Beautiful area
Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Nestled in the foothills of Mount Mangana in Adventure Bay, Birdsong is a peaceful bush retreat with a breathtaking view. The house is secluded yet only a short drive from the main townships of Adventure Bay and Alonnah on South Bruny Island. The perfect getaway for couples or small families.
The space
Birdsong comes equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday - be it a winter break snuggling in front of the fire with a good book, a summer beach escape, or an exploration of southern Bruny.
The property has two bedrooms - the Master with a queen bed and the second bedroom with two king single beds in bunks. With an open plan kitchen and lounge flowing to the large outdoor deck, you can sit back and soak in the peaceful bushland surroundings, looking out across Adventure Bay.
You can also explore the 10.5 hectare property via the network of tracks weaving through the bush and rainforest.
- This property can sleep up to 4 people.
- Children are welcome and the cottage is well equipped with toys, books and games. Parents of toddlers should be aware there is a drop of 80cm off the deck.
- Pets are welcome - please let us know at the time of booking if you intend to bring your pet, and take note of the related rules in the “House Rules” section.
- The main area surrounding the home is fully fenced and includes an outdoor bath, fire pit and table tennis table.
- Fire wood and kindling are provided.
- A portacot and high chair are available on request.
- An outdoor 32 amp, 3 pin powerpoint is available should you have a portable fast charger for your car. There is also an easily accessible outdoor 10amp powerpoint for regular chargers.
Guest access
There is plenty of parking by the house. Access to the property is via a dirt road (approx 4km) which is pretty well maintained, but does have some bumps. It is a 10 minute drive to the Adventure Bay township and there are three beaches within 10 minutes drive. Beyond the main roads, most roads on the island are unsealed. The only place to refuel your car is at the Adventure Bay General Store. If you are driving an electric car, you can charge overnight at Birdsong - there is a 15amp external powerpoint. We recommend arriving while it is still light for ease of navigation and to avoid the nocturnal wildlife.

My work: Language teacher
Speaks English, French and Spanish
I live in Hobart with my husband, two children and two very cheeky miniature dachshunds. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, gardening, playing and coaching hockey, and teaching French and Spanish. I love sharing our special place on Bruny, “Birdsong”, and the new “Orangerie” in Hobart, with guests from far and wide.
