Sunset Bay Escape- A spectacular place to unwind with a loved one or friends


Sunset Bay Escape is a unique Bruny Island holiday stay. It is a much loved luxury holiday house. With uninterrupted, panoramic coastal views & the most spectacular sunsets this beautiful house is a delight. A perfect base for couples, families, friends & groups for your next Island holiday. The house sleeps 6 people. Swim , fish, kayak less then 200 metres from the house. Situated on the aptly named 'Sunset Bay' this superbly designed & tastefully decorated house is the perfect base to explore.
The house has been professionally designed and built to breathe in the glorious sea and mountain views. The huge glass facade acts as a canvas to the Hartz Mountains, Sunset Bay and Satellite Island. The house has been designed to bring the outside in. The glass wall has a variety of opening doors to ensure you really enjoy the inside and outside flow. Over the past 12 months we have replaced the fridge, a new BBQ, smart TV, solar HWU, outdoor furniture and replaced the decking front & back with beautiful
merbeau hardwood decking. We have also upgraded the air conditioning with new units installed in bedrooms 1 & 2 as well as a new unit in the main living area!

The house is a real entertainers delight. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms are all tastefully furnished and the queen size beds are of high quality. The hotel quality linen ensures for a beautiful nights sleep.

The master bedroom alone is 37 square metres in size and has a flat screen TV, luxury ensuite, chaise lounge.

The main living areas have both reverse cycle heating and cooling and a large wood fire. The kitchen is equipped with a beautiful Ariston 6 burner gas oven, dishwasher, microwave, stone benchtops and quality kitchen wear. The kitchen is fully stocked to accommodate for our guests who love to cook. With the wonderful variety of Tasmanian produce at your disposal it really is a pleasure to utilise the kitchen facilities.

Leather recliners in the living area are beautifully comfortable and a real treat when wanting to lie back, relax and watch a DVD, TV or listen to music. The DVD and CD collection is very substantial. There is also a variety of books, including cook books to choose from. The TV room is equipped with ceiling speakers to take advantage of playing music and appreciating the great acoustics.

The house has a huge sun deck that takes full advantage of the uninterrupted panoramic sea and mountain views. A great place to spot black cockatoos, wallabies, sea eagles, parrots. Enjoy a barbeque on the deck or lie back on the sun lounges or dine on the outdoor dining table. There is also a large deck at the front of the house, equipped with table and chairs to enjoy the morning sunshine.

Alonnah
Alonnah is one of the best Bruny Island beaches to walk along. The house is large , as dramatic as in the photos and generously stocked with pantry basics. The front deck was superb! Hotel Bruny is a great local, and don’t miss Issy’s Bar (about 4km away).

Sunset Bay
Sunset Bay was a dream - the view from this house was exceptional to the point that we only ever reluctantly left the house. The kids thought it was “the best house ever”. Location was amazing either with an easy stroll to dinner at Bruny Island hotel. Would definitely recommend.

What a view
First time on Bruny and chose this place as it looked great and next to the pub. As soon as we opened the front door we were in awe by the view. 2 bedrooms and the whole living area have the same spectacular view. We only used main bedroom and the bed was super comfy. Took a while to get the house heated up but thats the price you pay for floor to ceiling views. If we get back to bruny we will def stay again

Bruny Island - Alonnah
This property is incredibly comfortable and spacious. Although there is space in between, including a quiet road, the full glass doors looking over to the bay and islands make a wonderful outlook. it was especially nice when the rain was beating down and the winds were blowing to stay inside in the warmth and watch the beautiful waterscape.
