Please note:
Paddock camping is temporarily unavailable until after the paddock has been cut for hay in late December
Situated on a small coastal farm above the cliffs of Adventure Bay, at the southern end of the neck beach, and in a central location for exploring Bruny Island
2 options available:
+ There is a Camp site available for just one group at a time in a relatively flat area with lovely views.
+ Or upgrade to an affordable comfortable lodging in a rustic but stylish converted horse barn, with a double bed in the loft, clean sheets provided, living and kitchen area. Magnificent ocean views from the lounge or when lying in bed next to the window upstairs.
The camp area and funky barn are in a peaceful location in a pasture paddock on 4 acres with lots of birdlife and walks nearby. It's a 10-15 minute walk through the property and along the picturesque cliff top coastline to the neck beach or just five minutes walk down to the sea cave. The main house where we live part time is on the property, but you still have your own space and privacy.
Dogs are subject to pre-approval, and must be kept under control if our horses or dogs are on the property. Horses are usually only here during the winter months. Dogs are not to be left inside or outside the barn unattended, without approval. The property is fully fenced so there is plenty of space for your dog to run around and a large pond.
And please don’t expect Airbnb standards if you chose to stay in the barn. This is a fun affordable upgrade/escape from camping without the glamour and high fees of glamping.This is rustic but cosy converted horse barn, in a central location for Bruny Island, 10 minute coastal walk down to the neck beach, 5 minute walk to the sea cave, and 5 minutes drive to adventure bay's beautiful and safe swimming beaches, general store, restaurant, bowls club, etc. The newly opened Izzy wine bar and wood fire pizza is just a few minutes drive away .
Absorb the ocean views from the lounge sofa or whilst lying in the double bed upstairs in the loft. The ceiling up in the loft is attic shaped, so its a narrow space, and the access is up ladder type stairs (see photos). If you are not confident to use this type of ladder, please seek an alternative place to stay, as they are steep.
The kitchen area has a dining table, the sink has a cold water tap only, but it's fresh rainwater from the tank, so it's perfect for drinking. Kettle will need to be boiled for hot water for washing dishes , and the dishwashing water needs to be disposed of on the garden, not down the sink. There is a toaster, kettle, microwave, 2 induction cooktops, tv, games, books, and a heater.
Porta potti camping style toilet and gas hot water camping shower are in the outside shed. Short showers please and minimal use of soap when using shower, as it drains onto the grass. Unfortunately this simple shower set up is not suitable for washing hair. If we are home, you are welcome to come use the shower in the house to wash your hair.
Please don't expect the high standards of Airbnb if you wish to stay here, this is a camping booking platform, so we dont charge a cleaning fee and we dont employ professional cleaners. We do however, provide you with fresh clean sheet, doona cover, pillow slips and towels. It would be appreciated if you could strip the bedding for us when you leave. It's a cosy comfie affordable upgrade from camping without the high fees of glamping. And overnight fees start with single rates to make it fairer for solo travellers not having to pay the same rates as a couple.
