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.

Awesome Stay
An excellent view, great location and property. A wonderful place to stay for families, friends and to include whatever age. The only things to let the owner know was that the accomodation could benefit with screen doors, on front and back and a power point in the bathroom of the bedroom, front right side facing the ocean.

Lovely stay in convenient location
Great house with amazing views, with a well equiped kitchen and some toys for the kids. The house was just a 5 minute walk to the general store, Hotel Bruny, liquor store and a calm beach, which my children visited daily. It did get very hot in the afternoons, especially if the blinds were left open, but this is just the consequence of one entire side of the house being walked in glass! Every room had an Airconditioning unit though. Our host, Mark, was very responsive to all queries and easy to contact. Thanks again for a great stay.

Relaxing island stay with waterfront views
The weather was cold, wet and windy during our stay so we very much enjoyed the wood fire, comfy leather loungers and water views from the expansive glass frontage overlooking the water. The house is just around the corner from the BI hotel and local store and is an easy drive to Adventure Bay, the winery and other local attractions. We had a very enjoyable relaxing stay.

A beautiful house perfectly positioned for exploring on your Bruny Island Getaway An awesome outlook over sunset bay and satellite island with the house soaking up all the afternoon sun while you enjoy a bevvy on the deck before watching the most epic sunsets . The house offers space to spend time with family but also the privacy of a bedroom wing on each end of the house with your own bathroom amenities. A drop punt distance from local produce and beautiful meals at Hotel Bruny and the beautiful little Alonnah store and only half an hour drive from Cape Bruny lighthouse , the famous Cloudy Bay beach or Adventure bay and an even shorter drive to great food and drink at Get Shucked and Bruny island Cheese And Beer Co A great house for a great stay in a beautiful part of Tasmania
