2nd stay here and looking forward to the next one. Great location, central to everything on the Island. Peaceful and best of all, you get it all to yourself. A reminder to people, please don't litter. Leave the camp better than you found it so everyone can enjoy these amazing places.

Quiet, private bush camp to base from whilst exploring the island! The site was clear, flat and a beautiful fireplace with wood was available. At night we watched the wallabies and tasmanian chickens come out. Beautiful spot!

Peaceful, private and quiet - Rare

Tent · Group trip

Awesome camp spot. Peaceful, private and quiet which is rare to find on Bruny. Roger was incredibly generous with firewood and the site was level, well maintained and absolutely beautiful. The native Birdlife is stunning and will definitely be back.
