Bonnet Hill, TAS · 1 site
Located just a 20 minute drive from the Hobart CBD, this beautiful 0.67 hectare coastal bush property is set in a little valley right by Kingston Beach, Browns River and Tyndall Beach. It's just a short 5 minute stroll down the road to the beach, or up the road to the start of the Alum Cliffs Track.
Activities you can enjoy here include birdwatching, bushwalking, swimming, kayaking, fishing, sailing, bike riding, dog walking.
You'll be staying in a fairly new comfortable bedroom with ensuite bathroom tucked under my house. There's a double bed made up with fresh linen. You'll enjoy hot showers, a flushing toilet and almost complete privacy. There's mains water. With prior notice, you could use the washing machine inside the house and hang your clothes on the clothes line strung between trees.
Parking for two cars and/or caravan/campervan is easy. A circular driveway surrounds the house with a driveway extension.
I hope to build an outside kitchen at the nearby shed, but for now campers need to be self-contained for their cooking and washing up, or else take the short walk to Kingston Beach and the excellent cafes and restaurants there. Food scraps need to go in a compost bin on site.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy a fire when conditions allow it. Longer pieces of firewood are provided free of charge and kindling can easily be collected from around. (I'd rather you didn't use the shorter pieces of cut firewood as they are for my wood heater). You could enjoy a wood fired bush bath for a small charge, conditions allowing, with advance notice. Early evening is the best time to enjoy a bush bath and star gazing with set up in the afternoon.
Wildlife is abundant and includes birds, wallabies, possums, echidnas and bandicoots.
You are welcome to bring your small dog, but please ensure it's under control at all times. Wildlife are at risk if your dog is a hunter and roams free. Tyndall Beach (the Kingston dog beach) down the road is where your furry friends can have a run. Walk them to the beach on a lead and let them off there. I have an older Jack Russell who is afraid of big dogs, sorry.
I think this is the perfect place to experience a little bush luxury before beginning or ending your Tassie adventures.
I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome to The Bush Circus. This is where I love to play and I welcome you here. All the deets you may need are listed here so read careful. Of course you can contact me if you can't work something out.
You arrive here at the bottom corner of the property on Slab Rd where there is a place to park cars around several large gum trees. There is a very short walk through bush on manicured trails to one of three dedicated camp sites all of which is sign posted. There is also one RV spot at the car park. Toilet is located within a short walk from each campsite.
All sights are reasonably flat and they all have a campfire. Please feel free to pick up twigs and breakable sticks to create a fire. If you want firewood it is $1 per piece and you can put this into the tin at where the firewood is collected.
RV Spot- This is marked out as a section on the car park area. There may be some other cars near you but these are for the campers.
Holy Tree Camp- The first sign takes you to this camp. You will see the tree with the burnt out base. Suitable for a small to medium tent.
Tall Tree Camp- Second sign leads to here. It is adjacent to the tallest tree on the property. Small to medium tent.
Octopus Tree Camp- Look up. You will see how it gets its name. Small to medium tent.
This is a small property and if you get lost just follow the tracks you will find the camp you have booked.
There are two toilets. Toilet one is for number 2's and toilet 2 is for number 1's. Just to make it confusing. All signposted but message me if you can't work it out.
The circus area is not available for campers. Please contact me if this area interests you.

A 14-acre hobby farm, surrounded by bushland with a lovely creek running through it. A five-minute drive from the beach and the boat ramp, it makes a great base to explore the channel side of Bruny Island. The local pub and cafes are also just down the road. Cloudy Bay is just a 15 minutes drive up the road.
We offer around 2 acres of lovely flat land with manicured grass for camping, with good access. Plenty of space. Fresh drinking water is available from the 2x large water tanks behind the shed. Feel free to use.

Great little bush retreat in an awesome location. Convenient to Kingston as well as Kunanyi and Hobart. We read the ad and brought our own cooker so no issue there for us. Barbara was great to deal with, we’ll definitely be returning to this one!

What a magical spot and lovely animals galore-both 2 and 4 legged ones. Peta and Rory have a lovely farm/camp in an idyllic mountain spot, with friendly farm animals, birds galore and nightly woodland creatures. The hosts are outgoing, friendly and energetic, making us instantly feel at home. The welcome included Peta's guided drive up the mountain, with amazing views of the valley. We feel honored to have shared this space with such inspiring people. Peta and Rory, we wish you every success with your plans and hope to return to visit soon! Many thanks for the great experience and memories!!

4 nights at Bush Refuge by the Beach
We had a fantastic stay at Barara's. The house is at the end of a road leading to the sea. Therefore, there was not too much trafic, but to us it was only a few minutes to get down to the water. There is a bridge you can only cross on foot down at the beach, leading directly to Kingston beach, a lovely little city with nice restaurants and coffees. Barbara was a fantastic host, very attentive to our needs and we only saw each other a few times, but when we did it was as to talking to a friend. Thank you for letting us stay with you, the place itself was surrounded by nature and made us feel right at home. Everything we needed!

What a wonderful spot! Entrance a little tricky (just take it slow) but the site is fantastic. Mostly flat with a great fire pit and MASSES of firewood! We really appreciated it as we have just come back to live in Tassie after 20 years in Queensland, so even though the days were lovely, it was a tad chilly for us. The site is totally private with a short stroll to the bay and central to every attraction on the island. A highlight was seeing a pair of yellow-tailed black cockatoos. We absolutely loved our stay here and I reckon it will be one of our favourites!

The farm space is generous with ample space for quite a number of vehicles/caravans. The grain field next to the camping space was beautiful to look on to. It was fairly level with grass everywhere. The forest on the one side was also nice.
We will stay here again in future should we be in the vicinity.

Roger’s place has been fantastic. The block is sheer wilderness—rugged nature at its best, surrounded by chirping birds, wallabies hopping through the landscape, and an open fire crackling beneath a sky full of stars. Pure serenity.
