South Bruny Island Retreat - Spa & Infrared Sauna
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway in Lunawanna, Bruny Island.
Overview: We have arguably the best equipped stay available for your adventure to the popular, beautiful and well-renowned Bruny Island. This property features an open plan home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, equipped super comfortable furnishings including two leather lounges, two king size beds, a fully equipped kitchen, coffee station, breakfast bar (stools facing kitchen), wood fire and heat pump/reverse cycle air conditioner which is very efficient and a games room with pool table, lounge with chaise, fridge and bar table with stools. Out the front you can enjoy the view with outdoor settings, a BBQ for the true Aussies amongst us, a fenced area and a screen for your privacy, so that you can enjoy the 6 seater spa and 2-3 person infrared sauna whilst looking out at the water - Making this the perfect choice for your Bruny Island getaway.
Connectivity We have high speed Starlink internet which is the best you'll find on the Island, as connectivity can be an issue on an isolated Island. For that reason we do ask guests to be patient with power outages etc, as these things can happen and it can take time to have them rectified due to the isolation. Luckily we have a wood heater to keep you toastie in case this is a problem during your stay. Generally we have been very lucky with our internet and power but we just like to let everyone be aware of what may be experienced with Island Life.
Pets (prior approval required) Your furry friends are welcome on request and for a small fee, and will be kept safe in the fenced area at the front of the house.

Everything you could want or need was there and easy to access, and clearly labelled. Helen was so great to communicate with before and during our stay. We’ll definitely look at rebooking.

Home away from home
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxed time in Bruny Island based at the Lighthouse Cottage. The house was very comfortable with nothing lacking either in utilities, linen and kitchen equipment and food basics. Helen and Tim were easy to communicate with and provided helpful local knowledge. I would highly recommend their place to others. Fiona and Dale January 2025

If you are into wildlife and birdwatching, as we are, this place had it all. One morning a wallabee the next an enchidna. Birds everywhere. The property is clean and comfortable, good WiFi and a good location. We loved it. Highly recommend
