"Quoll Hideaway - Bruny Island Bush & Beach Camping" is our slice of paradise and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. New! Aug 2024: the site now has a flat patch for campers visiting 🏕️ The plot is nearly 3 acres and is earmarked conservation land and surrounded by neighbouring conservation land. This is your perfect lunawuni/Bruny Island escape! It is tucked away from the no-through gravel road and surrounded by Australian bush and wildlife with filtered water views of D'Entrecasteaux Channel and 100 m from the beach. It's a tranquil heaven yet so close to all the famous Bruny sites and must dos: Bruny oysters, beer and cheese (why not bring some to the campsite to enjoy?) The Neck, Truganini Lookout + penguins! Cape Queen Elizabeth Track and other hiking trails Adventure Bay and *white wallabies (*we give you a map on where to go to find the white wallabies!!) South Bruny, and the Light house When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course. As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite! Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots. To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her. The campsite is a perfect spot to see wildlife, and birds, and for photography. On the campsite is a large outdoor kitchen with two sinks. Wait... is there a bathtub? Yes! The bathtub is great for a bush shower (byo solar shower) as the taps are not connected. You must bring your own toilet. Rainwater is available too, we have two tanks! Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species. We love the quolls and know you will too so please do not disturb their homes. The site is excellent for stargazing once nightfall arrives. Simply BYO a hammock (we have prepared the setup!) and lie down to watch the stars with a glass of red or a hot chocolate. We recommend campervans for the site and it's only suited to self-contained campers leaving no trace behind. Available on-site and free to use are also a director's chair and a table. The kitchen is also equipped with a double sink, dish rack, two buckets, BBQ tools, cutlery, and a dustpan. There is also a cleaning kit with biodegradable spray, hand sanitizer, and soap. There are also a set of caravan/van leveling ramps and chocks for you to freely use. The site is perfect for those wishing to find privacy amongst an otherwise busy Island. Escape the tourists and experience Bruny Island like a local. Questions? Please reach out!This is a private campsite, we only accept one booking at a time, meaning you'll have the camp to yourselves.

Bruny Island - Quoll Hideaway Camp
Relaxing at Quoll Hideaway
We had a great time at the Quoll Hideaway with our four Border Collies. The nearby beach plus the short drive to other dog-friendly beaches ensured our dogs were well exercised as we were. Our plan was a quiet time and the Quoll Hideaway gave us that opportunity to recharge our batteries. Easy to follow directions, heaps of firewood provided if ordered. The potaroos and wallabies graze on the property, our dogs didn't distract them, but no quolls did not come visiting, not surprised, probably aware of the dogs. Next time must pack the hammock. We had a camper trailer and using the level pad we were able to setup comfortably. We had a great relaxing time, we certainly recommend, and only a short drive to food and beverage places on Bruny plus other attractions.

So peaceful!
Beautiful spot. So peaceful! A little tricky trying to get the van level. Had to just deal with a bit of a lean. The kitchenette and covered area was a great additions. Dogs loved being there. Thank you, Linda :)

Lovely little bush camp. Nice to have a short stroll down to the bay of a sunset and head back up to camp with a fire at night. Easy access and hospitable, friendly hosts. :)

Many quolls came around, so cute! I actually have never seen quolls coming that close to me before. Very easy nice walk to the beach.
