    "Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land. This is your perfect lunawuni/Bruny Island escape! It is tucked away from the no-through gravel road and surrounded by Australian bush and wildlife with filtered water views of D'Entrecasteaux Channel and 100 m from the beach. It's a tranquil heaven yet so close to all the famous Bruny sites and must dos: Bruny oysters, beer and cheese (why not bring some to the campsite to enjoy?) The Neck, Truganini Lookout + penguins! Cape Queen Elizabeth Track and other hiking trails Adventure Bay and *white wallabies (*we give you a map on where to go to find the white wallabies!!) South Bruny, and the Light house When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course. As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite! Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots. To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her. The campsite is a perfect spot to see wildlife, and birds, and for photography. On the campsite is a large outdoor kitchen with two sinks. Wait... is there a bathtub? Yes! The bathtub is great for a bush shower (byo solar shower) as the taps are not connected. You must bring your own toilet. Rainwater is available too, we have two tanks! Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species. We love the quolls and know you will too so please do not disturb their homes. The site is excellent for stargazing once nightfall arrives. Simply BYO a hammock (we have prepared the setup!) and lie down to watch the stars with a glass of red or a hot chocolate. We recommend campervans for the site and it's only suited to self-contained campers leaving no trace behind. Available on-site and free to use are also a director's chair and a table. The kitchen is also equipped with a double sink, dish rack, two buckets, BBQ tools, cutlery, and a dustpan. There is also a cleaning kit with biodegradable spray, hand sanitizer, and soap. There are also a set of caravan/van leveling ramps and chocks for you to freely use. The site is perfect for those wishing to find privacy amongst an otherwise busy Island. Escape the tourists and experience Bruny Island like a local. Questions? Please reach out!This is a private campsite, we only accept one booking at a time, meaning you'll have the camp to yourselves. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ Car/Caravan size: longer than 7m? No problems. Simply send a DM before booking to confirm you are ok to park your set up ☺️ About Quoll Hideaway: The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land.

    Very peaceful private spot with a quick walk to the beach at Apollo bay. Linda is a very friendly host and the use of the deck and undercover kitchen is a great addition. Will come again thanks

    Convenient and peaceful

    Very convenient camp close to ferry for first night on Bruny. Great bush “shower” and nice to have deck area. Unfortunately did not spot any Quolls as the March flies and mosquitoes kept us inside. However did have a very peaceful night.

    Amazing wildlife

    Nice spot close to ferry on North Bruny. Very quiet as you are the only guests. We saw a long nosed potaroo and adult spotted quoll one night. We also saw 3 baby quolls mutilple times being very playful and inquisitive. Was nice to be able to have a fire.

    Unfortunately I can’t recommend this property. Good points: lovely photos and description of wildlife, welcoming host and clear communcation, kitchen setup/structure. Detractors: it’s extremely over priced for what it is and compared to other options on Bruny. Our learning - you can find better camping sites all over Bruny even at peak times for a fraction of the price. This is a relatively uninteresting block vegetation-wise, relatively far from water, surrounded by other blocks, all with caravans. To be honest it felt like we’d landed in a subdivision with a glimmer of water in the distance, paying off someone’s weekender block. We didn't stay. I am sure the Quoll Hideaway would suit some people, maybe less experienced campers who really want a kitchen, and maybe it’s better in other seasons or for weekends. And the host was lovely! But it was 4 times the price of what we ended up staying in, and no where near the value. Hope this helps others.

    Linda's property is a peaceful haven, perfect for those who appreciate being in nature and peace and quiet. The description of the property was accurate, it was easy to find, and Linda was most friendly, accommodating and prompt with communication. If you own a hammock, there are clip points around two trees between which to hang it. We will bring ours next time! Lots of wildlife, beautiful eucalypt woodland, a lovely beach, and a coastal walking track. We are most grateful to Linda for sharing her property with us and hope to stay again sometime soon.
