Guest Reviews
- Sonja (9/5): - Beautiful outlook over the bay. Well insulated with excellent amenities to allow the balcony to be enjoyed even in cold weather. Fireplace in living room was lovely while still enjoying the views. Would have liked to know how to recycle glass/plastic bottles or if this is just not an option on Bruny Island, as felt bad putting these directly into the rubbish bin.
- Nancye (6/5): Interestingly designed accommodation in a beautiful setting, slightly let down by avoidable practical issues. - Great location with wonderful water views. We were cold on arrival and the heater remote control wasn’t working, we suspect due to flat batteries, with no spares available onsite. Communication was difficult because there was no clearly listed mobile contact and messages through Booking.com went via email, so by the time someone responded we were already heading to bed. A few small practical details let down what is otherwise a fun property.
- Ruby (10/5): -
- Jayne (7/5): We enjoyed our stay but don’t think we will stay there again! - Location was amazing right on the bay Was a bit dark inside,and when it rained we could not use the BBQ because the rain was wetting the whole front deck
- Shane (10/5): Our Dome was incredible. Had everything you could ask for and more, 10/10. - Our Dome was incredible. Had everything you could ask for and more, 10/10. Great views too.
- Diederik (10/5): Interesting and quirky accommodation with amazing views - Interesting and quirky accommodation. Well appointed, peaceful, comfortable, and amazing views over the beach. Would like to have stayed longer. Common access for both bungalows affected privacy, particularly if staying in number 2.
- Estelle (10/5): One night in a beautifully decorated and cosy space - It was a fun place to stay. The hidden door was a surprise. The bath and the bed were awesome. The location was fantastic!
- Crystal (10/5): - Beautiful decor and comfortable very relaxing I loved everything
- IWONA (9/5): -
- Judith (9/5): - Beautiful and well appointed Directions were too vague (turnoff from road need clarification )
- Bill (10/5): Fabulous. Highly recommended - Stunning house and location. We saw albino wallabies in the driveway at night A teapot would have been nice
- BALLANTYNE (10/5): Relax, relax, relax. Perfect place to spend a night or two or even 3! What a homely and well quipped place to stay. - The difference to all other properties online. The view/position on the island. The 2nd sink in the separate BATH room (it only housed the bath!) was very welcome. The GIANT BATHroom.? Just thought maybe the bedroom could’ve used a little of the BATHroom space,
- Suzanne (7/5): The actual building was interesting but we didn’t feel we could relax properly. - View Isolated yet minimal provided. Tiny milk. Not welcoming. Other Airbnbs were amazing for less than half the money. At the price we paid we expected luxury.
- Jason (9/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): Super comfy and cozy accom with spectacular views - Beautiful accommodation in a great location with stunning views. The details in the description of how to access the unit were confusing. I paid $600 for 1 night - bit too exy, however, most places are on Bruny.
- Petr (10/5): -
- Scott (7/5): overall good but expected more for the price - clean and tidy. great location. uncomfortable furniture...no where to sit for drinking and eating...very hard uncomfortable chairs. poor lighting in bathroom. felt a bottle of local wine could have been left for us on arrival given price paid for stay. would have been nice to have some basic water sport equipment such as kayak or paddleboard to enable getting out on to the water nearby.

- Nicholls (9/5): Zen place with almost everything. - Well-appointed and great location. It would have been nice to have two comfortable chairs that could be sat on , both on the front deck to watch the sunset drinking a sundowner. And on the rear deck ,which had nothing on it at all.
Another small addition could have been kitchen scissors.
- David (8/5): Great location in a vert pleasant setting - Very accurately described and experienced "as said on the tin". Beds really comfortable, nice little extras such as tea/coffee/milk provided.

- Jiho (10/5): - Very good
- Heather (8/5): unique property in a beautiful location but could do with a spruce up. - Breakfast not included Wooden floors weren’t clean. Lots of surfaces were dusty, e.g, the bases of the bedside lamps. There wasn’t enough lighting in the bathroom. No comprehensive instructions on how to operate the oven or the washing machine / dryer. The outside decks didn’t look like they had been swept for months.

- Karen (8/5): -

- carmel (8/5): We loved the island and our stay here just a few little things that would have made it more comfortable. - Dome 2, Location was good, quirky and cosy with lovely garden, lovely outlook, comfortable beds. Location of PowerPoints in bedroom. Nowhere to store clothes, bed 2 bedside tables too low, shower head too low and can’t turn on before you get in, stools around bench uncomfortable, no paper towel, tissues or scissors supplied. Very dusty under bed (2) also sticky in one spot. Fridge turned up and froze everything had to throw a number of things out. Window cleaner came while we were there which made us uncomfortable.
- Jessica (8/5): Great apartment in a stunning location! - Location and view!! Decor
- Ramya (9/5): A beautiful treasure in Bruny! Hope it stays the same in the years to come. The host and their customer service was exce - I loved how elegant and clean this property is! Everything about the venue echoes all the themes of sustainability. Beautiful views too of the sea
- Simon (10/5): - I loved the outdoor balcony over looking the beach.
I love the access to the jetty and beach

- Christie (10/5): Beautiful cabin, amazing views, every amenity you could possibly want. Highly recommend! - The cabin was beautifully decorated, cosy, and comfortable. It had everything you could possibly need, including fast internet and a smart TV. The outside area overlooking the bay is sensational! The location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would absolutely stay again.
- Ben (1/5): - We were disappointed by the cleanliness and maintenance of this property, which was unexpected given the price.
Check-in was later than usual — not a major issue — but given that it’s promoted as supporting the cleaners, we expected a spotless stay. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
When we arrived, we were met with a strong seafood smell. After some searching, we found dried prawn shells on the balcony, the kitchen and more in the dishwasher. We opened up the doors to air it out and tried to make the best of it, but the odour persisted into the night.
The outdoor table still had dried sauce on it, and when we cleaned it ourselves, we could see it hadn’t been wiped properly for some time. The next morning, we discovered ants throughout the kitchen and spilled sugar and spices under the table runner — more of the same cleaning issues we're the final straw for us. We left early to move on with our trip.
Our kids found half-smoked cigarettes on the balcony too which was disgusting.
We did contact the host to flag the problem, but given they also manage the cleaning agency, we felt it best to raise the complaint through Booking.com.
It’s a real shame, as the property has potential to be lovely — but cleanliness and attention to detail need serious improvement before we’d consider returning or recommending it.
- Tanya (8/5): -
- Tony (7/5): Bruny Island - wonderful options. We enjoyed a warm place with great views to stay. - Location was very good. Appliances all good quality - incl bed linen. Almost felt claustrophobic! Too much variety in the building - different timber, tiles, light fittings, stone.......beading on timber / plaster joints, top glass
I didn't cope with small fridge and dishwasher, low and behind doors.
Nowhere to hang towels? When wet?
I thought the tub was going to be a spa - my incorrect reading!
Don't know about access to the sauna?
Nice garden, but in need of tidy up. I know it is winter, but...........
Just a bit disappointing especially for the
