“Cosy, comfortable and a great location.”

Excellent central location. The cottage was very well equipped for self catering. The bed was comfortable with good quality linen. Only a few meters from the Bread Fridge and the sourdough bread was delicious. Excellent communication with Karen the host.

“A pleasant place to stay and relax!”

The cottage was in a perfect location it’s sort of midway on the island and this made it easy for us to travel about and sight see. I enjoyed my stay at the cottage. It was a peaceful place and I appreciated the nature surrounding the cottage…. .

“Cozy and comfortable and a great location.”

Location. Central to both ends of this beautiful island. Great WiFi. Totally comfortable. Air con and heat. An open fireplace if that’s your thing. A few hundred metres to the famous bread fridge. 10 minutes drive to the Neck. Wildlife wandering at dawn and day an outside your door. This cottage is rustic and may take a little adjustment for some people, but once you get used to it you’ll love it.

“Our stay was enjoyable and restful.”

The cottage was comfortable and very well equipped. The location was excellent and although on the main road, we didn’t notice the traffic. It was easy to contact the owner who responded promptly. We had a most enjoyable stay and would happily rent the cottage again.

The games provided and books provided. We'll equipped kitchen.

“Well equipped comfortable cottage with lovely hosts”

Lovely little well equipped cottage (including laundry, fireplace, electric blanket) on the South Island of Bruny. Stylish and comfortable, good location for exploring both islands. Stephen and Karen are lovely attentive hosts - great communication prior to arrival and Stephen stopped by to make sure we’d settled in well and to give recommendations for dinner and things to do.

“It was cold, windy and wet, but we were warm inside and in the middle of the island!”

Fire in the evening! Had all we needed to cook and live! It was cosy and warm! Just down the road from the bread fridges!

“Comfortable, relaxing, quiet.”

Offered everything needed for our 4 day getaway. Enjoyed the surrounding wildlife including evening sightings of white wallabies.

“Very enjoyable.”

Whole house, so plenty of space. Kitchen was well provisioned. Aircon and wood-burning stove both available for heating.

“Comfortable bed close to food outlets and restaurant, but not high on my list for future stays”

Bed was comfortable, kitchen faciliteis were more than plentiful

“Calm bush setting”

Location - in well-treed area away from any hustle and bustle. The roadside Bread Fridge nearby was interesting and smelled good even when all the bread was gone.

“Lovely stay for a couple”

Everything was provided for a lovely stay

“Excellent accommodation, owner was very helpful”

Very central to all attractions

“Everything we wanted”

Everything. It was cosy. Located in bush land, walking distance from the bread spot, a short drive to other key features . Fire had been set and spare wood stacked. Cottage was well supplied eg cosy bed and towels, cleaning and cooking items. Owner very helpful. Fabulous little verandah orientated perfectly for morning sun.

“Loved it”

Location on main road, but noise not an issue as all traffic seemed to cease by 2200.

“A quaint old cottage with country charm in close proximity to Bruny Island's scenic coast and forest”

The cottage was as we expected, a typical old country "beach house" but in the bush. Location on the main Bruny road was close to many activities, especially walks in the bush and along the coast. The cottage was roomy with large kitchen area and lounge room. Laundry facilities were good and shower, although small, provided plenty of hot water. Location at Allonah had a pub and small store plus post office. A much larger general store is located at Adventure Bay, a 15 minute drive. A feature of the cottage is the wood fire, which we used every night and adds to the old world ambiance.

Location was fantastic,was very good area close to all thing we wanted. Cosy comfortable bed,very clean,wonderful fire 🔥 that kept us very warm on a couple of cold nights, kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to cook,large fridge.We were wise with water as they only have tank water and need rain to fill and haven't had much lately.We took our own water for drinking,.Karen was lovely to communicate with and responded very Quickly on anything I wanted to know.It really felt like home away from home.

Enjoyed staying at Aruma Cottage. Everything was provided in kitchen and bathroom for our needs. The shower water was hot, great and maybe unexpected with tank supply. Perfectly clean, love the farmstyle kitchen. Karen was prompt in any requests and access to house was explained well. Location was great with beautiful views and easy to get to Bruny cruise terminal to get to our Wildlife cruise.
