We loved the bush location near the water. The separate bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and outdoor firepit pavilions accessed by wooden walkways made this a different holiday experience, even in the inclement weather.

“A perfect place for 2”
This is a wonderfully relaxing place to stay on Bruny Island, for one or 2 people. Kaoru is a small and cosy accommodation option, with 3 small separate pods on a deck facing the channel. Facilities are clean and all amenities are provided for self catering. Atsuko is a friendly and generous host.

“Beautiful natural environment with comfortable and spotless accommodation.”
Stunning location right on the channel so sunsets magnificent. Interesting arrangement of separate living areas. Glad it was not freezing as was best to be able to spend time outside. So many little nooks and crannies to sit and relax. Eco facilities which worked well. Hosts super accommodating with extras we needed and gave us introductions on how to use the spaces. Surrounded by Nature at its best!

“A magical retreat - and also really convenient too.”
Staying at Kaoru is magical. It was so beautiful to sit and read on the verandah, or kitchen bench facing the ocean. It's gorgeously designed and immaculately kept. Their care for their guests is exceptional. I felt so nourished and relaxed after my visit.

Location and outlook are amazing. The little cabins are cute and cosy. We especially liked sitting at the kitchen bench and looking out over the water. The coffee pod machine was an unexpected treat! We had visits from multiple wallabies in the mornings and evenings.
