About this property
White-bellied Sea Eagle Studio
A Unique Nature Retreat in Kettering Experience a one-of-a-kind escape in the heart of Tasmania’s bushland. Nestled in Kettering, the gateway to Bruny Island, this private studio shares its peaceful setting with the renowned Raptor Refuge—a sanctuary dedicated to the rescue and conservation of Tasmania’s birds of prey.
Inspired by Tasmania’s iconic raptors, our two private accommodation studios—the Wedge-tailed Eagle Studio and the White-bellied Sea Eagle Studio—celebrate the beauty and power of these majestic birds. This listing features the White-bellied Sea Eagle Studio, thoughtfully themed around its namesake.
Designed with soft grey tones and elegant natural textures, the White-bellied Sea Eagle Studio exudes calm and sophistication. It showcases stunning raptor artwork, including a captivating portrait of the White-bellied Sea Eagle by Katherine Cooper, creating a deep connection to the surrounding wilderness.
