Wallaby Cottage - a peaceful Bruny Island retreat with a beautiful view

A comfortable weatherboard cottage overlooking Nebraska Beach, which is a few minutes walk away. Great view out over the D'entrecasteaux Channel from the decks at the front and side of the cottage. Ideal for a couple and two small children - or an extra two adults who don't mind sharing a small bedroom! The cottage is up a short but fairly steep gravel track - if you haven't got 4WD, just approach from the south, which avoids the sharp turn off Nebraska Road. Inside, there is one large main room, encompassing kitchen, dining area and lounge, all leading out via French doors onto the deck. On the mezzanine level, there is the main bedroom, with its own deck area outside French doors, a small bedroom with two single beds, bathroom with (very good) shower and washing machine, and separate toilet.
This is a family shack, rather than a smart purpose-built modern house. There is no air-conditioning or dishwasher. No internet either, although there is good mobile reception. Small TV/DVD player. But if you are looking for a house that's a comfortable retreat, close to the beach, sheltered from the wind, and with a beautiful deck area, it is a wonderful place to stay. Bird life and wildlife all around (that's why we say No Dogs!) - and unfortunately that may include mosquitoes in the summer months - buzzers and coils are in the cupboards. BBQ out on the deck for summer and a wood-burner for snuggling up inside in winter.

A beautiful retreat
This a truly beautiful place to stay in a quite magical location. The house is warm and welcoming with beautiful views of the sea, a lovely outdoor deck, and cosy corners for the cooler times. The beach, which is a perfect swimming beach and very family friendly, is a few minutes walk away. You will love it here, you will want to find a place of your own like it and never leave.

What an absolute delight
Lindsay made my friends and I feel so very welcome at her beautiful home. She left ingredients to make bread in her bread maker, and provided us with the transformation of the house in a little booklet that was so heartfelt and wholesome to see. There is a lot of love put into this place and we felt it everyday. I cannot recommend enough how lovely a stay it was. I will definitely be returning!

Bruny Island break
Loved staying at Wallaby Cottage. Very appropriately named as we saw several wallabies on the property during our stay. The home has everything you need while there. Make sure you bring all the food and drinks you want with you as the two general stores are on the south island, and the drives to them are not short.

Beautiful part of Tasmania!
Our stay at this property was fantastic! We loved the modern side of the property but loved that it still felt like a shack!! The deck was amazing when eating tea and sitting in the sun in the Afternoons! All in all we had a fantastic stay in comfort with a picturesque view! Thank you very much!

Wallaby Cottage, Dennes Point, Bruny Island
This was exactly what I was hoping for, and more! Beautiful location and stunning views. The host provided excellent information about the island and everything you would need to know about the house, getting around etc. The communication was prompt, helpful and friendly. While Dennes Point is a bit of a drive away from a number of the Islands attractions, I loved the fact that I was away from most of the main tourist crowd and didn’t mind the driving. I’d say it may be back on my list of ‘must return’ places. Bruny Island is stunningly beautiful and its nature appears well respected. The information about its natural environment, its history, including Indigenous people, was great to be able to access.
