Bruny coastal camping & Funky Barn

Situated on a small coastal farm on 8 acres above the cliffs of Adventure Bay, at the southern end of the neck beach, and in a central location for exploring Bruny Island.  Camping area and the barn are in a gently sloping pasture paddock with flat areas for camping.

Beautiful walks from the property, with just a five minute walk down to the spectacular sea cave, and a 10-15 minute walk through the light bush and along the picturesque cliff top coastline to the neck beach, where you can swim with the waves,  fish off the rocks, or go for an endless walk along the beach.

5 minutes drive to adventure bay's beautiful beaches which are safe for swimming and dog friendly, as well as the grocery store, restaurant, bowls club (for Friday and Saturday night meals).

If you love birds, there will be plenty of sounds to listen to from the trees. You might be lucky to see the wedge tail eagle hovering above. Resident banjo frogs live in the large pond in the corner of the paddock. 

The main house where we live part time is on the property, but you still have your own space and reasonable privacy. 

2 options available:

+  Camp site for just one group at a time in a relatively flat area with lovely ocean views. 

+ Or upgrade to an affordable lodging in a rustic but comfortable converted horse barn, double bed in the loft with clean linen provided, living and kitchen area. Magnificent ocean views from the lounge or when lying in bed next to the window upstairs.  Portable camping toilet is in the outhouse.

Dogs are subject to pre-approval,  and must be kept under control if our horses or dogs are on the property. Horses are usually only here during the winter months.  The property is fully fenced so there is plenty of space for your dog to run around and a large pond. 

And please don’t expect Airbnb standards if you chose to stay in the barn. Its is a fun affordable upgrade/escape from camping without the glamour and high fees of glamping.
