English woman Antoinette Pignon Powle built the cottage in the 1860s, making it one of Bruny Island's oldest homes. Originally named Oakchester, it is also known to locals as Mr. Wisby's Cottage - when Antoinette made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, she asked her neighbor to look after the house. She never returned.

The cottage has been restored, inside and out. It has 1 Bedroom, dining room/kitchen, living room, outdoor entertainment area, bathroom/laundry with walk-in shower and claw foot bath

The space
This is a quiet, cosy and beautiful clean English style character cottage located in a secluded paddock. If you are looking for a great place to stay for a few quiet relaxing days in a great part of Tasmania then this is the place. It is just perfect for a country getaway for two.

Guest access
The cottage has all the facilities of a city house but in the country. Quality European kitchen appliances, gas hot water, electric heating and underground power are modern facilities that go hand in hand with the ambiance provided by period oak furniture imported from the United Kingdom.

Other things to note
Please note that most of the roads on North Bruny are unsealed and so the road to the cottage is so best taken by daylight.
