Adventure Bay Retreat Bruny Island

We had an amazing stay at the lodge. It had everything we needed and beyond. The wildlife around the house is stunning. We wished we could’ve stayed longer.

What a fantastic space! We stayed in the studio which had everything we needed & really comfortable. The setting was amazing with a wonderful array of wildlife. It was a really convenient place to stay on Bruny Island, being close to a beautiful beach, the cruises, supplies and was very central.

Such a gorgeous little cabin in the woods. Was incredible to be surrounded by so many animals and so secluded. Had a full kitchen and fridge which made it easy to make some food being so remote

We stayed at Adventure Bay Retreat and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, you have a washing machine for convenience, and I think that my favourite thing was the wallabies, I counted about 16 one day, most of them had a baby in the pouch. We also saw an echidna not far from the back of the cabin, nosing around the bush. The process was simple and easy to come and go as we pleased. My husband caught some squid from the jetty up the road, they were delicious. The company that does the cruise around the island is well worth the money, it was fantastic and the staff on the boat very experienced boatmen. If you want peace and nature then this is your place, we loved it and the little local shop is very handy, we bought the lamb chops, and they were very tender and delicious. The oyster shack is well worth the visit, yum.

The cottage is absolutely idyllic! It's cosy and comfortable and beautifully appointed, with stunning views from every window and wildlife right on your doorstep - wallabies and their joeys, birdlife galore. It was wonderful and we could have stayed forever. The location is fabulous, close to the beach and the local shop and cafes, but tucked away from the main road (not that it's busy). All we could hear was the breeze in the trees and the waves crashing onto the nearby shore. Bruny Island is astonishing and the retreat was the perfect place to stay and unwind and just watch the magic of nature. Words don't do it - or the island - justice. It's a remarkable part of the world. We are already planning a return trip and will stay much longer next time, because it was honestly hard to leave. We loved every second.

Wow what a place to stay !!!!!! Will be telling others to stay here.

Adventure Bay Retreat is the perfect place to relax and explore Bruny Island. We stayed in the very well appointed Lodge which was great for 2 couples could accommodate 3 & 4 if you are happy to share (bunks) Everything you would want while sitting in front of the wood fire (we needed it in February- be prepared).

We adored staying in the ‘The Cottage’. It was absolutely gorgeous, so romantic, unique and luxurious! The view was lovely and we always had wallabies and birds to watch graze, even a white wallaby! The layout and fit out of the property was both beautiful and functional. The kitchen had everything we needed to be self sufficient and cook our own meals. We LOVED the spa and the view that came along with it. The tv didn’t have streaming capability which I would have expected for the price point but it had plenty of free to air channels and we loved the selection of DVDs to choose from! The fire place was fantastic and we were always super warm and cosy! Can’t recommend this stunning retreat enough!

We stayed in The Studio at Adventure Bay Retreat for four nights, it was definitely the highlight of our trip. Usually your accomodation while away is just somewhere to sleep, but at Adventure Bay Retreat it was somewhere you really looked forward to returning to each afternoon/evening. The Studio is set on the hill in a beautiful spot and the garden was full of Bennett's Wallabies each morning and evening, and some beautiful birds call the garden home as well. As a keen nature photographer, this was heaven for me. The Studio itself is a lovely little building and is well-appointed with a very comfortable king-size bed. Bruny Island is a very special place, and I couldn't recommend this accomodation any more highly.
