Bruny Island Campsite
Luxury tented retreat
You might wake to a gentle thumping past your canvas abode by an inquisitive wallaby, or it may be the aroma of warm croissants which lures you from your king-sized luxury.
Nestled in a private 100-acre property on the edge of the South Bruny National Park is a glamping haven built completely off-the-grid. It's equipped with a solar panel, rainwater tank and a gas system for a lovely hot shower at the end of a day's walk – the outdoor shower, framed by towering eucalyptus, is a particular highlight for guests. There are also power points to recharge your phone or camera batteries as it'll be hard not to take plenty of photos!
