendour. Henry David Thoreau’s quote, “I have a room all to myself; it is nature...”, wonderfully encapsulates the experience we aim to evoke. In keeping with this ethos, we enthusiastically support individuals, organisations, and projects that work to protect the cultural and environmental characteristics that make Bruny Island the very special place it is.

Gracing the shores of Little Taylors Bay is a fisherman’s cottage with a twist, commonly known as the round house because of its unique design features. Taylors Cottage looks out towards Huon Island and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Here, you can sit on the deck and enjoy the tranquil waters of Little Taylors Bay, just as the great explorer Baudin and the crews of the Geographie and the Naturaliste did in 1802. This unique waterfront cottage situated on the shores of Little Taylors Bay is suited for groups of up to 4 people. The open design of the cottage allows grand views of Little Taylors Bay from the open plan kitchen and lounge room. The cottage features a well appointed kitchen. Guests may enjoy meals or refreshments at the indoor/outdoor tables and watch the sun set over Little Taylors Bay. The lounge area has a comfortable leather lounge with a wood fireplace for those cooler days and nights. There are two bedrooms, with beds that can be configured for 4 single beds or one king bed and 2 single beds.There is a single shared bathroom with laundry facilities. The location is perfect for birdwatching and photographers. Young families enjoy wandering the safe shallow shore

The Bruny locals are friendly and care greatly for the environment. A great mix of artists and artisan are found locally. Many of the locals are found at the Friday night meat raffle. Watch out for a music session once a month at Hoppy's jamboree or the easter wood chop is a great event. The Island has a surf classic and a bird festival. The Bruny art prize is gaining great momentum also and has run for several years. In other words something for everyone or perhaps you want to find your own space and get away from it all. Thats a common thing down south.. Space!
