Guest Reviews

• Michele (9/5): Loved our short stay here. We are hoping to come back. - The deck, the views, the bathtub in the bedroom, the whole house and location. A few nails on the deck protrude.
• Selena (9/5): A relaxing stay, beautiful location, well maintained property - Location, comfortable, clean Pegs would be handy for washing
• Rebecca (10/5): Beautiful home with stunning views - Absolutely beautiful property with amazing views. Very clean & great location for exploring Bruny Island. Loved that lots of wallabies came into the yard at dusk & dawn. Close to the Bruny Hotel which was fantastic for meals. Highly recommend this property. Nothing
• Peter (9/5): Excellent base for exploring Bruny Island - We used Couples Getaway for a four-night stay. It exceeded our expectations. Spacious for two people with good separation of the bedroom if someone wanted to sleep in. Very workable bathroom. Laundry (with clothes horse but no pegs) was very useful given our multi-day stay. Owners were kind enough to provide a generous amount of breakfast cereals (coco pops, corn flakes and Just Right) and a well stocked pantry (including some olive oil and balsamic vinegar). Good kitchen facilities. Good heater facilities - no need to worry about chilly Tasmanian days and nights. Nothing. I would happily stay at Couples Getaway again.
• Anet (10/5): Stunning views, modern and very comfortable -
• Caitlin (10/5): Great couples retreat! - Amazing views, excellent location and great bathtub! No food/drink venues within walking distance. Had to drive.
• Guest (10/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): Great retreat - Location and views excellent Nothing
• Virginia (10/5): Lovely location, facilities - very quiet & comfortable. - Adding a yoga mat & roller would be nice 👍
• Lisa (10/5): -
• Micallef (9/5): - Exceptionally well kept and clean
• Connie (10/5): Wonderful outlook and a great location to explore Bruny Island. - Beautifully thought out accommodation and a brilliant location. The bed could be improved with a standard base.
• Lecra (9/5): Amazing views from the house, we loved Bruny Island. - Loved the bath, nice to have a soak after hiking. Great views across the water to Satellite Island. The sofa is really comfortable too. Also, great to have a washing machine and full kitchen plus complimentary breakfast items (cereal etc). On our first night we sat on the deck with a glass of wine watching the sunset and the visiting wallabies/pademelons. Unfortunately, it was too windy to sit out on the following nights, but the big windows still allow great sunset views. Although the bed is comfortable, the bed is high and the wooden surround is very wide. I had to shuffle off the mattress onto the wooden surround, then to the edge in order to put my feet on the ground to get out of bed. Not easy in the night, especially for a short person, and could be quite challenging for an older person.
• Kay (10/5): -
• Mikayla (10/5): Fantastic experience, will definitely recommend to others!!! - An amazing spot, super close to everything!!
• Carol (9/5): Beautiful base to explore Bruny Island - Great little apartment with stunning view of the ocean. Walking distance to the local pub and central location for other tourists attractions. Would highly recommend this accommodation. Just to note there is a narrow bench alongside the bed on each side. This didn’t cause us any issues but could be awkward for some when getting in/out of bed.
• Julia (9/5): Would thoroughly recommend to recharge - Absolutely had a lovely relaxing time, everything was well thought out. Loved seeing the wallabies on the back lawn, very quiet. Just the tap in the bathroom needs attention. Mozzies were a bit of a pain, spray available
• Jun (9/5): Very enjoyable stay. -
• Nicole and Philip (8/5): -
• Motoharu (8/5): ひどい - ロケーションも良く清潔 宿泊前に何も連絡が無く、現地で鍵の受渡しがあると思っていたところ、誰もいない。宿に入ることもできなかった。電話が無いため連絡も取れず途方に暮れていたところ、お隣の方に助けてもらい宿に入ることができた。あの助けが無かったら旅はとんでもないことになっていた
• Tracey (9/5): Relaxing and peaceful - Location great Lovely and quiet Property had everything we needed Was missing a dishwasher
• Primmer (10/5): Amazing stay, the place was absolutely beautiful. The recommendations of things to around the area was very helpful -
• Dianne (10/5): A truly beautiful house with everything you could possibly require for a comfortable stay. - Beautiful views and very well set out. Breakfast cereal was supplied which was lovely. Great view of the bay from main bedroom and living area. Beautiful wildlife wandering on property. Definitely worth the stay.
• B.M. (10/5): Perfect - Compleet plaatje. Niets
• Carolyn (9/5): - Fully equipped house with everything you need. Great location & close to the Bruny Hotel. Beautiful views! Very large bed frame makes it difficult to get in & out of!!??
• Cherie (10/5): -
• Steven (10/5): Home away from home - loved it - House immaculate, views amazing and all facilities provided. Would highly recommend!
• Kate (10/5): Great location with loads of space to chill - Super clean and great layout. Kitchen setup was great and enjoyed the large couches to spread out after a long day of walking. Bed was super comfy and there was a massive bath which we would have loved to have used but didn't get time. Taps are a bit annoying to navigate.
• Ann (10/5): -
• vikki (9/5): -
• Rob (10/5): -
• Mandy (10/5): Romantic, well appointed house. Loved the beautiful finishes and decorating. - Amazing view and such a well appointed home. The deck at dusk was gorgeous and a great place to have a drink and nibbles, even in winter! Walking distance to the Bruny Hotel. A washer/dryer would have been good. However we washed the clothes and hung them on the supplied clothes rack and they dried quickly with the wind and sun.
• Natalie (10/5): -
• Julie (9/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed plus incredible views. - Location was excellent with superb views and close proximity to hotel for meals if needed. .Enjoyed seeing wildlife in the garden. Very clean and comfortable. Perfect for a couple. Correspondence and information from owner very helpful. Appreciated the breakfast cereal . Thank you for a lovely stay Great information was provided in an email about places to eat and see. Perhaps a little booklet at the house would be helpful.
• Daryl (9/5): - Great location. Comfortable house - well heated. Outlook from the bath was sensational. Nothing
• Tammy (10/5): Beautiful place to stay in with spectacular views. - Beautiful place to stay with gorgeous views of the bay. Well equipped to cater for all your needs. Owners great communicators. Comfy bed and beautifully furnished. Bed was a little difficult to get in and out of but a minor fault compared to how beautiful the rest of the house was.
• Korg85 (10/5): - Gorgeous views, easy check in, great space and amenities The platform around the bed is hard to navigate but not that bad
• Penny (10/5): Perfect location, beautiful property. - I highly recommend this property. Location is beautiful the house is beautiful, owner provided helpful tips of places to eat and things to do. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.
• Abigail (9/5): -

• Robyn (9/5): Superb - Took too long to get confirmation of booking.
• Daniel (10/5): Spectacular view, clean house and well supplied room. - The view is amazing. The main bedroom is wonderful to wake up in and see the view over the channel. The house was meticulously clean and well supplied. Nil although a throw or blanket in the lounge room would be a nice little touch when cooler
• Kerry (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable Having to leave

• Chantseva (10/5): Excellent place for couples, very romantic and reasonable price! - The best thing about this place is the idea to have a bath in a bedroom;) great view from the window!!! Nice and clean, good location.
• Debra (10/5): Absolutely loved the place with every aspect of it. View beyond beautiful - Everything about the place. Close to all attractions and beautiful view. Place stocked with basics which was great. Nothing
• Stephen (10/5): Fantastic!! Thanks so much!! - We couldn't have asked for a more well appointed, beautiful place!!
• Carr (10/5): Exceptional - Accomodation was amazing, very well laid out. Bedroom with bath 😊 view to die for. 100% recommend for a night stay to a month. Didn’t want to leave. Owners had all the little extras you would never get at most accomodation.
• Toni (9/5): Great house and great location . - Location was great , very clean and comfortable with fabulous views . Nothing to not like. Just a suggestion from a kitchen equipment a serving board / platter for cheeses and some microwave dishes for preparing food .
• Sharlai (10/5): A great spot to chill out or use as a base to explore! - Beautiful spot, loved the bath. Great size and all the amenities you could want (cooking equipment, pantry staples etc) The bed did sag quite a bit which made for a bit of tossing and turning.
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful views and the bath excellent 😍
• Frances (10/5): Magical, soaked every minute up! - Couldn't have asked for a better place to call home for a couple of days, my only regret is we didn't stay longer! The wild life on arrival to the cloud like bed and stunning views from the bath and balcony. It was magic. Honestly everything was perfect. I have no complaints at all.
• Abigail (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rb (9/5): Second stay and just as wonderful. - Great amenities, nice selection of cereals and condiments for self-catering provided. The eggs were lovely and fresh and an unexpected bonus. Location was perfect and the views were gorgeous and the quiet was so good for the soul. And having a family of wallabies there to meet us on arrival, and come and feed every evening was such treat. It was spot on. Would certainly stay here again.
• Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debbie (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (9/5): The evening visits of pademelons and wallabies to the back yard of the property were a highlight. - Comfortable spacious and well appointed cabin accommodation. Wooden surrounds of double bed with inconvenient access to sleeping surface.
• Jane (7/5): We enjoyed our time here, but it didn't make our top 20 places in our 2 months of travelling. - There was no wifi, which I hadn't realised (my fault) and we were both working while away, so it was a problem for us. There was wide wooden shelf around the bed which was difficult to navigate. My husband found it especially difficult as he has mobility difficulties and he ended up sleeping on the sofa (which was very comfortable, so not a deal breaker!). So the house is therefore probably better for those younger and more mobile than us - and I think the climb into the bed should be mentioned in the property description. We felt the towels provided were very small - more like hand towels, so not great for the shower. The garden was a bit uncared for. Other than these few points, it was a great location and 100% clean, which we very much appreciated - and very spacious for just two people and well equipped.
• E (9/5): Private and peaceful cabin - Easy to find using address & gps, simple tasteful furnishing, well equipped kitchen & laundry room, some basic breakfast items, bed/bathtub overlooks street & ocean, veranda with view of water, extremely spacious for 2pax, living area could host 4-6 pax, many wallabies/pademelons in backyard No wifi/internet, had some issue with the living room heater but resolved quickly, missing shampoo
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Everything we needed and very clean. Great location and views.
• Jan (9/5): Would look elsewhere when revisiting Bruny. - Excellent views, modern one bedroom house. Bed frame was completely ridiculous- anyone >60 or with any type of reduced mobility could not get into bed. We did many walks, climbed 240 steps at lookout, climbed to top of lighthouse with no problems at all, BUT couldn’t get into the bed. Slept on the antiquated lounge . Needs a king size mattress to perhaps (?) minimise the bed issue, and needs a new lounge suite. Otherwise it was great!! Above. Apart from the bed (and lounge suite) it was a superb retreat. Padymelons in the yard were gorgeous.
• Deanne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Holly (10/5): Romantic & Cosy - Amazing bath, views and location. Love the wildlife too.
• William (10/5): Exceptional -
• Greg (10/5): Exceptional - Great communication and ease of access
• Ralph (9/5): Spacious house in central location. - Very comfortable, modern, and well-equipped house in a great central location on Bruny. Pantry and fridge were stocked with cereals and basic staples. Nice view over the water and lots of wildlife visiting the yard each evening. Close to the hotel which provides very good meals, which are also available as take-away. Some minor irritations are noted below, but overall a great place to stay. No wifi, but it was one of the few places in Tassie where we actually had mobile data coverage on our phones, so it wasn't a problem. As other reviews have noted, the bed and its surrounding box-like structure is a little challenging and definitely requires a degree of agility to get in and out of bed. Not for everyone. The large deck overlooking the water gets full sun through the afternoon and evening, so if the weather is hot, as it was for us, it's not very comfortable, unfortunately.
• Stephen (10/5): Couples getaway bruny😍 - It was very accomdating like you came home to total relaxation and everything was there even down to the well equipped pantry and warmth of the place,will definitely make sure to spread the love of this abode.would book again into the future 😊 Nothing to report at all
• Jane (10/5): Just Amazing - Loved the view. I liked everything about the house. Wildlife were amazing in the yard. Pub is the only place for meals. They are lovely. I wholly recommend staying here. The Pennicott Wilderness cruise out in the bay and getting to see a whale was amazing. The cliffs and caves were spectacular. Could of stayed longer Not having a dryer for clothes
• Beverly (10/5): Beautiful, comfortable place to stay with amazing view - Very clean and comfortable, plenty of room, amazing views
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and modern. Loved the big windows are views overlooking the water. Very good value for money .
• Aoife (10/5): Exceptional - The home itself is so cosy and has a lovely layout with stunning views. Great location, excellent facilities, very well stocked, bath is fantastic and we got to see loads of wallabies in the yard! There's nothing we disliked!
• Darren (8/5): Beautiful home, clean and comfortable. Beautiful views. Cute animal visitors. - Beautiful views. Cute animal visitors in yard each night. Lovely idea having breakfast cereals and small pantry available. Home clean and comfortable. Lovely home. Didn't like wooden frame around the bed. Difficult to get on bed and kept bumping into it.
• Donna (9/5): Luxury house stay in idyllic location - Stunning house with a great view, well equipped kitchen and quiet location - ideal for a peaceful getaway. Loved everything - having wifi would have been a bonus.
• Janine (7/5): Good -
• Stacey (10/5): Very relaxing - The property was perfect. Absolutely stunning views and quiet street. Walking distance to tavern, beach walks. Nothing
• John (9/5): Awesome place with great views. - Fantastic spacious place with good facilities and provisions. Walking in it felt like a new house, surprised to read that it is 10 years old. Only negative was that the bed was booked as a "King Size" but it was a Queen.
• Mona (10/5): Totally recommend! - Fantastic, modern, clean and beautiful location. Nothing was fantastic
• John (8/5): Very relaxing location. - Great location and views. Very well equipped. Perhaps double bed side structure.
• Benetta (9/5): Fantastic getaway - The view was amazing, such a great spot, it was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, great bath with a view!
• Oz-traveller65 (10/5): Fantastic sunset view. - Since the property is at the high side of the street, sea view from the room, balcony and front lounge was fanstastic. Enjoyed the sunset there and we were also lucky enough to see the Aurora Australis from the balcony. That's quite memorable. Climbing in and out of the bed was difficult with the wide wooden bed edge. Also there were lots of roo droppings all around the apartment, very easy to step on them at night.
• Cinta (10/5): Views and comfort! - Amazing view, absolutely stunning. Warm comfortable house, everything you need.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - Almost everything. No milk in the fridge. Hard to find the right property iat night. Honestly, Having to leave - such a gorgeous place.
• Kathy (9/5): Great location, lovely modern home. Just need to make some changes with the lounge & easier access to the bed. - Property was very clean & location was great. For a couple in our 50’s we didn’t like the wide wooden bed surround. With the wooden surround it was very difficult to get in & out of the bed. You have to climb onto the wood surround on your knees which hurt to get into the bed, then carefully climb or try to slide back over the wooden shelve to get out of bed. Also it was quite dangerous to navigate if you need to get up during the night. We would recommend the surround be removed, leaving bedside tables only. The lounge suit was way too low to the ground. The bed & lounge is not suitable for ageing people.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sundari (10/5): Gorgeous property with gorgeous views (and bath)!! - We got brekkie outside one day and the other day we cooked in. The property had nice tea and ground coffee collection, plus cereals bread and all kinds of milk (almond, oat, coconut and full cream) which saved us making any trips to the general store (closest general store is 8km away and closes @6). We also made dinner one night and and enjoyed it alot. The bathtub in the bedroom is quite a nice addition with lovely views! The property owners are quite nice too - I booked our stay for the wrong dates unfortunately and they were very supportive in accommodating us. There were ants in the toilet basin not sure why :(
• Iain (9/5): Superb -
• Ken (8/5): The ideal location to stay on Bruny Island for exploring all areas. - The location for exploring Bruny Island was fantastic! Views were to die for, both from the bedroom and living areas. The cottage was very well equipped and supplied, including a washing machine. Parking at the back door made it easy to enter the cottage. Although the bed was extremely comfortable, there is a wide timber seat/frame that surrounds the bed. The bed has been raised to take advantage of the views, however this surround makes it difficult to get into and out, of the bed. The lounge in the living room is super comfortable, but, is very low the floor. If you have issues with your knees it is extremely difficult to stand up from sitting.
• Francis (9/5): Superb -
• Amie (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect View was amazing to wake up to
• Elise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sally-ann (9/5): Superb - Gorgeous view. Smart stylish premises. All details attended to.
